How do I perceive when I do?

I am attempting to realize, how I perceive, and how I encounter my perceptions. Perhaps, when one encounters perceptions, it is called reflection. In a difficult situation, what can I do, to make the situation less of a conflict for my environment? This is perhaps, the overriding motive behind my reflection. After all, it is when one perceives conflict, that one is involved in that conflict.

How should one encounter life?

Is life a matter, so much to use philosophy for? How do we take life so personally? Do we try to escape misery, and do we try to teach others to escape misery too? If we are in misery, we are afforded sympathy, and if we see the perception of misery, in others, we afford sympathy. Human beings are adept at playing God, like little children play. We play God to our children, to our pets, and at any given opportune time available. We like to tell ourselves, that we care about others, that it matters to others, that we care about them. If our caring is not appreciated, then it causes problems, for others and for ourselves. Who struggles to be responsible? A person who needs to be. Who are we wanting to show our responsibility to? Ourselves? To others? Perhaps, we are rewarded for being responsible. Hence, we take responsibilities on ourselves. If responsibility was not important, then all the pleasures of life, would not be important, too. What makes us so personal about others? Our lives are spent, in trying to be happy, or in trying to make our miserable existence, if we are miserable, into a happy one. We are spreading the disease of our importance all over our surroundings and as a burden on other people. Human is the only species, that tries to make the environment adapt to the human's existence. For the animals, it is the other way around.
