One among many

I hope everyones thanksgiving was awesome, because I know I had a pretty decent one. Over break I was hanging out with my friends and we started talking about how many people we see in just one day that we will never see again in our lives. I was relatively quiet and just took most of their opinions in and I have since formed an opinion. You know we don't know. Take a walk down main street St. Charles and just look around at the people that you will never see again. Who knows though, you might actually see them again sometime. It just really put in perspective for me just how small I am in Just the world, let alone the whole universe.

This brings up another question. How are we supposed to help serve the world if we are merely a little speck? I came to this: Just be a good person and do whatever you can to help the people you encouter everday. Let the person merge in front of you on the highway. Hold that door for the stranger at the gas station. I can't put it any better than this: (this might be kind of cliche) treat your neighbor how you would like to be treated. And one more thing. I don't know where this whole you got to do something to get something attitude came from but lets squash it. I am daring you to be that nice person that you encounter on the streets.

Let's help make our surroundings a better place,

I really enjoyed reading this. "Let that person merge in front of you on the highway"--- Amen to that.
