Sometimes I talk about the kind of qualities I respect and would like to see in more people, or in someone I love.
I think I enjoy talking about this in some kind of strange idea that, maybe, if I talk about these qualities I'll start seeing them more.
"You know, I like nice, sweet people, but a lot of the time they're hard to talk to about deeper things. And people who are thinkers, well usually they're just really cynical and hard to laugh with. If only I could find a nice balance, huh?"
You know, that kind of thing.
And I guess another part of it is that it's harder to find something you aren't looking for. Say you see a glass bead, but you ain't lookin' for it. It'll pass right out of your mind. But one day, you find you're looking for a glass ball, and THEN you see it, or remember having seen it.
I guess that's the idea.
Plus, in thinking about qualities I'd hope for in others, I'm also setting a standard for myself. I expect nothing out of people that I don't expect in myself.
Yeah man. For some reason I wanted to write that. It's the most journally live-journal I've ever made!
