Epiphany

when I speak with like minded people

I do have moments of epiphany

Although at times not memorable ones

But when I talk to people who's views are juxtaposed to mine

I seem to learn not only about them

But about myself as well

This is why we should be able to

Without being uncivil

Or making/taking things personal

We should be able to discuss between each other

About ALL things

Is not discourse the greatest philosophical achievement possible

Love heals

I've done it

For myself

And not purposely or with that intention

For others

Sometimes it's as little as a look

A kindness

A word

A hug

A moment of love passed between people

And if you don't believe me

Recall for yourself

The last moment

You received a hug from someone offering nothing but love

And asking nothing in return

And feeling that power flow within you

The power of love

Wish that we lived in a world

Where those kind of hugs were easier to get than drugs

*******

Create the world you want to see???

Right???

Maybe I should be that kind of person that goes around hugging everyone

Could I go from this severe (almost debilitating*) social anxiety to that

Food for thought


************************

(*not in abnormal sense

No more so than others perhaps

Where I may be less bold in some aspects (like not joining protests)

Or going to some social gatherings

I may be more bold in others

It probably stops me from just as many things

I wish to do (at some point)

as not having enough money does

Nah

Probably not having enough money wins

Hands down

Of course this all said out of a form of being proactive to letigiousnous and combative people. Why I have to feel the need to explain myself to the point of stupidity is beyond me sometimes. Those that need it usually don't get it anyway.
