People
people all need in the same way
they need human interaction
acceptance
affection
the need to be needed
needs that can only be filled
by

-people-

So
why is it
that in a world filled with
millions and millions of...

-other people-

are those things so hard to find?
Why?
are there so many who go

out of their way

to take those things away?
to show others that they
for some reason will give
loneliness
hurt
frustration and
ridicule
instead of sharing something good
like...
a smile?
a hug?
a helping hand?

It kind of makes you wonder...
in a world filled with
millions and millions of people
how many of them...
really are...

people?

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

I wonder that too...then a hurricane hits and I am left smiling. If it's only at the worst when people are at their best, I can live with that, I guess.

Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt write.
I often wonder myself, why some find what they need, and others do not. Some people learn early in life how to shut themselves off from those who would willingly give them what they need, and it's hard to pinpoint why that happens.
Others who might have been so thoroughly abused/neglected/rejected at an early age sometimes expect nothing, and give the same in return.
