1. personally, i think some people do, but others honestly don't. I believe you need to go through pain first to see the real beauty in the world, to appreciate so many other things about humanity and planet earth. i think this goes alongs with the sayings of people, too. "you never know someone's toxic until you meet the antidote." it's the other way around, though. you never see how beautiful the earth is until you have no one to talk to, no friends, family. Hell, once the person who gave birth to you betrays you and you're living in a trailer in the back of your uncle's shop and you don't even have money to buy a school lunch, you see real BEAUTY. you see other people as beauty, the earth as beauty, life as beauty. humans have a bad habit of doing the same thing every day and it puts us in this zone to where we don't appreciate things because they are ALL THE SAME.
2. most of us don't. we go on with our lives and hide our food in our car from the homeless and pretend nothing happened the next day, when you know for a fact they need it more than you do. but there are a few of us that do appreciate it.
I remember a day this summer when i was walking downtown with my friends and we came across someone playing guitar and he was playing one of my favorite songs. i stood next to him and asked if i could sing along. as i started singing, my friends started recording it and a crowd began to get bigger around us. everyone had their phones out, which i took as a compliment, but i was also frustrated that no one could just enjoy the moment and go home to their families and tell them about this beautiful thing that happen on South Congress Avenue.
3. I don't think so, and that's something that we should work on. there are so many amazing things on this earth and we tend to stay in a bubble that's comfortable with our close interests, and the other half of us does work just for the money. i would hate to live a life like that.
