The Others

The world in which we live is flawed. People cry, people go hungry but the others don’t care. The others can smile, can eat; the others can waste food. The others can afford luxurious cars to go to their high rise apartments.

We all talk about differences. Do you know the biggest difference? Our world is divided into two: us and the others. No matter where we are, what we do, it all comes down to where those others are and what they have done. The others are the standard against which we measure ourselves. The others have all, and we have none.

So who are these others? Anybody, other than us, is others. Right?

Is it a surprise then, why we can’t appreciate what we have? It seems as if we only think of those others when we want something. We never think the others don’t have what we have. We don’t think of others when we are being grateful. We never think, to someone else out there, we might just be one of the others.
