"What confuses you most about life? - people" - (KU Prompt)

1. What confuses you most about life? Explain how you have approached resolving that confusion.

Isn't it funny how you think that you know someone but you really don't? You actually have no idea who they really are and what they are thinking. People are the most complex beings in existence. People should be themselves, and speak their mind. To not be afraid if something is not making them happy. People shouldn't have to feel as though they have to go behind other people's backs to vent their feelings. It's not really fair as that person is not there to defend themselves and it is a shame that they have to do that. People are confusing.

We pride ourselves in being intelligent and smart exquisite creatures of God, but we cannot learn to live in peace with one another. Instead we feverishly build barriers just to keep other people at bay. Essentially, people do not want to touch nor do they want to be touched. People often suspect others of anything, everything - culture, religion, policies, education, size, shape color, status, and everything else in between. Why?

Our society cannot honestly express our true sentiments over important issues without being subjected to doubts or suspicions or harsh judgments. It is seldom that people engage in friendly disagreements, which is not at all impossible. It is very possible only if we want to, but we choose not to, because people are confusing.

Nonetheless, in resolving this confusion, one must take it one at a time. All that is required is interest, attentive listening and appropriate responses. People converse for satisfying four common needs: the need for attention, the need for connection, the need for validation, and the need for belonging. Once we understand what drives interpersonal dissertation, it is easier to understand what people need and to respond appropriately. Through better understanding others, we better understand ourselves and can help create a more loving and receptive connection between people.

Furthermore, when we leave this world, all that we leave behind are memories, and other people whose lives we have affected. From all the things I have ever learned, is that for everyone in the world, there will only be five people who understand you. That is it. Five people who honestly and truly understand you, love you, and will be there for you no matter what.

At least one is a family member. Family cannot be told by genes, or DNA, or anything. It is told only by the connection between people, and the level they see each other at.

Another is a love, a true love, the one person who you were destined to spend the rest of your life loving. If you don't believe in destiny or that anything is planned, then call it coincidence that you have feelings that you cannot go without them and that your life is utterly and completely revolving around them.

The rest are friends. These people just completely understand you. Whether it's because they are very much like you, or the complete opposite, they can somehow understand your being, interpret your unspoken words and be able to listen when you need to talk, be a shoulder to lean on when you need support.

For most, this is how it is. For me, I have three absolute best friends who get me. I guess they qualify in all the three groups mentioned. They are my family, they are my ultimate friends, and I love them all.

I think your sentences are wordy so these are just my suggestions, if you can find a use for them then great, if you don't then it's OK also.

Isn't it funny when you think that
Haha your first paragraph confuse me


merge this two--> People should not be afraid to speak their mind when something makes them unhappy.

People shouldn't have to feel as though they have to go behind other people's backs to vent their feelings. It's not really fair as that person is not there to defend themselves and it is a shame that they have to do that.

--> There is no reason to stab someone in the back when that person is not there to express his/her own opinion ( I assume that's what you mean)


how being in smart and peaceful should has anything to do with each other?



doubts, suspicions, or harsh judgment
interest, attentive listening, and appropriate responses

four common needs: the need for attention, the need for connection, the need for validation, and the need for belonging.


--> We understand ourselves better through others


(just a suggestion)


--> why so specific, since you generalized your topic so not every one is the same (one family member, one spouse, and three friends?)

Family cannot be tolddistinguished by genes


--> work on this sentence, some part or unnecessary (like the destine and coincidence part)


--> again, you took it to the extreme


--> The similarities and differences cannot separate them from understanding your unspoken words, or becoming a shoulder for you to lean on in times of need.

And you need a stronger conclusion. Good Luck :)
