What should I take seriously?

It might very well be a point in my life, but it’s a point nonetheless. How does one decide how seriously to take something?

There are many downsides to taking things too seriously. For one, I might be extremely easily offended. Imagine if I took my wardrobe seriously, and someone mentions in a passing statement how it looks normal. The stylist, who imagined the best things in the world, would only hear the disappointing realization that it did not work out. That would be a serious implication of someone’s passing statement.

What if I took all my educational exams too seriously? My gauge and self worth would be pegged to how well I was able to score. My practical competencies would be totally questionable, if I did not do well. But if I took the studies seriously, then perhaps I might not have done well for the exam, considering the exam focusing on specific portions of the field of study. Esoteric information might speak out more than the mass of information, and perhaps in taking it seriously, the fringe ideas gave better shape and understanding.

But maybe most importantly, what if we took our relationships too seriously? Would it mean devoting all our time, space, and efforts, to just building our friendships? To what end?

But I definitely ask all these things, because I definitely do not take things too seriously. It’s a struggle. But that’s life for me now, huh.

Don’t take this post too seriously too though. Because I don’t.
