Why are you still surprised?

If you’ve reached a point in your life where you’ve realized you don’t really know everything about yourself and can really shock everyone (you included), why are you still taken by surprise by things you haven’t forseen? It’s crazy! Take it on an as is basis, allow yourself a “Wow, really?” moment and move on. Stop over-analyzing!

This is a great idea. Maybe next time I encounter something like that, I'll just say "Holy cow! Really?", then move on.

We are taken by surprise by things we have not foreseen because it is something new to us. Or maybe something we have forgotten. We will always be surprised at something in our life no matter how old we get. Life itself is always changing, technology is always changing, so we are always surprised at something different and new.

I wonder what prompted you to discuss this situation? Anyway, I believe that there are times when you have just found out something new about yourself, you really just get surprised and have to see where this just came from or how it came to be. I mean, when I realized that I had a very bad temper and have reacted outrageously towards my father, I really had to analyze the situation and how it came to that. I told myself never to reach that point again and I have trained myself to restrain as much as possible from getting easily mad at anyone.

Haha now that you mentioned it, when i look back at my younger years, i remember doing things out of the ordinary and couldnt really believe that i actually did it. Feels like i had amnesia when i think back, my mind telling me over and over that i wasnt the one who did it or something haha

I think we should all accept the fact that we can't know it all in life and get ready to be surprised and even stunned sometimes;after all,if we knew everything and there wouldn't be any "wow!" moments any more,life would become extremely boring.Luckily there's always something new to discover,something that would leave us stunned or even shocked,but such events can only enhance our life experience,so I think that we should indeed stop over-analyzing everything and just enjoy the new life experiences offered by the surprises which inevitably will appear in our lives.
