Random Thoughts...
There was just something about today which seemed to bring a noticeable fact to my attention. It's not that I never noticed it before; I just never really thought anything of it before.
There are a lot of beautiful people in the city, and by beautiful I mean the people that the general population would deem attractive by today’s societal standards. Not that these standards should make up our minds for us, but it does seem to sadly be the way the world works. Then again there are a lot of other people out there who are just as beautiful, but sometimes you just have to gather the beauty from other aspects of them in order to fully see it.....but anyway, in most populations that are mainly not in such large cities the aforementioned "beautiful people" would begin pairing off and forming strong relationships and eventually form beautiful families. Now these families may or may not be families forever, but they are families nonetheless at least at one point in time in their lives, perhaps more.
....but here in this grand city of ours (or mine for those of you who are not in nyc), it's come to my attention that there are more unattached members of our society. And by unattached I do not mean that they are not touching the ground, because rarely do i see these people jump, but I mean that they never went off and formed relationships and such of any sort.
Now I know this is a city where success is often sought before happiness. But maybe success is often mistaken for happiness until it may be too late, and even if its not too late maybe they have no will to try for fear of it being too late. Or maybe even once they found happiness in another, but gave it up for they thought that maybe they were getting in the way of their success that moment in time.
And that got me thinking on another note. What if someone finally felt happy and then there were suddenly given up on. What does that say about happiness? Now I know that two people may not find happiness in the same place. What if one of the two never does find happiness again?
...maybe there really isn’t someone meant for everyone. Maybe we really won't, in the end, be with who we're supposed to be- because we were never supposed to be with anyone in the first place. Maybe everything in life was aligned from our beginning and for some all that was aligned was their end. No present, no past, and no future. They come and they leave, without being noticed and without making a difference.
And what’s after that? Who's to say its all clouds with silver linings? That means that these people with no destination but final will never know happiness- they may know laughter and smiles-but happiness feels different, it must feel different.
"Did you know that there are more people alive now than have ever died?"
"What’s that say about reincarnation?"
