one uncomprehending what another one finds unthinkable one unaware of what another one would spill blood over one obsessed by what goes by one unnoticed perspectives of extremes the outliers at either ends with all points in between rooted in our soils of origin fertilized by pollens of random and chaos seeds are sewn dust to dust we beg to differ draw lines of pain and agony between us because we are different Because we are different? Why, aren't we all? LGR6/13/13 |

To the extent that one would "spill blood over one obsessed by what goes by one unnoticed," is a warning I guess and taken as such. Sometimes we really look for that silver lining. ~*~ A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.-John Burroughs ~*~ |

Jerry, Uh, I don't quite understand the "warning" of which you refer. Thanks for the read and commenting. Lori  |

I'm sorry, Lori. I pretty much understood everything about the poem, but I guess I got carried away trying to analyze that line. ~*~ A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.-John Burroughs ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (06-14-2013 07:57 AM).] |

We are not as different as it seems, but we do hold value to what others refer to as valueless. Imagine a pet dying and the owner crying and everyone whispering it was just a pet, at the end of the day the owner invested feeling and came up with a loss, whilst those looking in just seem a pet that died and a replacement easy to find. We all have the ability to do the unthinkable, we all have the ability to turn a blind eye, we all ruin off the same emotions and feelings, its just what we invest them into what changes who we are. Enjoyed the read. RS |

Great write, dear Lori. Through our differences we are enriched. We use each other as mirrors where we can contemplate our own personality and receive inspiration for change and evolution. We are more connected than we might suspect. Thought provoking and well said. Margherita |

So true... Most people want and need the same exact things even if we put them in different forms "I'll tell you how the sun rose |

Morning Star, Thank you for stopping by with a comment. I'm delighted we seem to agree on being so much the same with which seems in reality just a pinch of differences. Lori |
