so i find myself more and more uninterested in the things people talk about. before you call me a self-absorbed jerk, hear me out. say we find ourselves in a room full of hmm just to make it easy lets say 10 people. it is you, me, and another 10. if we went around and both talked to everyone for 5-10 minutes each, what would we come away with? would we be better off? would you have learned anything from that other person? PROBABLY NOT. you would talk about school and the weather and jobs. that sort of thing. i'm not saying those things aren't important... okay actually i AM saying those things are not important because in the grand scheme of things, WHO CARES? AND WHO REMEMBERS THAT STUFF? come back a week later and you'll have all their schools and jobs messed up and intertwined. (if it was me i'd probably have their names pretty messed up too).. so you see.. i'm VERY uninterested in what people talk about these days.. i am EXTREMELY interested in what everyone is NOT saying!! get it?
i am DONE talking about nothing. aren't you tired of it? you do it to. i know you. stop asking the wrong questions. start asking the right ones. what are the right ones? well that i can't really give away. its top secret. but on the real - are we more concerned about someones job or somebody's current state in their life?? if you were honest with yourself... you would probably.. not admittedly, but probably be thinking "i don't even care about them in general. who are they to me?" truth is they are who you choose them to be. do you want them to be somebody? do you want to give their life meaning in relevance to yours? or do you want to keep them as a nobody? and potentially miss bringing and impact or receiving an impact on your own life? switchfoot put it best when they said to [stop chasing] "empty conversations filled with empty words".
