Since I was a kid, I could observe my peers taking team games very seriously. Until now I never understood why winning some game on PE lesson can be so important. Recently I felt the urge to win volleyball match despite my team, including me, was kind of weak. I got a little bit irritated when losing. Before that event I wanted to write about how strange and irrational people that care so much about winning seem to me. I still don’t know why people get so upset about losing, but at least I experienced that feeling. It’s funny how take on things changes with new experiences. We probably should be more careful with thinking , that if something is unimportant and abstract to us, then it’s worse. What we think doesn’t necessarily have to be always the truth, so we shall have more understanding even for things that we don’t really get.

    One of the routes to open-mindedness is new experiences, which can change your perspective entirely. I've recently heard a story about a young Polish man, a homophobe, who went to work in Amsterdam for a year. When he came back, he surprised his family by announcing that he would vote for gay marriages if there was a referendum. He must have finally met some gay people in Holland and they turned out to be normal!

Man that conducts my extra english course is all crazy about health. He always checks composition of the food products and if there is something that is not healthy, he doesn’t buy it.  This made me think about how much time he wastes everyday thinking about what he’s going to eat. As a humans we live almost 100 years thanks to modern medicine and we are not ill that often. Paying so much attention to food seems to me not really necessary. I’m obviously aware how unhealthy food we are buying might be, but at the same time we are quite healthy despite chewing gum and drinking fuzzy drinks. I believe that it’s not about restraint but moderation.

You often see couples showing their affection in public. Not everyone would admit to that, but it's great satisfaction to show that you belong to someone and vice versa. People are afraid of loneliness and feel proud of achieving such relationship. Most of the people don't think only about love and desire that they have for another person. Social status that partner can give them and fact that they can show what a good catch they've got is also important. I'm aware that with time they often evolve into something deeper, but it's pretty shallow how it starts. In conclusion, people are more primary than they think they are.

I noticed that many people complain about young kids and teens being whole time on their phones. People recall their childhood when they were playing outdoors as this better way of spending free time. I remember when I went outside to play with other kids I didn’t spend my time in the most intellectual or even socializing way possible. We were just running around and irritating residential area’s security. Every generation has their own way of wasting time and none of them is better or worse. Times are changing and it doesn’t have to be necessarily bad. When they invented car people were complaining that people don’t talk so much with one another as before because no one stops on their way somewhere for gossiping with their neighbors.
