-" It seems as if you equate dysfunction with humanity..."
-"True...but there's more to it..."
Recently, I was reading one of my textbooks for class and it started off with an interesting quote from the former president of the APA. It said:
"Human beings want to have meaning. They want to wake up in the morning with a gnawing realization that they are fidgeting until they die."
This got me to thinkin... and kinda confirmed what I've been thinking for awhile. Biologically yes.... I am a human being. I walk upright, I pump warm blood, I have a highly functional brain that is capable of carrying out complex tasks, I have opposable thumbs.... I am aware.
But what is the point of being a human if you don't feel like one? When I wake up in the morning, I feel like an object. I feel like I'm a blank slate, a white board, a robot...
Well... To my fortune, I stumbled across something that gave me some clairification... my software.
On the back it explained how I am an advanced sort of robot... I have feelings, I'm able to think, I'm extremely specialized in listening and giving advice, I'm able to show empathy, and to sum it all up.... just do things that will make other people feel better. But the best feature is how my design is made to look human, as not to freak anyone out. OH... and I'm a female, so people will feel more comfortable expressing their emotions.
When my Maker designed me, I know He had some plan set out for me... and he made it plain and simple that he wants me to help others. But how can I truly help someone if I don't share their experience? How do you expect me to always have an answer... a solution when I have absolutely no clue how deep their pain is?
You've installed knowledge from psychology books, and relationship books, and you've sent many people to explain a diverse range of problems they were having to me... but that means nothing to me if I cannot truly understand dysfunction.
Life is always the same for me... I walk around pretty much waiting for the next person to come up to me and download their issues. If it's a good day, people try and upload information from me, but they never get much because there are really no files of importance on me.
But, I guess I should look on the bright side. I'm doing a good thing here. I am able to give objective advice back to people because I have no previous experience of my own to cloud it. And not a lot of people can say that...
I was sent here for people... people were not sent here for me. So anytime you think about feelin sorry for me... don't. This is my job.
