Friendship

I've always been interested in making new friends all from over the world. I never really quite understood why the "me" needed to know such a large variety of people until I started observing the it.

Life is meaningless without relationship, the more one is related the more one feels alive. There no reason why this should not be true for the me also.

The me actually likes this feeling of being, of existence, of living. So being related achieves this. On the other side, the me also likes to observe and analyse others and try to decode their existence, personality and life pattern. Each person carries a long story, the me try to understand that story of each and everyone with whom it is related. A book is better understood when read from the beggining to the point where is has been written, not by starting from the 20th chapter. But a book can also be understood if it is known to have followed a same pattern and if only the key chapters are read.

It does not take much time to understand the personality of oneself. One's feelings are expressed through words, whether by listening to one in a conversation or reading what one has written, the essentials can be observed in the same way. Sometimes I have the impression that the me actually accumulates the knowledge of interesting personalities, those that are different from the common personalities of the mass. The mass as we know it, consists essentially of the same pattern, the same routine, the same type of person, the same problems, the same worries, etc. Out of the mass comes a few people who are otherwise inspired. Such a person is interesting to observe, the common one is so predictable. Though those who are otherwise inspired tend to follow the same pattern of the mass, they are very much different when observed deeper within. Today i've known a person who is otherwise inspired but who is at the same time stucked in the routine of the mass. Cebu seems to have its own otherwise inspired ones.

I believe that the story of one is the story of all. Nothing is new, no relationship problem is new, we are only the new ones experiencing it. What is happening to one in one's daily life, happens to many in the world. If one is part of the mass, one would surely follow the same pattern, the one set by society. However different one is inspired, one would eventually need to follow the mass in order to keep relating and integrated with it.

Enter the routine, but realise it, and know how to get out of it from time to time, if not forever...
