Something I wrote

[DarkAsmodeous]

I haev omitted some personal information for safety reasons

Hello, I am Dylan Miller, -------------------------------------, but that does not make you know me.

To see me is to apply your labels, you see the Grateful Dead on my shirt, you see me to be a hippy. You see Lenin on my pin, you see me to be communist. You take in my height and features; you can tell I am young. You make your assumptions and your judgments, your opinions and your prejudices. The longer you look the more you think you know me, but you do not.

To speak with me is to hear my opinions, to question, argue and agree with them. To argue with me is to make me an enemy or a friend, a confident or an outsider. To listen to me is to be offended and insulted, praised and exalted, but you still do not know me.

To befriend me is to learn my quirks and recognize my distinct pride in being unique. To be a part of my life is to live in an environment that not longer follows quite the same rules, but you still do not know me.

To know me, you need not take all the steps listed here, you need only let me define myself for you. You must not tolerate me, allow yourself to see me for what I am, Love me or hate me, but do not make me what I am not. I am my own person, and not even I can tell you who I am, only you can do that.

yeah well even we don't all know ourselves too well so... hrug:
but I guess it is good... personally i never bother writing this kind of thing...

[Cogidubnus]

Did you hide some irony there at the end? I see a double meaning!

[DarkAsmodeous]

Too be honest there are many meanings at the end, this is basicly the culmination of a lot of my problems with society and people in general in relation to me.

Rather than rant about unrelated issues, I decided to deal with who I am, something noone will put up their walls when confronted with, it is a good medium for making a point.

very true...

come to think of it I think we all think of that sometimes but not all put it into words, though you've put it in a way that can mean quite a few things :goodjob:

[Psychotic]

As true as the point of this fine work of yours is, it is wishing for perfection in people and the way they communicate and see each other. But even if there is no perfection (infinity of progress and all that) what else can we do, but chase that hazy dream of our in order to make ourselves better. hrug:

My point is that we are currently too stupid, for a lack of a better word, to understand, know or truly tolerate the uniqueness of others or ours for that matter.

And ofcourse...

and also remember, that, like snow-flakes, you will eventually blend in with everyone else and lose some individuality, in some way, shape, or form...
