seinfeld

I was watching a rerun of Seinfeld and it urged me to write this blog. I swear its the full moon. It puts me in a weird yet positive mindset. People who admire sunsets, can understand how I look at full moons, only with a strange fascination. I can go off on this tangent right now about full-moons, but this Seinfeld thing is making me think.

In the episode "The Lockbox", George intentionally cheats on his girlfriend who refuses to break up with him in order to force her to dump him. He says at the end of the episode that, I've ruined 3 lives."

It made me start thinking about Seinfeld. The 4 main characters do a lot of things that upset, interfere, hurt, inconvenience, and the people around them end up testifying against them in the Final episode in a strange court case. If I was put on trial who would come to my defense as a character witness?? And the yin to that yang would be, who would testify against me??

I know that I've probably hurt and definitely helped a lot of people in my lifespan and which side would outweigh the other? You can hurt somebody really bad and you can help someone out of a jam and the person that was hurt is going to have much stronger feelings.

I don't want to live a life like Seinfeld in his TV show. I know I don't. But when you know people out there that have bad feelings towards you (maybe even saying bad things about you) perhaps you've done something wrong with your life.

What makes me move on without doing a serious necessary life-inventory is that everyone goes through this if know it or not. My life impacts a lot of individuals and thats a sign of my influence whether its good or bad. But regardless this isn't to boost my ego, there's a point. In the Seinfeld episodes you can see when Seinfeld does something wrong or does something right and its misconstrued as a selfish or whatever act. But we have sympathy for the character because we know his heart is in the right place.

My heart's in the right place. People, including me will continue to make mistakes even after experiencing the best life-lessons, getting educated at the best schools. We're fallable creatures that deserve multiple chances. Obama has been associated with Bill Ayers and McCain has been associated Charles Keating. My goal in life is not be the Keating, but the good guy when people speculate.
