Strangers walk close enough to see the pupils of another. Yet don’t take a blink of an eye to notice the colors that stare back. Ignoring all life of someone else as if they don’t exist. Sheltering self so selfishly, they do not care to find out the good in another good morning, nor hello. Head hung as if sad. Contact is avoided due to reasons of their own past. Lingering in body language as if filtering out all possibilities of being abused. And it shows in the lack of character expressed as they stroll along quietly. Repeating every movement, day in-day out. Only if they knew the untold stories of those walking the same lonely stroll as them. Peddling feet creep on by while other stand still without sound in crowds. Confusing it is.
People have forgotten to be human and lack the courteous pleasure of simply living along side one another. Some do take into consideration at high volume areas like doors and such. Others find it meaningful to respond to a smile that’s upright and facing the world. Yet it’s the 90% of those who think their above the rest that really haven’t a clue on what their missing. Are some worth the time to even hold a conversation with? No. but how will one ever know if one doesn’t lift thy head and speak out of turn and just say a word or two?
Initiative. Best foot forward. Chance. Letters forming the possibility to find in someone that may never exist if not given the notion of interest sort of speak. Loners I call them. Keeping to self and their so called kind. Knowing we’re all the same. Stuck up, rude or just arrogant. Most have problems with new faces changing shape right in front of them as time ticks away. Slowly deteriorating the fact of trust. Yet we all change. Accepting this in one another is the key. So this is not a good enough excuse.
Humans have become distant due to what we have made this world out to be. It is our fault and duty to give hope back to what I consider a fixable cause. But it will never happen. We will continue to ease on by in our own world and time. Deliberately excusing self from an others way of thinking and way of life. This is how we co-exist. Bubbles of self absorbent bull shit. Living within comfort zones and circle of trust. Protecting the one thing that matters most. Self! It’s not a crime but very much over rated.
And I ask because I’ve been on the other end. How will you know who a friend can be? Who you click with? Where they are hiding? If you, in your best interest don’t look straight forward and at least use some peripheral vision and see what is going on around you. Someone standing next to you tomorrow can make a world of difference and you will never know thinking inside the box. Step outside and find some humor in talking to folks. There are some characters among us that have reasons why they say the things they say. Good or bad, both are accessible threw conversation. And as is for you to decide what grasps your attention. Perhps it’s not all that bad of an idea to live a little. Thing is, you just don’t know.
