A fall from a plane is most certain death for our soft little human bodies, even if we were to land on a sea of gummie bears. In this case, gravity is not our friend. I mean, why should it be? We built this machine to take us up in the air and basically give gravity the finger! How rude? We are so arrogant! To think that after that obscene gesture we display for however long it's takes us to reach 900 brazillian feet, we can just do a back flip out of the safety of "the bird" and expect to survive the force of "Angry Uncle Gravity"!
Although it appears to be for our own good sometimes, I can't help but think that gravity just doesn't like us very much. I don't mean to get all John Mayer here, but it is constantly doing everything to weigh us down and defeat our attempts at flight.
Do you ever feel this type of weight on your mind? Do you ever feel it coming from other people?
Sometimes I don't think we realize the weight of the words we say and how strongly we influence each other's self esteem.
Do you ever feel trapped to act a certain way around certain people? Like you just can't possibly be any other way than how they see you?
Think about how tangible disapproval is. Sometimes people might as well just tell you to your face that they don't believe in you, and you'll probably be stuck losing your whole life. Have you ever wanted super human mental powers? Well, we all have them! Really strong ones. We can crush each other with out even knowing it. Without even saying anything. How many times have you heard someone talk about their dreams and just never really connected with them? You might think what they are doing is cool but they never quite feel the attitude of "Wow, that's amazing! You can do that!"
Let's pay a little more attention to each other. My friends are some of the most talented people out there, with their strongest attribute being their love for people, and ability to hope for a better world.
We all need help from each other to relieve this weight that gravity is relentlessly forcing on us. It doesn't need any help! We don't need to add any more weight to the people around us! Just go to Wal Mart some time and notice how tired people are from this life battle. One word can help someone escape a world of guilt and heaviness. One encouraging statement can send someone soaring.
I seriously want to go sky diving. Anyone up for it this summer?
