The Appreciation
I think I want this blog to be good and my posts beautiful and that holds me back. You'd think that this would increase the quality of the blog, but no. I think it kills the creativity. We need more spontaneity here. Yes, that's what we need. And who needs a topic anyway?
Hundreds of millions of people walk pass each other every day and they don't even look at each other's faces. I always think about some far-fetched, distopian, sci-fi type scenarios. Like you were alone on the Earth or another planet for a long long time and at last you saw this person from afar! What would your reaction be? Wouldn't you just run to him and give him a big hug? I know I would. Then why we don't feel that way about each other? Because there're people everywhere. And when we have something for a while, we tend to take it for granted. That's our nature I guess. We don't think about it, don't think how life would be if we didn't have it. So maybe all those accidents, discomforts, loses weren't completely bad after all... They take something from us and we don't like it. It's not pleasant, I know. But isn't there an opportunity in them to let us appreciate what we have, who we have? I learned my lesson the hard way, about appreciating some moment. I try not to do the same mistake again. But then again, we humans are very odd creatures. We tend to forget rather easily.
...
Someone once told me: "there's an old grandpa sitting inside you" which was an accurate picture of my personality. Most of the time I prefer the company of loneliness to that of other people. However, this doesn't mean that I don't like them, it's just the way I am. But! There are some people I can't get enough of. And somehow something always separates us, before I can say it was enough. Maybe it's for the best... So that I can appreciate having them in my life.
...
I feel like I should write more. But what to write...? About appreciation maybe? What other things that we have, but don't appreciate? Because we can't always afford waiting to lose something first to start appreciating it. Our lives, for example. Or loved ones... Some opportunities... Any old man can lecture you about the value of youth, or having legs that can actually carry your body up the stairs. But we prefer to learn things the hard way. Any of us will be devastated if we lost someone we love, but we don't really act befitting to that love.
For example, men forget how wonderful it is to have a woman in their lives that they can whisper love words to. They start treating their wives like it's an ordinary thing to have them in the house. What an amazing thing to have a woman in your life that walks your house, sits in the rooms, touches the curtains and cooks you delicious meals! What a wonderful thing to have a wife that makes you breakfast! And men be like "of course, it's their duty!" Hmm...
