Similar

notice how small everything around us is--our jobs and our lives and our petty arguments? Love, hate, our life, our liberty, our Pursuits of Happiness, all of it is so tiny in the grand scheme of things, y'know? I mean, this world is rotating. And while its rotating, it's revolving around the sun--a sun that is so much bigger, so much brighter than the Earth that if we get too close, we die. And yet, to us, our problems seem so big! We underestimate, overlook, that, so much that its not even important to us. We rarely even think about how Mother Nature keeps herself in balance!

I got the idea for Similar from one of these small elements of life. We've all stood outside our houses at one point in our lives in our pajamas. Now, imagine this: Its one of those cold, late October/early November mornings. Y'know, the kind that are freezing in the earlier hours and then get hotter as the day goes by? So. Imagine that. And while you're imagining it, imagine yourself, outside your house, taking out the trash. Your breath is coming up in silver clouds around you, your hands are frozen stiff. You look up and see your neighbor. You wave. They wave back.

"Hi."

"Okay."
"Its getting cold out, isn't it?"
"Yeah."
A simple, early morning conversation.

Now, take that simplicity of a freezing autumn morning and turn it into something more complex: A friend confiding in another friend the troubles of his/her mind. Cancer, abuse, Alchoholism, and then a little bit more of that simplicity--a small, "Thank you, Daddy." Next, stir in a friend's advice, a warm hug, and another thank you.

Now, take into account the fact that everyone is similar. Yes, as far as personalities and physical appearance we're all vastly different, but we're looking a little bit deeper here. We all have skin, organs, tissues, cells, living, breathing bodies. And we all go through the same small things, no matter how dwarfed or drowned they are by our bigger
