What do you think you're doing?
Interesting line, makes me think. Just think about that statement... "What do you think you're doing?" I know exactly what i'm doing and why I'm doing. But maybe my 'thinking' is off. Maybe my whole 'philosophy' is wrong. But hey, I'm the only person to tell myself I'm screwing up. Then again, who cares what anyone else's thinks unless it harms them. Right? I could just say only God can judge me, but that's a lie. We all have our own perspective at what's decent or right in this society. But in the end we're all islands, just hit by the waves that surround us. So I guess It's unavoidable. Something we deal with as people. Our plain eyes can never see the back of our head, Only another. We depend on others for the feedback but hate when we receive it in a negative light. The consequence of honesty is a riddle that we all must find the answer to. But let's not over analyze a simple set of words. It's just a simple question. What do you think you're doing?

I cannot agree that we are islands. I believe it can feel that way if we disconnect ourselves from one another. I think that it is difficult to let everyone know that people care about them. The population of the Earth just surpassed 7 BILLION! I am pretty sure that I won't be able to go around and tell all of the "islands" that they are not alone. It would be nice if people would go around the globe would do this for one another.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, I long ago learned that everyone either cares or wants to care. The ones who care probably will be fine. The ones who want to care but do not know how, if they keep looking they will probably find reasons to care. Those who give up will stay forever islands, not out of necessity but because of ill-informed choices. I think that loneliness feels bad for a reason. We are not supposed to want to accept it.
True or not - People who choose to stay lonely often do so because they are afraid that if they open up to others they could get hurt even worse?
When I say islands I mean a island that's just a mountain from the earth; I'm pretty sure you said that as well. I'm just trying to say we can feel alone, but really, we're always connected even if we don't want to be. Like we can feel so disconnected and feel like a island far away from everyone and so alone, but It's unavoidable to not be connected to other cultures, ethnicity's and religions because of the clear connection we share with every other human, it's something that forces us all to stay and relate to one another. Ever heard of someone in solitary confinement 24/7 loosing there mind? I think just that care, speech, the awareness that your there with them, good or bad, can keep people going.
