I love it when you find that people you have already decided something about turn out to be contradictive to your judgement. I've felt ousted by someone before because of preconcieved notions. Just the same, I have probably ousted others as well. I guess the proper justification is, well hell, we're only human. Though the lesson is hard one to learn, and the behavior required is also difficult to employ, treating our fellow man with kindness at the rate of wreckless abandon might save ourselves the embarrassment of unpleasant preconcieved notions. Though, true to form, it also may set us up for some disappointment, overall I think it makes for better relations and more pleasant personality.. creating a positive atmosphere for even the most indifferent apathetic man. What an idealistic notion. I believe whole heartedly that the acquisition of meaningful relationships are SO much more important than acquiring posessions. Why not look that very intimidating person in the eye and wish them a happy day? Why not smile genuinely at the darkened looking young person with blue hair and a nose piercing? Why not kindly offer your arm to the elderly person hobbling across the ice? True to form, people are people. When stripped of materialistic things, be they rags or be they riches, we are made of the same clay. Why not be kind to one another? When did life stop being about connectivity and begin being a race to the top? Why is it so important to categorize one another? So this person over here has a brand new shirt made by so and so and it costs sooo much money because so and so is a true visionary... blah blah blah... best snub nameless over there because his body is housed in threadbare clothing too large AND too small... Ironically snubbed nameless is usually true visionary's subject of inspiration. How did I come to stand on this soapbox?
It happens.
Once and awhile.
I can't help but find myself disgusted by the indifference of the human race.
Myself included. |
