i was having a talk with my stephanie ano the other day about how i felt selfish because of the things i complain & stress about, when half of our world is starving and living in poverty. i remembered something justin said to me a few weeks ago.. he said everyone hurts no matter what. and i'm starting to understand the concept more. well, i guess i have, but it becamse more clear to me this weekend for whatever reason. we can all talk shit on paris hilton when she's crying over a broken nail (okay maybe not exactly that, but people hate on the fact that all she stresses about are brand name clothes and purses and partying).. while there's millions of people who are wondering if they're going to have a meal that day. i, personally, think paris hilton's not too bad and honestly if you were born with as much money as her, you'd probably be fucking around and partying all the time too. don't lie. anyway, i thought about what justin said and i think what i understand is, everyone, no matter how rich you are or how much material things you have, feels pain. everyone feels pain for different reasons, but we all hurt. you judge people and say certain things that hurt them are stupid, but i think the pain some rich old lady feels from her little pet dog dying can be the same pain a little boy in a third world country feels from not being able to go to school because he has to work to help feed his family.
