I may not be geared up or at the right mental state to fully function in our soceity. But I do still know what is important to me as a human being. Humility, empathy, sympathy, forgiveness, doing my best to be openminded, and most important keeping a sense of humor. Life may not be fair or turn out how we'd like. Appreciating my family and friends, and treating others especially the people that in our soceity are looked down on or projected as second class for whatever reason like real human beings. Whether its waving hello, opening a door for someone, saying thank you while looking the recipiant in the eyes, listening, or sharing a funny anecdote or joke. I read in someone's dating profile that she may not have faith in individuals but more for the whole human race. I'm the exact oppisite. I have little faith in mankind and believe that individuals just being humane to other humans make our world a better place to live than any scientists or politicians could acomplish. I don't know if that's what I believe totally or part of me being codependant. I think a decent mixture of both. I'm cynical, pessimistic, a lot of the time. I'm probably not going to have a huge impact on soceity in general. Maybe its skipping the big picture, which can be ominus and out of reach. Making a positive difference in someone's life, listening to someone elses point of view, sharing my own point of view, and being honest and comfortable with other people, be that a neighboor, stranger, friend, lover, girlfriend, or someone I wouldn't normally talk to, is what I consider being able to grow or as a person or just be myself, whatever that means.
