Question yourself.

[Devourment]

Think about it.

[Txum_kali'weya]

humanity.

the fear of being unaccepted by people who you don't know keeping you from doing anything.

If anything I look around and think far too often.

I think this is the main reason for why people can't be so open. Id like a good conversation on a bus for once.

[Aquaplant]

I could use some glassy-eyed automation in my life, if only to to get something done, but then again there's no point. And people are never going to be open, because of the fear of being ridiculed and judged, and no matter how much people talk about tolerance and understanding, it still always boils down to that simple fact.

We can always say that we stand behind our pretty, noble ideals, but even the most wonderful ideals will never hope to change the human nature.

[Human No More]

That xkcd comic always makes me smile...

Unfortunately, for everyone who DOES think like that, there are a load who don't, who never think past themselves, past work, or money.

*Sigh* Ain't it sad? Lots of sheeple might actually be free-thinkers in sheep's clothing. It very well could be true that there are more people who think like we do than we believe, it's just that they are afraid to admit their true thoughts and feelings. Imagine how much better the world would be if people embraced their true feelings, and were open and proactive.

My attitude towards humanity has changed darastically, and how I act too... I go around thinking that same thing, people are probably looking at everyone else and thinking, "people need to open up more" ect. ect. thats why I throw people a smile and the peace symbol everytime I make eye contact with someone, I go around thinking, "who cares what others think of me? Am I enjoying myself? Yea!"

I think more people truly have their eyes opened than we think, they just need to show it

Individuals are smart; the masses are stupid.

That's a memo.

The "mob mentality" of humanity, when you think about it, is really dumb. I mean, you could sit down 50 theoretical physicists in a closed room; and when you come back an hour later, it would be a boxing match.

Replace those physicists with street-side teens, and you wouldn't have to leave for more than 2-3 minutes.

There is a lot of truth to this. I think that it is the case that many people are afraid to open up. I admit that I when I am waiting at the bus stop, I'm normally praying my morning prayers so I am thinking about that and nothing more but once I am finished, it would be nice to talk to someone but everyone on the bus, day after day, are quiet. Hardly anyone says hi or anything. I know, it starts with me. I need to make more of an effort. I admit that I am naturally shy in person and being on a bus is no exception .
