LISTENING TO: "Something To Believe In"
by Aqualung
You talk too much.
Maybe that's your way
Of breaking up the silence
That fills you up.
It seems like everyone want to be special, everyone want to leave a mark in this world. Sometimes, the desire to be great is so strong that we fail to see what's really important. I've met a lot of people that seem to already think highly of themselves and I admit that I used to be - no wait - I still am one of them. There's nothing wrong with that, I guess. What's wrong is if that desire blurs our perception of things that should be valued the most.
But I shouldn't be talking of what's right or wrong because I don't think there's a definite line between the two. Bear with me, I'll make sense in a while...
I used to hang out with this group of people and I used to feel so insecure and intimidated with each one of them because I felt like I wasn't worth their company. They just seemed like they were a class above me. But the more that I went out with them, the more I realized that they were no different from me and from everyone else. They contradicted themselves a whole lot. Most of them claim to have an opinion on something but when time calls for them to fight for their opinion, they forget who they are fighting for. They would make up some sort of speech and would seem so passionate in delivering them but then you mix them with the people they claim they're fighting for and they waste no time in crushing those people's pride and dignity. I don't think they do this deliberately. They try to be the best that they can be and so they follow a certain pattern of what they think could lead them to become the person they think most ideal. But by trying so hard to be generous, they became, non-deliberately, too selfish.
I guess, sometimes, we lose our way in this world by trying to find it in the first place.
