Oh Yes

We're so silly, us humans, so silly. Laughable.

Cryable, too.

Shall I expound? Okay, I shall, but just a little.

Working as a 4th grade teacher I have the opportunity to witness first hand human drama every day, and while I can dismiss my students' outcries for broken friendships and declarations of dislike for fellow classmates as childish behavior, I've come to realize that I am much more like my students emotionally than I'd like to be. Maybe it's just me and I'm emotionally retarded, and didn't develop past the elementary school level, but I think it might be more than that. We humans, in general, enjoy drama in our lives. Or maybe it's that some of us are so reactionary to what goes around us in life. There is that minority of folks out there who have better things to do with themselves than be reactive to everything they experience, but they are few. Though I think responding to things around us is necessary, the majority of us don't react in any way that is constructive. Rather we usually just vent and wollop in our own stew of emotions and circumstances.

I thought I was getting somewhere, but I'll need some more time to think it through. Good night.
