Today i had an interesting revelation.
Well, at least that's what i would like to call it.

I was working in the mall, and i was sitting down and observing all of the customers that came into the store. The main thing that i saw were mothers and daughers coming in and purchasing items. I was helping this one lady that was with her younger daughter, and she would buy anything that her daughter asked for. And then i kept thinking to myself "I wonder if they really even know eachother?" It seemed like their relationship was merely based on physical items, rather than communication, and understanding. After the mother bought the daughter the items, she was done with her. They didn't even speak to eachother. It just seemed sad to me. Then, i realized, well how many people actually sit and talk to eachother now-a-days without some sort of distraction. People use distractions to avoid getting personal. Just like when you sit with your family, and watch the simpsons, (well i guess that's what i do) and you don't speak to eachother at all, because everyone is "to into the program." I don't even believe that anyone cares that much about the show, they just want to say that they have had some sort of bonding experience, without the time and effort of bonding. I just seems sad to me. Someone you call your best friend, your boyfriend/girlfriend, even your mom, you probably don't know very well. I guess you can't know everything about someone. Because no matter how much time you spend with the person, their is always something their thinking/feeling that you'll never know.

I'm done.
