Everywhere I look, People making Connections

[kuh-nek-shuhn] :- the state of being connected

Like Dexter says, ‘Everywhere I look, people are making connections…’ friendly, romantic, whatever! Human connection just leads to messy emotions, attachment, jealousy and complications.

My previous post Re: Are You just the Next Piece of Art, is so true! I was wondering around my local shopping mall this morning, watching everyone. Either people are together in pairs or groups. If they’re walking alone, chances are they’re checking people out wishing they could be connected with them. I won’t lie, I wonder around also looking at everyone.. and I notice everyone.
Those people that really stand out to me, well yes I get the emotional desire to know them better and become ‘attached’…. but then it hits me, ‘is that what I really want from that person’, coz all I know about them is what they look like. The answer?!? No!!!! Coz actually I don’t want anything from that person… I don’t even know them! I could let myself go with my thoughts, but that just leads to more messy complications.

Lets not even go further, its simple… they’re pretty, they’re nice to look at, they’re art…. but what are the odds that they will ever meet my most basic of standards… yes I know, its sad to say that I have such standards, but these are not standards I will ever bend on… there are, at the end of the day, only two!!! Two standards which control my life, two standards which make me, Me!

The ‘art pieces’ that attract my attention, 9 out of 10 times don’t meet either of the two criteria and thus… why bother?! Why Bother?!

Why Bother?! Coz I maybe pleasantly surprised!!! Coz one day maybe that one ‘art piece’ turns out to be the perfect one! The one that maybe, just maybe I could spend the rest of my life with!!! Thus we must allow ourselves to go out and make those messy connections. Hey, maybe the one messy connection in fact introduces you to ‘the’ one!!!

Who knows, this is life, and we’re living it right now… so go take that risk!!!
