The Art of Balance.

How do you know when to hold on to something you believe in and how to do you know when to conform?
Thats honestly a struggle that I've been dealing with my whole life as I think as I've had a tendancy to "stand out." Maybe because of my loud voice, my loud clothles..I'm not quite sure. I just know that its been a reality for me.

Sometimes, I wonder about North American society. Mine and yours. Yours and mine. Everything has a label a boundary and a name regardless of how much we have. Maybe it could be that I've seen what happens when people share all the time...so I have a tendancy to assume that the world we be a better place if we all did the same. Am I being to idealistic?

I've been told my sister...that Im fairly easy to stomp on because I dont think about myself..I think about others first more than I should. Is that a bad thing to do? Not to say that I'm Mother Thersa or anything...but I'm just wondering is it such a bad thing to do to care about others before yourself?

I wonder how people with so little....are more willing to share with people who have so much. I wonder what motivates them to share a piece of bread, water, or vegetables that they have with their neighbors when they should be keeping to themselves.....

Sometimes, I dont feel Canadian at all. With these individualist notions of yours and mine, I dont understand how it fits into my life. But maybe, thats alright. Maybe its good that I have a different point of view.

I guess the only thing really to do is find a balance between what you believe and in being able to conform with the place your in....
Trying to understand where the "other perspective" is coming from...

Maybe its easier to understand...

Maybe we just all need to try and understand each other then. I'm not quite sure though...

Its something to think about isnt it?
