i think with every interaction and relationship i have, there's a certain role i take on. bare with me on the psycho-babble. at school our role is a student; we sit in class, take notes.... on occasion, take exams and at least do what is expected. this is true in all aspects of life, the boyfriend who sets aside time for his girl; the smoker who sets aside time for some candy =) ; the son who spends time with family; the circuit city employee that walks around and checks the fine ass walking in the door; the the rockstar who has to use the back door. or the friend that would split an eight dollar order of chicken nuggets, even though he's broke, so that his friend didn't have a heat stoke.
these roles are what define us.
they can destroy us as well. like the high school drop out that takes his role as a burnout and does what is expected of that role.
but what does matter are the roles that bring us together.
the roles that produce the greatest happiness in life are those that offer unconditional love. For some it's a new child, a new wife, your dog haha, a god or maybe a song that you haven't heard in a while and takes you back a few years. love is whats brings us together. it breaks down our walls so that we may set aside our differences and put acceptance into our hearts.
it may sound very idealistic, but i'm not asking people to repent. stay who you are, if that is what makes you happy. just ask yourself what roles in my life bring me the greatest fulfillment? from every psychology class i have ever taken, a universal theme comes to me at the end of the semester. the greatest knowledge a person can have is that of himself. may be a quote but i'm not sure.
think about it; a life lived with hatred and mistrust will only leave you angry and alone. that is all.
