All of my life I have felt an inner calm, a strong sense of self and unity with the world around me. I always try to maintain my composure under all circumstances; I feel as if it gives me a sense of clarity and understanding. Although there are moments where I lost myself; such as when my principals and values are violated, or when the natural order has been disrupted.
I was wondering if any of you can relate to this. When I am around most people I get the sense that their minds and hearts are clouded with a storm of emotions and thoughts. They always seem puzzled or confused by my dispassionate demeanor. Assuming that I don't care or understand what going on, or I am not as emotional invested as they are. Which may or may not be true depending on the circumstances, context, and perspective I have adopted.
