I wish I had a way with words, it'd make this much less tasking, and that I'm not the sharpest tool in the toolbox, but I'm attempting to put some thought into this, really. I always seem to be finding myself looking around sporadically at people simply walking by, as well as unknowingly staring at them. I don't wish to think of myself as a psychologist, but I constantly make up ideas of people's whole lives and how they would react in a series of situations. I find myself watching every car that goes down the road in those slow days of traffic or days of speeding down the highway, realizing that every one of those vehicles is holding at least one person who sees life as I do and has contemplated all the thoughts that go through my mind, such as the very one I've typing about this second on this "about me", that will most likely be deleted in a matter of days. It's just difficult attempting to comprehend the fact that there are billions of beings with wandering minds, but get further frustrated understanding that little of these people acquire the trait of having empathy. A number of those individuals unfortunately practice apathy, not putting a thought to another. I can somewhat have an understanding of feeling apathetic towards humans for being put through traumatic times due to horrid events done to them by another, but it's ever so discerning believing it's so simple because I at least wish to believe that I am aware of others as individuals, while realizing that hardheaded people are abundant in all areas. And to whomever still be reading this running on mush of words, that I am under no impression that I'm an intellectual, just looking in too deep is always been a problem of mine. Being in a relationship surely exposes one (or at least to me) that another person truly can feel as you do, or at least I'd hope they have this knowledge and learn from it as well. So in those words, I could always oh so generically say that it's best to spread the love, but it's not false in any sense, haha though I can't lie in saying that I don't feel as if I'm reading from a script by saying that. This "about me" seems to have turned into my views on humanity somehow, but that there is not much to myself anyways, although attempting to get to know me is not my choice but for you if you were to be truly interested. ahah, and still my apologies for the run-on sentences and rambling on, yet I'm going to continue doing so? But now I'm just going to be continuing my babbling. I strongly distaste how it is that people are expected to work. Working in a cubicle is always what many people wish to never be their occupation, but someone has to do it. And sadly to say, there are mindless people who never put thought into their decisions beside the lure of creed. People are grown up being given directions to how to live there life, yet are told they can do whatever they put there mind to, when there minds are already brainwashed to thinking in specific android-like manner. Schools for example is just something you're told you must go through to acquire a wealthy job that most likely requires little of which you were taught in school. There's no need to exceed the elementary of learning unless you wish to do so. We're told that we're supposed to wear clothes for a single gender, yet when one goes out of that box they're looked as a freak or a f@ggot despite doing what they wish to do. Under the cells and skin, who we actually are is a blunder to most. They'll give you a ongoing list of the things they've done and the trophies they've earned, but all of those are simply what you've done, but not who you are. We're defined by our society's expectations of us. When you die, you'll not remembered for how intriguing you are or all the truths about you. You'll not go down in time with all of that who you actually are, only the "normal" things you apparently did that one time, with that one person. And when you're given the picture of an overweight or unattractive person who'll speak there mind, while you pay no mind, only laugh and snicker at them for not fitting into your norm standards. But I guess it's just not aesthetically pleasing. There are laws being passed attempting to keep those who don't fit the American mold. Even the government is regulating what you want to do for it's not what they want you to do, but freedom can not be regulated. If someone goes on some rampage because of being wronged by another and kills the particular man, he'll have his whole life be thrown away. While most likely you're argument will be "Well what if it was your family member who was killed?" For one, that would make me quite biased, but now I suppose it's just the American way to torture someone for being torturing another, yet attempt to teach that an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is wrong apparently? It's all frustrating being told who you are by a society who doesn't put any thought into what they see unless it's attractive to them. If only everyone was given an idea of what it's like outside of their surroundings. We all should know the experience of residing in a third world life, and perhaps having the clothes and possessions taken off our backs will help everyone realize who we are, and not what we have. And that I don't know who I am, but I am ever so interested in how others think of myself, so tell me, if you'd please. And I'm sorry about the length now looking at it all, and if I appear as if I'm better than anyone else, for I know I'm not, and neither are you. Thank you for reading.

That's definitely an interesting way to look at things, and I agree with you. In today's society, people are expected to be a certain way, and the bar for how we're supposed to be has been raised drastically. Take occupations, for example. If two guys want to get a part-time job at Gap, and one guy is wearing a button down shirt while the other is wearing a black t-shirt, it's almost a safe bet to assume that upon turning in the application, the worker receiving the application will have a quick chat with the guy wearing the button down shirt. People are basically being told by society that they have to be a certain way, which pretty much throws the whole freedom of expression thing down the toilet.

At the end of the day, everyone has the same ability and the same potential. Everyone can accomplish greatness. Granted not everyone takes advantage of their strengths and what they can do, but that still doesn't mean that only a select few are capable of doing great things. But thanks to stereotypes and generalizations, people are blinded to these things.

The world has become more corrupt with time. It's a very disappointing ordeal. I can really go on and on.
