the universal human bond.

There are a number of shouldnt-be-ordinary but are-in-fact-just-that-things that create the universal bond amongst us [humans]. So if by chance you find your eyes piercing at someone because of your discontent with his/her: gender, color, religion, sexuality, dreams &desires, past decisions etc. do keep in mind you both:

  • have eaten something off the floor
  • have been paged over the intercom in a grocery and/or department store and had to walk shamefully to customer service
  • practiced aloud before sending an email, text, IM etc. just so you were sure that every word read exactly how you intended...and made corrections as you read.
  • read the return message aloud AFTER already reading it to yourself just to make sure you didn't miss something
  • saved that same message to use for later references.
  • had unholy thoughts in church
  • fabricated a story in your favor, knowing you were wrong; you just needed someone on your side
  • been disgusted with your own bodily functions
  • wanted to change your name
  • embellished on your "likes &dislikes" just to impress someone
  • examined your entire naked body in the mirror; &decided something needed to be bigger and/or smaller
  • stayed up waaay past your bedtime worrying about something you couldnt control
  • felt insufficient, unnecessary, &overlooked
  • cried.
  • tried. &still didnt understand
  • understood perfectly &got mad at yourself because of it
  • cared too much
  • didn't care too enough
  • had good intentions that came across brutally spiteful
  • lost, fell short, quit
  • regret
  • try...

Obviously, the list is endless [feel free to add in comment] but perhaps some light can be shed on our similarities- so that we can focus on what really matters.
