i'm not sure when or how it happened but i think kindness has been taken for granted....i never really liked it when people were put on this tremendous pedestal just for looking out for someone else. sometimes, and it happens more often than the cynics will testify to, people look out for others. and once in a rare while you will find some who will actually put others over themselves. i don't find this to be amazing or a testament to any great character in humans. at times, they see no other way. as it should be.
these past few days i have felt like i was climbing a mountain. sure it may seem like i've been through some laborious process but it's nothing like that. i honestly feel like i've been reaching for some greater good, and getting closer and closer every day, especially these most recent of which i speak. i can tell you one thing....the view is getting more and more beautiful the higher i climb. one finds it almost spiritual to help others in need,and give without regard for themselves...this is why i don't consider kindness some great feat. sometimes i can feel myself collapsing within my heart for something. something....ahhh sometimes words can be so inadequate.
although i have all that a man could ask for, i am truly happy for what I am more so than what i've got.
'You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
we are ugly but we have the music."'
i pray for a repeat button that doesn't die on me, and for the words, music, and the message to never run out.
by the way, the subject....i'm not.
