I
almost didn't include this on my new site.
However, I think this bit of information has some good points. I'm not saying my opinion is correct. I'm only saying that this is my opinion.
I've never
been able to understand the people that only identify with one type of
person (i.e. a close minded person, racist, etc.) or a person that
automatically judges someone based on their looks, their intelligence, or
their demeanor. Personally, I think that
what counts is on the inside, and there are a lot of good people with a lot
of good stuff inside. The very fact
that the person you are judging is alive and breathing means that they have
some purpose for being here. It's a
theory called "reverent respect" and everyone deserves at least
that.
Movies
are fun to go to with friends, but renting one and staying in w/ a special
person is better. Driving to a
destination is good, but driving nowhere for no reason is so relaxing. Being punctual is good, but every once in
a while it feels great to not worry about what time it is. Consider the innocence of children, my
friend. Much can be learned from a
soul so young.
I
believe that God put each and every one of us here for a reason and I want
to appreciate every moment of life.
I am thankful that I live in a free country. I believe that our founding fathers
established this country so it's citizens could
live without fear that they would be treated differently just because of
their religion, or their color, or who they chose to love. Do you think you have the right to judge
a person just because they aren't exactly like you? It doesn't have anything to do with this
whole "if everybody were the same the world would be boring"
philosophy. It's just the pure and
simple fact that I don't want to be like you, I want to be me. On the flip side, why would you want to
be like me or me like you? I'm sure
you could find something wrong with me, just as I could find something
wrong with you. Be yourself. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes
you don't.
I'm the
kind of person that can never hate anyone, regardless of what they do to
me. I don't know why, but for some
reason I think everyone has at least some good in them, and I can never get
past the "good" of a person no matter how "bad" they
are. I value every person that comes
in to my life, regardless of how long they are there. Every person I've ever met and every
situation I've ever been in has made me who I am. We learn by experience, mistake, and
reason. We are creatures of habit,
repeating what is inherent to us naturally and what is taught to us through
these experiences.
I have
no regrets and I wouldn't go back and change a thing. I think about some of the people that
have come and gone and wonder what I would be like if they were still in my
life. I strive to care for others
and have others care for me: some people just
aren't capable of that though. My
advice: make memories every chance you get.
To all the people that have passed through my life: Thank you for
what you taught me. And to all the
people that are still in my life: I'm glad you stuck around to see what
would happen
