I am an egg about to be cracked and cooked up for breakfast...
Stop, and take a look....
...at the world around you folks. It's passin you by and you don't even know it. One of the biggest problems of the new generation is that they have a lack of concern for what's goin on in the world around them. The world is handed to us on a silver platter...so to speak, so WE think. I've observed lately that the people around me don't really know about other things going on in the world. Whether it's because they're too busy, or don't care, I'm not sure. But I hypothesize that it's the latter, because most people aren't so incredibly busy as to take a minute or two just to even read headlines, let alone the actual details of current events. Whenever I mention something, the response is most usually complete utter surprise. And I think it's just sad. I didn't know that striving to be so self-reliant and successful meant excluding everything else but one's own self. We are supposed to learn from the mistakes of today for a better tomorrow, or something to that effect...just as our present is a result of the pasts of others. The way is being paved for our children, and children's children, and so on...not US. The world is too self-absorbed in achieving this so-called "success" that nothing else really matters...well to me, everything ELSE is what REALLY matters. When I look back on my life, I want to be able to see how many people I've been able to help, comfort, and love, and that i tried my best to avoid to hurt anyone. I want to be able to have been aware of everything that went on around me and use it to better myself and to better those around me... It seems I that I want something that could only be described as...UTOPIA, but is it really asking too much???
Thumbs up to...
-David Steele and Wayne Ulanski, from SVC Flow Control, who so kindly gave me time to interview for a possible interesting, yet intimidating position at their company.
-People who give advice
Thumbs down to...
-The Labor Dispute, causing billions of dollars of damage
-Shit-talkers and non-confrontationalists
-Migraine headaches
-Drama
"Give yourself completely to love, and let it do the rest..."
