I know it's a cliche but we live in a crazy / too wired world....

Everyone seems so wired and connected to each other, but are we really listening to one another? What ever happened to one-on-one communication? snail mail? I know that while the world gets increasingly globalized it;s shrinking... internet, email makes life so much more convenient and easier.... it's true. We do need the technology to survive, i guess it's part of human evolution. But shoudln't we need people more than technology to survive? Human-to-human interaction is something we all need in this world.... no matter who we are.

People need each other.... being alone works too, but as you find, not all the time. You will find the aching pain of loneliness seize you. You can even be in a room full of people, yet feel more alone than ever. I read a book once, White Oleander by Janet Fitch. One of the characters, the heroine's mother tells her " Lonelinless is the human condition, get used to it" I wonder how true that is.....

Having friends isn't about having massive amts of friends on facebook/ friendster/ myspace. It's about having REAL connections with people and really knowing them, and learning to love and accept each other's flaws. I mean, if we just learned to love our neighbour imagine what a more peaceful society it would be? I know it's hard to accept others so different from us, with different mindsets and values from us. But with God , prayer, love and hope we can. It doesn't have to be something big, just giving up your seat on a bus to someone who needs it more than you, holding a door for someone, helping someone who has dropped someone on the floor.

I'm not a prime example i know.... but i always seem to be the person who is there to make ppl feel better, whenever ppl ask me if they are fat/ ugly/ whatever else i always say no. I dunno, i just dun like it when ppl feel badly about themsleves,they shouldn't have to!!! not everyone can be super confident. I myself am not.... yes truthfully i have self-esteem issues, i sometimes feel inferior next to others, like my siblings .

But i guess, i am not them, i am me. ( which sounds cheesy, but hey i'm a cheesy person at times)
