Five feet away.


Have you ever sat in your car alone and looked around to the other drivers and realized, they aren't that far away from you. And let's just say it's about five feet. Here is a stranger living a different life, going somewhere you aren't and yet they are five feet away from you at the stop light. And when we do realize those around us, do we ever stop and think, I never notice those around me. I feel as if we spend most of our days doing what we feel needs to be done. But we don't take the time to think those that are right next to us. It seems crazy really. Here are these human beings right next to us, living lives in the same city as we are and we couldn't care less. Well guess what it's time for a reality check. We have every reason to care about those around us. They affect our lives. If they are kind they gives to those around us that are in need or maybe we are the ones in need and they give to us. If they sick with a mental illness and have uncontrollable dark thoughts, they could be the murderer in our town. Whomever those around us are we need to be kind to them. We need to stop giving those around us a reason to hate us or talk bad about us. We need to rise to the occasion and pray for them. Their behavior could change our lives. Our love towards others can change many things. I think that when we are in our cars, when we are in public, even when we are home. We need to think and pray for those next to us. Whether that be in the next room, the car over, or the person beside us on the bench. And maybe we could even open up and get to the people next to us better. Maybe we can being positive changes into the world. Just maybe our presence on the Earth can have meaning. But it's up to each and everyone of us to make that decision. So what's yours?
