alexjuice Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I've come to realize that I have a lot of things in common with many of my co-habitants of this time and place. This realization has been surprising to me because I thought that religious and poltical beliefs as well as demographic factors would make it almost impossible to really see eye to eye with a large community of diverse people. However I have been very much in surprise at how wrong my original beliefs have proven themselves to be. It seems that no matter the gender or politics or whathaveyou that most of the people with whom I share this time and place value the exact same things that I do. Specifically I've found a deep seated dissatisfaction with manipulations and dishonesty a tremendous value for working and being fulfilled and industrious and also compassion to one's fellows and generally the over riding belief that spiritual, bodily and emotional health should be valued and pursued... Actually, I am keeping the list brief to avoid overkill. The simple fact is that I feel much more connected than ever before even though i am physically very separated at present. I am pretty happy to see all of these people who are looking for many of the same things that I am.

Everybody's moving, if they ain't already there Everybody's got to move somewhere Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow Things should start to get interesting right about now." - Zimmerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
