"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." William Shakespeare wrote this and people have used it and misused it in numerous situations. I categorize this in the Cliche' statement folder. This folder is used often in my everyday life and, much to my dismay, over used according to some. In order to sound intelligent we regurgitate quotes and cliche' remarks in our normal conversations. I want to understand why?
The need to feel intelligent and or prove our superiority to another comes into play often with out our knowing. I do it every day. I have been know to one up and seek to make myself greater at the expense of another. The Pride gene in every human cannot help but rear it's ugly head the moment we forget our purpose or our inequities. We often confuse the need to be liked with the thought that people will only like us if we are superhuman!
Pride cometh before the fall!... (I forgot) Yes, I love a good cliche' statement however I will examine my heart as to the motivation before I use. I will stop myself daily and ask: What is your purpose in this?
