Strange situations that make me wonder about stuff.

Sometimes I wonder: is it better to try something new or to follow what generations have experienced before us??? What is the best way to go about life?

And another question pops into mind: what is the best way to understand a given situation? How can we trully pereive it? Can we only do it by our means of undestanding our surroudings OR can we really undestand the situation without any interference of our own ideas and pre-conceptions. 

So the related questions come naturally:  if in the past we've been maltreated, can we ever be at ease in strange situations where we are not completely sure what is going on? EVEN if we are with people that we are sure love us dearly?  What is it that make a good friend? Or a partner? What can we expect from others? Or are we truly alone in this earth? This really scare me, I donnot need people to assure me that everything will be fine, but when I feel that the people that really matter in my life are unable to do so, i feel lost and hollow.

But at the same time I ask myself if it is only my way of computing it in a emotional way...and I lack in objectiveness. 

I need a vacation.
