We live in a time of comparatives and superlatives: whose or who is bigger, better, faster, more expensive, richer/poorer, weaker/stronger, but you know, I haven’t been seeing it that way.  No, I see things more equally: I see us all the same—no one better or worse.—for me, life just seems to fit me BETTER this way.  Doesn't life look HOTTEST on me?

I understand--and not many see what I see.  :)

My day was a good day.  Thank you.  And your day, how was it?

Sorry, i meant totally different. I don't see what you see in your last message. That's our difference, but the next minute I'll forget about it.

BTW, how was your day, handwriter?

Yes, you are exactly right.  There are some who seem to get much joy from being angry and miserable and unhappy; some of them can even take offense or even become agitated when someone tries to get them to change their misery and self-destructive mood.  I try not to preach to people about being happy; I simply try to live as happy as I can trying to respect the mood choices of others.  And too, I don’t always go around laughing my head off like some crazy person.  J

 About not focusing on people differences, it's an attitude of an optimist and I  agree on that. Just for the sake of life and good cheer that an optimist can't live without. As he always shines! But it's not for free. Some people will be jelous of it and even can make fun of your shining personality. Just because they focus on differences.

I see and understand what you are seeing when you don’t see us as being the same.  What I see is that we all have feelings—yes, even those ‘criminals’ that you seem to keep seeing.  We all have dreams; we all love and hate; we all feel joy and sorrow; we all laugh and we all cry.  And no… no one under our sun is perfect: we all have failures and disappointments; we all have hurt someone.  When I say that we are all the same, I mean to say that I don’t spend my life looking for our differences but rather our likenesses.  I know that some people have experienced much hurt at the hands of others of which there is no excuse—no justifiable reason, but I will not allow myself focus on that or to allow myself to think that I am any more ‘righteous’ or holy than anyone else.   I see us all the same—I see our likeness and not our differences.

I don't see us all the same. If it was so simple, every one would love the same girl. We're all differnet. Criminals click with criminals. Rich with rich, poor with poor. Common interests, language, background distingish people by drawing them more closer to each other.

 Different moral standards. One is honest another is a conman. One is humble another is a show off. One is loving another one is hating. One has a big heart, another one has just a stone! And that is the endless list.
