We are so funny to me. Humans that is. We do some of the oddest things. We worry when we shouldn’t; we fret over things that are minor, and won’t matter in ten years, or usually even five. I just find that odd. It’s confusing to me why other people do it, but then I look at my own life, and I am one of the worst victims of that. Sometimes issues bother me that shouldn’t. Take my future for an example; I know that everything is going to work out for me great. I know my life is going to turn out fine, but I worry about decisions, and although sometimes major decisions, I know they will turn out fine. But you know what, a lot of times, I dwell on them, when I shouldn’t. I think my view on a lot of things have changed since I was younger. I used to take the world as a generally friendly place, but now I see, from a different point of view, that generally, people are evil. That’s why things like Communism can’t work in our world. That’s a whole different discussion though. But back to the point, yes people are generally evil. We all know that.

Maybe it’s just that I grow tired of routine. Do you ever wonder why that is? I mean, if you think back to when you were a kid, everything seemed to go so much slower. Christmas seemed like they were years apart. Everything revolved around something so simple. Nothing was complicated. We had our little friends at school, and our little projects. No relationship difficulties whatsoever, we didn’t even know what they were at that point. The highlight of our day was recess, and I lived for Saturday morning cartoons. Garfield rocked man! And now, if you compare your life back then to now, our current ones are like enigmas. I guess the routine that we do day by day causes everything to go by so fast. I mean if you think about your trip to work today, or the last time you went, you don’t remember details on it at all. That’s because it’s routine, and we know it like the back of our hands. But see when we were kids, everything was fresh and new, it wasn’t familiar. The older I get, the faster time passes. Kind of sad to stop and think about.

Your statement ‘people are generally evil. We all know that.’ is a belief about reality that you then experience. Try changing your belief with persistence and you will begin to see the opposite.
I am still working on my reality which happened to bump into the two of you at this time. Send my love to LindsayBigs. What is love and joy but a foretaste of heaven to come? Is this fate? or is it a creative play that needs our utmost participation? GOD does not respond in the way you want Him to, when the one who most needs to respond is yourself. Don’t worry too much about the ignorance of others, because that’s why you have been planted there, to love them, to make a difference in their lives, to awaken them to the wonderful possibilities that lie waiting within them. There is One ‘GOD’ but coexisting ‘within” are many gods in the making. Don’t worry about being loved. Just know that your very existence presupposes or confirms the existence of a deep and everlasting love for you. Cheers to the both of you! I’d like to hear your friend’s thoughts as well on matters of the heart. lol nihal
