What is it about human nature or about the individual that makes us feel the need to be special?
I walk around in the streets to work or buying my boss' lunch and I smile at random people or just say 'hi'. When they smile back at me I get a warm fuzzy feeling inside and I think "I just made their day." Getting a bright smile from a random stranger on a hard day must be uplifting, right? But what makes one single person special from any other to makes anyone else's day.
Why is it worth it to make someones day? There are millions of someones out there who wouldn't care in the slightest if I were smiling at a lamp post.
I'm ranting and not making sense.
What I'm trying to say is, who am I to think that I can change the world? Why do I still believe in hope and goodness and change when there is so much to disprove it each day? Why am I such a firm believer in living your dreams?

What I'm trying to say is; who is anyone to think that they are special over anyone else, and therefore that they deserve to be treated with respect, or that they deserve effort.
Who is anyone to say that they deserve to be treated better, or that they WANT better. If you have good, why would you be so selfish as to want better? If you have a job that pays you enough to break even each month, why would you want more, to be able to save up and buy more earthly things? If you are in a relationship, why would you want to receive special treatment when your being treated just fine already. What is it about the human nature that makes us want and want. Why is good not good enough?
