Another day of confusion.
I'm not really sure what's going on up in my head. I'm seeing the world in a different light and I'm not liking a lot of what I am seeing. I have always tried to see the better side off people, look past what I've seen and heard. I try to trust, forgive and stay loyal. Where has all of this gotten me?
Even more disturbing, look at how I am reflected in the people around me. I am what I am fighting. I am no better than anyone else, of course, I know that. I grew up being told that we are all equal. I am equal to the Queen of England and she is equal to the woman that works at the corner store down the street, who is equal to Saddam, who is equal to me. Subtract any name and add any name you want, for the answer will always lead to you. If you were to look into a mirror and see your inner self, it would bare resemblance to ... basically every single person you have heard about, spoken to, saw or anything ... because we are all equal meaning that our qualities are equal and shine within eachother. Correct?

yes, and no.
I think that we all have the capacity to love equally, hate equally ect, but no one is exactly the same inside.
We're all beautiful of course, but we've also got dark sides, and in some people they live by that instead of their inner light.
So you may meet someone who has love like you do, but chooses to inflict pain upon others and reflect their hatred.
That doesn't mean you're the same as they are, you have the same capacity to behave that way, but you choose not to.
Life's about choice, we're not the same, because we choose differently.
I'll agree with Caite. We are all capable of loving, hating, etc, but what makes us different as people is the extent to which we love, hate, etc. Fear not & battle on! Part of life is fighting to become the person you want to be!
I agree that our outcome depends on the choices that we make, but all the same, we all have those qualities within us. We have the ability to turn into anything from a killer to a queen. Now in saying this, what I meant about being sad, is looking around and seeing wasted potentials.
I read once that potential carries with it the stigma of failure.
Instead we should consider ourselves as having ability.
In your saddness you saw wasted ability, which was a loss of potential.
Instead of looking at what others have thrown away, maybe you should see in yourself the ability to rise above their hopelessness.
In doing that perhaps one day, they will see in you a way to regain their lost potential.
In short Gill, lead by example. You have a lot to give.
See now here's the thing. I see lost potential but there are others that don't see that. Hmmm this is hard to explain. I am not asking a question nor do I feel like anyone can explain this.
I don't see what you see, nor do I feel what you feel. My original point was about equality then it switched over to abilities, potential and yata yata yata
My perception of wasted potential ... now here's the thing ... Who is to say what is right and wrong? Some people make a life on doing things others feel are wrong, but they lead happy lives. So does their happiness mean any more little than my own? Religion aside of course, because we could get into the longest discussion and I'm just not up for that.
Im tired ... so I hope that all made sense
