I believe at some point we all decided to become people—we each had our own particular reason—and here we are, together on a spinning speck of dust, trying to find our way back to wherever it was we came from. And although we are very small, on a small planet, in a small galaxy, we are not meaningless. There’s not one person who is insignificant; we’re all here to do something important. I don’t mean important in the sense of creating a cure for cancer, say—there are people who are doing that, that’s their purpose—some of us are here to make a difference in our own seemingly little world of influence. And I believe we’re all just trying to do that even though we sometimes mess up and hurt each other.
Sure, there are people I’ll avoid if they have a desire to hurt me, but I even love them in a funny way because they act as a mirror in which I’m able to focus on my own flaws and try to correct them. Are there evil people? I don’t know. There are certainly people who do evil acts, but in there somewhere there must be a spark of good that simply hasn’t been fanned.
Warm fuzzies aside, I’ve met many really great people here online. Here’s a list of a few of them (in alphabetical order). If you’re not listed here, please don’t take offense, just make a comment and remind me.
