Critical Thinker


Tonight my fiance told me that I'm very critical of others and that I don't think anyone is perfect. Soooooooooo true. If you put me with a person for 2 hours, I'm bound to come up with a fault they have (in certain cases, on first sight is good enough). I guess that's what makes me a Virgo. I expect perfection from myself and others and it really irks me when people repeat bad habits constantly.
No one can escape my criticism. My sister, for example, has bad skin, is materialistic, illogical in heated argument, but on the other hand she's a style queen. My fiance is an irrational, impatient, lazy worry wart, but on the up side is very caring and sensitive (only to me that is). My dad is an arrogant, insensitive know-it-all, but he's hardworking and takes good care of the family (but sometimes on a more practical handyman-like note, he really does know it all). My mum just nags, and if you don't get the point, she'll nag till you do. However, she keeps the house clean and it's a tough job so I admire that. Plus, she does all of those things for us just cos she cares. At the end of the day, I guess that's how people are. No one's perfect. Me included. I don't love them any less. That's just who they are.
It's a shame I don't feel the same way about myself. "I can be better". "I can work harder". I think it's what makes me strive though, but it also makes me look down on those, who don't bother to try at all.
Some people have a passion for whales. I just hate people who don't try to better themselves with a passion. Nothing wrong with that.
