Vision Into the Future?

It's not often that people can forget who hates who, and why he did that, and she did that, and who's at fault for what... But yesterday at Eric's party, it was just... great. Everyone (well, mostly) sitting at one table, together. How often does THAT happen? I just wish that we could combine all of our groups and everything into one solid foundation. Wouldn't that be much better? Even I am well prepared to give up my grudges towards people just for something like this, so that it may last. And well, I hope other people are just as dedicated, because whether they have figured this out or not, but the world is not about them, nor is it about me, or them. It is about... well, we don't even know what the hell it is about, who put us here, and why. Some people cling to something called faith. But, where does that take you? How do you know that your faith is not a make-believe story? Questions like these are more than enough to divide groups of people, and the best of friends. Believe me, I have seen it before. Hell, that's the story of my life. We never do really think of what we are thankful for, though. When you go to the mall, do you look at that shirt that you want, or are you thankful for the shirt next to it that you already have at home? Well, kinda stupid metaphor. But what I'm saying is that I AM in fact thankful for what I do have, and well... It depends how you think about it. I may have didly squat compared to some rich kid living in Newport, or I may have everything in the world compared to some poor struggling kid living in a shelter. In the end, all we can really hope for is that we have the sort of point of view which causes us to excel in whatever the hell it is we do. Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go make my girl a very happy one, indeed.
