Me! Me! Me!

The only person who is as concerned about you, is you.

Children, ages 2-7, are very egocentric. If they believe in something, then you must too. They cannot grasp the idea that anyone is different from them. They also believe that "their viewpoints are instrumental to all people."

But, it doesn't end there, now does it?

Who is the most important person to you?
Yourself. It always is.


Unfortunately, this world doesn't revolve around us. If it did, I would image that more than a few people would be quite pleased. Ecstatic even.

What would you feel?

I know that I would be jumping up and down ceilings doing my happy smile and jump and dance and squealing. =)

Today, whilst on the bus to church, I asked my boyfriend, "How come I'm so mean now?" My amazing boyfriend, let's call him 149, then told me, "It's because you're realizing the harsh realities of the world." He's absolutely right.
At a retreat once, we played a game where we had to write one word to describe another person in the room. A close friend of ours, VADS, wrote that I'm an idealist. At the time, I knew that the word was directed towards me, but I haven't really thought about it until today.
I am an idealist and an optimistic person. I yearn for books and movies to have the fabulous ending that I envisioned since the beginning. However, I also get surprised when the directors and authors offer a better conclusion than I have thought of.

It always brings a smile to my heart when that happens.
To know that although I want to the ruler of my life and to script my own paths, God has a masterpiece to my amateur sketches.

It would also be nice, however, if people learned manners, how to be polite, and responsible for their actions. So that the rest of the world, all 7 billion of us, will have a better day. Yourself included. =P

Thank you, oh so much. =D
