[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel: [QB] It's true. I don't exempt myself from that. There was a time (when I was about 4), when I could awe myself by the mere existence of the four people in my house. My parents and my sister would be off doing something, and I would think, "there are four different people here, each one of them doing different things, thinking different things, being ALIVE. Seeing, hearing, feeling, touching, experiencing things in their own little bubble of existence. And in the house next door, three more people. In the US, hundreds of millions. In the world, billions! Each of us going about our daily lives... How many of them are wondering the same thing I am? How many are hurt? How many are being loved? How many are happy? How many are sad?" It was an awesome feeling. I can't do that so well anymore. It's becoming difficult to attach a person with the result of a tragedy. I used to feel so much pain when I heard about an earthquake, or a tornado, or a hurricane, where hundreds of people died. For the same reasons I could feel awed by the company of four people. Thousands of sparks of life dissappearing in an instant. I would wonder, how many were going to do something special that day? How many were just going to do something normal? How many were young? How many were old? How many people close to them will they never speak to or hear or see or touch or love ever again? It breaks your heart to think like that. Which is probably why I don't do it anymore. [/QB][/QUOTE]
