Myself, My Fantasy…
Todays Horoscope told me to share, “a little of myself, a little of my fantasy.”
There are so many…where do I begin?
A little about myself…
Let me start by saying, that, I don’t really care for most people. Nothing personal. Most of us were not meant to live in groups. We don’t play well with others. Myself included.
Of the few people that I consider friends, the two that we spend the most time with, are the polar opposite of us.
If the entire world were about, 100 things. We would only agree on 1 of those things. Maybe 2, maybe. ( I wont say, who’s who)
- Right wing Republican - Intentionally unaffiliated.
- NRA, gun lover - Anti weapon of most kinds
- Country - Rock alternative
- Global Warming - Political Propaganda
- Nascar - Formula 1
- Foie Gras - Pigs Feet
Now, I normally don’t give much time to people I have nothing in common with. In this case, work brought us all together. Their behavior is what makes us friends.
These two people, so vastly different from ourselves, are two of the nicest, I’ve ever met. They’re polite(to a point). They’re honest, trust worthy, and straight forward. They’re open, kind and giving.
Now, quite honestly, what more do we need to know about another person than those things?
We don’t see eye to eye. We are able to talk about our different view points in a rational, intelligent conversation. We can agree to disagree. We don’t need to make the other change their mind. We can joke and be serious. We can share good meals and swap stories of life and love. We can learn from one another.
At the end of the day we all want the same things. Family, Love, Peace, Security…
A little of my fantasy…
We can get along with, and be friends with, people that are different than we are. We can live our lives, as well as let everyone else live their lives. We can all live separately, together. What makes us think, that we need to make everyone else, see the world through our views?
My point is…if I can be friends with some one so vastly different than myself, we all can. So, that’s my fantasy. An old cliché…“Live, and let Live”.
