People

People - there are too many of them in this world; yet at most times they seem too few.
They are apparently bursting out at the seams, over pressurizing the environment, other species, this universe; yet thousands of us when we sit alone, find no one to talk to, to share with, to lean on.

People - we don't know them, we don't understand them, mostly we don't care for them and they don't matter. Yet, you remove the few that do out of the picture and it becomes hard to find a reason for doing/enjoying the things that you do. Not just people you love, but people you see, people who inspire, people who we envy.

People - they say small minds discuss people (read it in a quote once somewhere), yet invariably everything comes down to them - the good, the bad, the ideas, the need for change, the need to stop, to do something, to prove something, to let go,to fight, to live - they ARE the cure and the disease (read: coldplay).

People - fill up everyday with the things they say, the smiles they bring, the conversations they fuel, the drama they create, their arrogance, their humility, their failure, their ability, their sorrows, their joy, their mere presence, their lives.

People - are important. There may be bigger goals and joys in life - to read, to travel, to become rich, to save the world, to learn, to know, to see and experience, but this one important entity - the people, make it all worthwhile, make it all real.

People - kill each other, hate each other, damage the earth, damage their own lives, disrespect other people, consider themselves superior, the ultimate force to reckon with, too big, too powerful to be destroyed. They hurt others, demean others, are apathetic, are irrational.

People - they need to learn, to stop, to listen, to be humble, to credit those who do great things (unrecognizably) every single day, to preserve, to protect, to laugh, to respect, to see the obvious (endlessly repeated) facts and apply them, to stop chasing things with blinders on, to not making money overwhelmingly important in life, to be appreciative, to help others, to complaint less, to breathe more.

People - are just plain funny. I love the one's I have and had, more than they know, more than I can say. They make my world and who I am count every single day.

(This stems from no where..or maybe from every where, what the heck, it is what it is.)
