E Pluribus Unum

Almost 7 billion people on earth... Think about it. 7 billion. And each of those is as unique as the fingerprints on their palms. 7 billion differences. 7 billion psychos, because I believe we are all potentially crazy, and 7 billion geniuses because I believe we are all potentially brilliant.

So, E pluribus Unum, Out of Many, one.... How do we as human beings differentiate one person from the next, form long standing bonds and form antagonistic relationships to the point where people can't be without someone or totally hate each other? E pluribus Unum. There is no equal distribution of love or attention even between a mother and her children, there will always be a favorite, E pluribus Unum. Even the level of hate or loathing between you and your foes is different, some are tolerable some are not. E pluribus unum.

So where am I going with this? Wait... I just remembered something. I have no enemies. True. I might dislike some people but I have a big heart and I don't keep grudges... Hell I even talk to my exes...ok except one. This didn't come naturally but it was born on the day I heard a sermon by Nervous Mumba, awesome preacher, crappy politician. The title of his sermon was 'love your enemy'. Just know that at the end of that church service I became tolerant.

Crap. Now I can't remember what was really on my mind. But I think my point is, we make choices because we pick out the best in the many we come across or pick out what we like out of them and decide we can tolerate the rest. Even when you pick a girl or a guy to date or marry you pick The One Out Of The Many. I am not saying that the one out of the many is always the best but that's what you have set your eyes on.

So then why do people question other peoples actions or choices? Puzzles me really. Just because you like pink doesn't mean we should all like it. Right? Damn right! Wait yet again!! Don't get me wrong and say whatever choice you make is correct. There are some universally accepted choices, like being gay is wrong... Breaking the law is wrong and so on. And we will all agree on a certain universal beauty, ugliness, nice smell and so on.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I have made my choices over the past years choosing girlfriend, friends, wife... Out of the many I chose....
