One Big Family
It’s amazing how one can become great friends with people whom they have only known for such a short period of time. Sometimes even though it has been only a short while, it seems as though you have known the person for a long time. And when you think of people whom you have known for a long time, you suddenly squirm with guilt at the lack of knowledge or understanding of the person.
It’s interesting how one can spend time with people and yet not make any progress understanding one another.
I m sure the whole world is connected in some way. My relative’s relative’s relative could jolly well be a good friend of mine and her relative’s relative’s relative’s……relative’s friend could be the brother or sister-in law of my cousin. So we are really one big family. In that case, why do we look upon others differently? If I weren’t so sane, i would run around hugging eveyone and thanking them for being a part of my big family. Ahah…world peace.
But really, it makes you want to treasure and hold on to every moment for fear that you will lose everything with one wrong move.
Life is mundane but it is the people who make it interesting. And mankind is a bizzare species. Sometimes i wonder if everyone is trying so hard to be liked and to be part of that in-group, why do we even have to bother since everyone is in the same boat? Then again this might be a sweeping statement because researchers may tell us that everyone cannot be classified under a single category. There are the different personality traits – the extraverts and the intraverts – as well as those who are high or low self monitors.
