Do you ever wish you could look at the world through someone elses eyes? View things with their thoughts and their experiences. Think of how much you could learn if it was possible.... and if you only did with 5people, especially if they were of a different age, country, sex, SEXUALL PREFRENCE, religion or social status. Imagin how truly tolerant and understand of others you become.
Sometimes when I'm sitting, listing and watching others I think it should be mandatory. I sit in my gov. class and listin to the students bash gay's, litterly reffering to a formerly graduated cross dresser as "IT"-the teacher did nothing to stop it, no he actully reffered to this living,feeling human being as "IT" also.They said that every gay person should be put into another school, a school of their own, that gay's were just corrupting society [so in other words we should treat them the way Hitler treated the jew's??!!] It is times like thoes that I not only want to force them to live that unique individuals life, but I also want so bad to see it from THEIR point of view, to understand who-if there is a who-instilled these beliefs into them. I want to not feel so damned hypocritical for not tolerationg their intolerance.
I only half wish that we could all just agree but knowing that if we did I would hate it, as much as it annoys and angers me, I love the conflict,the anger, the pain, the fights, the beauty in all the chaos.If everyone were the same the would would be skating a little to close to that "ideal" world. And as attractive as the "perfect" world may seem at times, it would in fact be my living hell. The world needs varity, it makes things intresting, makes it worth living..... there is so much to see and learn, to take in and experience. So I guess in a way this IS a perfect world..... no, not perfect, perfect is to boring a word-but what other word can be used to describe it-perfection is such an ugly word, by saying that something is perfect means that it is done. Never changing, there is no room for growth.... no change.
I'v heard people say they feel so small standing next to the ocean but I feel so small and overwhelmed next to my thoughts and all the knowlege out there. I take pride in generally being able to see all sides of a situation, moral or belief, I see in mostly gray, but I can comprehend and understand the black and white. This tends to make it incredibly hard for me to say that something is truly wrong or truly right. There are just so many sides to everything, which I guess means that nobody is truly right or wrong.
And that thought can be completley liberating-"so no matter what I do, no matter how devious my act, I'm actully justified- on the flip side however it is utterly terrifying-I can't seem to begin to put my thought's and feelings [and there are MANY] behind this one into words... maybe you can.
I wholeheartedly wish that I could just get one thought out without immediatly finding and believing it's contradiction.

smile at the stupid, it confuses them.
I think I didn't get what I was trying to say across right..... I don't want to ONLY live through someone else's life..... I mean for like a week, live through them not only with their thoughts and feelings but your's as well.I would never trade my life and my conciness for anything.But I still think the idea of being some one else for a bit would give me a completley different perspective on things, like now, I don't feel I apreciate things enough, I don't appreciate being able to walk out side half naked smoking a ciggarett and being able to walk down the block to get cheap food at a fast food resturant.I take advantage of having a dish, power,running water... freedom of speech and choice. I think that if I could see life and live it though someone in a 3rd world country I would appreciate what I have more. I wouldn't bitch about some friend not calling me back within 5 miniutes of me leaving a message, or not being able to be out past 12am becuase my rents are over protective.
I know it's hard to think beyond my own littler personal box but I want to try as best I can.... I have hope that if I start maybe somebody else will follow by my example and try too. Why the hell not try to make the world a better place....
No I havn't ever stood up in class..... so many thoughts come to mind when all that's going on that I just get overwhelmed and can't speak.... I have that problem alot, my brain moves faster than my mouth can keep up, things come out wrong or not at all. But I do know that next time it happens I am going to say something.
Your not crazy, no crazier than I or the next person. Who can really define sane or normal man.

Always do what you want, and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

As far as the storm of thoughts and emotion when confronted with the inanley moronic, i find that for me at least thats the perfect time to stand up...it forces me to find the words..steal them from the air and fight with them..most of the time it comes out as a noise of anger...but there are the times where i find the words..and they carry every measure of thought and emotion i feel at the time...and that look on there face as the shadows of hypocracy cloud there eyes i can't even begin to describe that feeling of glory...it's on those days that i remember my hope..that maybe one of them actually listened to me not just heard...and maybe they will think about it next time they start running into the circular logic of hate...
but i do think i am crasy...not because of any silly textbook or doctorate on a wall...i think i am crasy because there are just some days where i really want to kill someone..but i think i am done with this little rant for the evening..moring...whatever...Keep thinking...it's refreshing to see,hmm funny, i would have thought that here of all places one would find more intellignt conversation...

There is a world inside of me that you may never see...
God how I do remember that feeling of being able to stand up, grab words from thin air, twist shit around, put things in such a way that they basiclly saw things my way or we came to a mutual understanding that we WEREN'T going to see eye to eye but again....... I feel dead inside. Sometimes I envy you and anyone else who can formulate a complete thought and also be able to communicate it, don't take it for granted........ I miss it something terrible.
If wanting to kill people is what you see as crazy then I'm a fuckin nutcase, and so are about half the population of earth. And as for the last comment the "funny I would have thought that here of all places one would find more intellegent conversation" your gonna have to spell that one out for me..... It's been a while since I'v slept and I just got back from work which as always was just degrating and fuckin spiffy.....

the problem with being better than everyone else is that it misleads people to think you're pretentious
