Why do people lie? Over react? and cause unneeded drama? Is it that their lives are just so unbelievably boring that they need to cause conflict in yours? There are so many things that people do that I cannot fathom to understand. How do you know when the lie is over? When all games are lost or won? Why did anyone begin playing in the first place...

Does it ever occur to you that things are NEVER are exactly how they seem? Because it's true. Everyday, I wake up and I put on an appearance. I go to school, and sit through four classes of the same bullshit with people who never really want to know anything about anyone. You pass by someone and they'll always ask "How are you?" But do they ever really want to know? And, am I ever going to stand there and take the time to say "You know what Bob, things really aren't going all too well right now.." by the time I say those words, Bob is running off in the opposite direction, scared and intimidated by raw emotions. Society has become so emotionless it sickens me. Love, affection.. where has it gone? and in it's place is lust and vacuity. 1 out of every 4 women are depressed and 1 of every 8 men... Have you ever taken the time to notice it? To maybe just smile at someone as you pass them on the sidewalk instead of look down and pretend they aren't even apparent to you, just like that piece of trash you just stepped on. Or hold the door open for the person behind you instead of just letting it slam in their face? No, these things may not get someone out of a depressive state of mind but for that one minute of feeling that someone has empathy or the littlest of compassion for them could help more than one might think... And it is also self-rewarding as well. There is a homeless man at the end of my street that I drive by everyday and everyday I may not give him something but I always let him know that he is recognized, be it with food, a conversation, or just a simple smile. People are delicate creatures. Treat them as you wanted to be treated, no matter who it is. Because you never know when you are going to be that person down on their luck or their life and need that one person to notice you, notice you are alive.
