"the towers are burning"

Some people I come across, or who have met me, often get the impression that I have a side to myself that is merciless, extreme or overly idealist. I think a lot. I'm actually a lot more open-minded than some people may think and I try to re-examine my view from as high a bird's eye as I can manage to make sure I am seeing things clearly.
I rarely see in black and white, although my vision of civilization is a clear one. There are those for which other living things are secondary to their existence. It is not a very difficult thing to show consideration for others. Although an alarmingly large number of individuals in society seem incapable of this humane task.
All of us hurt someone on occasion and it is not a pleasant thing. Often you lose touch with an old friend, who really misses you and wonders why you don't call anymore. Or maybe you made fun of a song or film that was one of the most meaningful parts of someone's memory, right in front of them. However there is a line that a rational and well-grounded person can be called upon to draw. Some people have lost touch with other's ability to feel pain and serve no purpose to our society. Those rational and well-minded people are what the world of tomorrow needs.
There are also those who are so wrapped up in their indoctrinated idea of freedom and liberty that they refuse submission before any entity, be it in the form for a woman, man, government, idea or just a feeling. If you serve nothing, you are a mere consumer. There are forces stronger than you, wiser than you, more graceful and unfathomable.
To see oneself reflected in another's eyes is a vision into a future of radiance, strength and propinquity.
