Washing Machines

What do you consider funny? I laugh at everything but some people laugh at nothing at all. I think it's odd how someone else and I could think so differently about humor. I mean it's great that we are different but I find it 'funny' that people see things the way they do. I guess this doesn't just apply to what people laugh at but really it applies to everything. It is what makes us beautiful. If we were all exactly the same, life would mean nothing. I could die and it would mean nothing. But instead, we are different and quite frankly, everyone means something.

It is our downfalls that create greatness. Most would argue that this is false but I disagree. They mold us into who we are now. How we react and feel, how we think and see. I believe everyone has greatness inside of them. It is how we were created. Some never use it though. They waste it and in doing so, become a waste to society. You have to understand that greatness doesn't really mean one is good. In fact, it could mean quite the opposite. There were tyrants who possessed such greatness. This didn't make them good rulers, it simply made them powerful. Because it is those who use their greatness to throw themselves ahead that are recognized as anything more than a joke in life. The people who waste greatness, waste life.

Then there are those who cannot believe in themselves but truly see the beauty in others' mistakes, their missteps, and failures. These people are the most capable of compassion because they understand and realize others' needs. They see people the way people were meant to be seen. They understand greatness and power. But most of all, they are much more capable of helping others than most people are. All people fall. Those who know and understand that mistakes are beautiful don't encourage failure; they don't forgive time and time again. Their compassion is simply enough to help those who have fallen return to their feet.
