"Be the one who nurtures and builds. Be the one
who has an understanding and a forgiving heart
one who looks for the best in people. Leave people
better than you found them."
Marvin J. Ashton
When I sit surrounded by people I don't know very well, my imagination tends to seek an image as to who they are trying not to be. Words are thrown out into conversation whether or not they are applicable to the subject at hand. It is as though no one is listening, just spewing words.
Interjections clash against each other breaking the flow of conversation. I begin to wonder if they are playing a game with each one given an individual subject and they can reflect only about their given topic. These random words evaporate as know one present grasps them.
Bantering unnecessary words about makes me curious if any one is actually listening? There does not even seem to be spaces between responses. I no longer choose to be this way. I will not cast beautiful words into a jumbled arena. I would rather stop listening all together, to stop trying to be a flickering light in the midst of a collective dark splatter.
