I was thinking < !signature-->Contemplating to myself And I came to realize That I live on a world I know nothing about Know nothing of others' lives Know nothing of experiences So complex I couldn't imagine The problems that don't imediatly affect me I brush off Even though I pretend to be concerned And think I really am.. I must not be Becuase I don't go out and do anything about it! I was thinking Like I usualy do When I'm alone and concerned with my own meager problems And I realized that I know nothing Of this whole wide world I'm living on Only of the one, centered around me The one I'm living in!

Glad to be the first to reply  Oh how I can relate. Good work Joy Jenny Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual. |

Joy- I can also relate to this. I have felt this way alot. There are so many tragedies in this world and every person goes through their own personal ones. But I no longer think that one's own problems are less harder than another's. There is nothing meager about the battles we all face day to day. Just be thankful for what you have and be willing to help another when you can. Sorry to ramble, this just touched me personally. It was lesson that I have had to learn. So, anyway, nice work. |

Thank you danni, I also feel this way. It is just sometimes I feel so selfish thinking about my problems and ignoring others who must have it much worse off. JOY |

Joy I too feel this way, and another way of looking at it is the world would go on happily without us, we make no difference to all those other lives. So I try to keep in touch with things via the news, and do what I can occasionally for the community. Little tokens can go such a long way. Well done At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

Really excellent, for me it is teh knowledge that I seek, but never seem to know enough. There is more out there, and the people are the key. |
