It has become more noticeable to me, that we absolutely need one another.
What crazy nonsense am I talking about? It's simple in my eyes... A person makes eye contact with me, there are two choices. ONE: look away and pretend I don't notice them. TWO: make a connection
A simple smile can create a chain reaction of smiles. How awesome would it be to know your ONE smile made 100 people smile? And those 100 smiles made 10,000 smiles. Those 10,000 smiles made 100,000,000 smiles. How amazing..?
Why can't we see how simple, yes I said simple already, it is to make an impact on someone. You can actually do this for yourself. Look a reflective surface at yourself smile, even if you are faking it. You will smile back. Try it out and let me know how it works out.
Happiness spreads just as fast as negativity; which of the two would you rather spread like wildfire? For sure, I want to spread happiness.
A friend of mine said, "Community is religion." It does not matter what it is but, it is people of common interest coming together and being with one another. We need each other. I think about all of the corners of the earth, many communities, villages, or tribes, it's all the same thing, would not survive without each other.
It's my observation that we are getting farther and farther away from each other. Seems like a dangerous route. I like to pick up the phone and call someone instead of sending endless text messages. We need both physical contact and emotional connections with one another.
We can make the change! WE, regular everyday people can spread a sense of humanity. We can start by treating each person we run into with a little more care and concern. Even if it is just a smile. It is time to become less egocentric. Try looking outwardly. Look around you and take in what is really happening.
Enough of my ramblings for the evening. My hopes for my blog are "SIMPLE." I want to share my ideas and experiences to let people know that they are not alone and that, no matter what, everything, no matter how big or small, will be okay. I pink promise you this!!
