Why is it that when we are young we know everyone in our neighbourhood? We make friends with every other kid on our street so we have someone to hang out with, something to do? But when we grow up & we’re smarter, better communicators & know so much more of the world we are lost in our own neighbourhood? We don’t know the names of the family across the street or even the couple next door? The world is so strange and anti-social and closed off. Imagine how much good it could do if we still knew all our neighbours, if we still spent all day outside playing with the other kids?

What is this obsession people have with “being somebody”? Don’t they realize that you are “somebody” just by existing? That’s all there is to it- exist. If you continue to draw breath, you are somebody. Congratulations.
