001. a day in the life...

Hey. It's just me. We all have days that make up our lives. The question is what are we supposed to do with those days. And if you are a celebrity, everyone is always dying to know what you do everyday in what seems to be a glamorous life. But, have you ever thought about what a day in the life is like for the man walking down the street or your old friend from high school or that girl you met in line at the cash register last week? As rude as this may sound, we are all, in one way or another, selfish. If someone isn't famous or doesn't have an immediate connection to our lives, we honestly do not seem to care about other people around us.


I've thought about this concept for awhile now. Why don't we care about other people? I guess that question can't be answered with just one answer. It's really based on our own personality and upbringing. I know that my parents used to always say, "If it's not your kid then don't worry about it" if they saw a kid misbehaving and the parent wasn't doing anything to stop the bad behavior. In a way, that's a good motto I guess.


I'm not saying that we have to worry about everyone we come in contact with. I'm just saying that maybe we all need to stop only caring about ourselves, and begin to care about those we share our days in our lives with. I think that Matthew West in his song, "My Own Little World"-
           What if there’s a bigger picture?
                  What if I’m missing out?
                  What if there’s a greater purpose
                  I could be living right now?
                 Outside my own little world

If that seems like you, take a listen to the rest of the song here. You may not have the same opinion I do but hey, it's just me.
