I've started meditating recently--well, today--and I've found that it does help to some extent. I find that my life is generally full of self-imposed stress. I am constantly trying to improve this but it seems though as if I am under constant scrutiny. I dislike being bothered by little things. I also dislike being around people that seem to agitate me all the time. I hate being around people that are constantly arguing--like my parents when they're together. I understand that I've been a part of huge arguments that I could have easily avoided had I been the stronger man.

The truth is, I have an inherent desire to convince people that I am right most of the time. Maybe I am, maybe I am not. I tend to notice small things that most people don't. And when I point it out to them, they never seem to get it and continue with their stance. I have a lot of pet peeves as a result of this and it's time that I stopped doing so. I've started screening people's calls on a regular basis now. Before I'd answer just to find out what was going on. Now, I simply don't bother if it doesn't suit my fancy.

So yeah, let's see how this turns out.
