Most people are not really hurt by the world.

Past simple

I read somewhere that H.G. Wells was very disappointed in people.

He thought that we would have arrived at more of a scientific community

He expected people to lean more toward science

would gather intelligence and know the right direction.

So what really hurt him was his own expectations.

What you think should happen is not real.

You're disappointed by your own projections.

If you meet a person, you say "There's a wonderful person"

and they turn out to be different than you suspected

you get mad, and you say "She isn't that wonderful"

and it's your own projections that you're mad at.

"I don't know enough about them to make a judgment."

you say "Up to now, they appear to be so-so."

But something may come back that reminds them of something else.

So they hurt you. They really don't hurt you.

They're normal. That is, normal to their values.

and when things get tough, she prays, rather then

because she doesn't know what else to do.

and try to inform people as to how to look at things.

It may take you two or three years to do that

but we would expect to find people that understand what we say.

It means they understand a limited amount.

Now, in chemistry, if you mix certain things together

certain things happen, at a certain temperature.

At different temperatures, the same thing doesn't happen.

You can get mad and throw the experiment on the floor

So if a person wants to be more analytical

they have to learn how to say "I don't know"

or "Up to now, everything seems to be OK.

My relationship seems to work out in many different areas

by the reaction of people we had a negative view of.

my negative view becomes a positive view.

But if I have a negative view, it means I was projecting.

you'll understand that they can't live under those conditions.

They're not bad people. They revert back to their conditioning.

Now, "reverting back to their conditioning" means

if a man is shot, he's laying in the battlefield

he says "I hope the first-aid people come soon. I don't feel very good."

If they don't come soon, he says "Where the hell are they?"

but they come as soon as they can come, whenever that is.

And if you can't take it, you can swear all you want to

but if you continue to swear and continue to get angry

they're apt to arrive during that period.

because I hoped they'd come and rescue me.

I think it was called "The Shape of Things to Come"

in which a pilot shot down a German pilot or another pilot

He couldn't leave. He says "The plane is going to explode

this guy gave him a gun to shoot himself.

there was a guy caught in an airplane. [He] couldn't get out. [It] was burning

so the guy shot him twice. The guy loved him

If anybody claimed he was suffering so much from cancer

Do you know what I mean? If a person is suffering from cancer

The doctor says "I can live three months with this condition."

and you shoot him. Are you a murderer? Are you kind?

All those words are very difficult to deal with.

It depends on how attached you are to the person.
