i was walking to breakfast listening to ben harper when i had a revelation. i kinda raised up my opinion of everyone around me. ive had a complex since i was little about thinking im somehow special and better than everybody, kinda as an exuse for being different, and strengthened by my parents, cuz when i was teased a lot when i was little my parents would make me feel better by saying im just smarter than people and thats why they people dont understand me. i still had this complex and still will have it for a while, but ive been concioius of it and trying to get rid of it since i got to highschool, and today i relised that instead of lowering myself to think of myself as equal to others, why not just raise everyone else to the high opinion that i hold fo myself? why should i concentrate on the kinship i share with people through our common vices when i can concentrate on the connection we have through our common wishes for greatness, everyone's secret wish for peace and utopia. lets all start making a utopia on earth guys...
starting with the way we treat eachother.
