The other day I was asked if I could pick only one thing to love the most, one thing I would keep when I could have nothing else, what would that one thing be? I asked if it could be a group of the same thing like clothes or electronics, "sure!" the questioner replied. I gave it a little thought, and my electronics were high on the list as was my daily coffee, but the more I thought about it I realized how superficial I was being. "well?" said my questioner. "People" I said. "people?" "People for sure, I love them." I tried to explain it saying that pretty much everything that I own came from a person. Whether it was the hands that made it, or the brilliant minds that thought it up, humans had something to do with it. What would any of our lives be without the daily interaction with family, friends and just plain strangers? Lonely thats for sure.
Have you ever just watched people? (you've probably seen a whole lot strange stuff) They are great. Sure there are SOOO many people that annoy the living crap out of me, but they also make me smile. For instance, loudtalkers anyone? It's especially annoying when they are all "cool" with their bluetooth, but Mr. Bluetooth usually says something that cracks me up that I would not have heard unless he was a loudtalker. (see what I'm getting at?) I guess what I am trying to say is I appreciate all people. We work hard, (most of us...) we can come together and adapt in all sorts of conditions (again, most of us...) and we all need some sort of interaction with each other to live a sane and happy life. (I have to say yet again, most of us) I encourage you to try and see one person in a different light sometime in the next two days. (like the person that annoys the living crap out of you) Look at them differently, listen with a different view and you just might see or hear something that makes you smile..... a good loving smile, not a mean make fun of you smile, mind you. Just don't take any one person(anybody at all) for granted, because once you have interacted with them they are forever a part of your life! Sorry, I feel this is kind of choppy, but I wanted to get it out. |
