yin and yang. there is no inside without an outside. no outside without an inside. not only is the point that we are all connected, but you are not so much better or worse off than the person next to you. you are not that much better than the guy who can't get his shizzizit together. and you are not that much worse than the person who appears to be living 'the good life.' you're just not so different as it may seem. we all have bones and blood cells and brain cells (well most of us) and childhoods (of some kind or another) and we were all born from two human beings who decided to put their egg and sperm together in some sort of way. we're not that different. it's just that some people's paths meandered more than others in various directions and if your path and genetic makeup had meandered that way too, you might be up the same shizzzit/heavensent creek so... step down off the high horse of the ego and mingle awhile. it's probably more fun down there anyhow.
