I can relate to this song today. I was on the bus to school and saw a woman come on with her child. she looked like a mess, her mascara was running as if she was crying. I glanced up and looked in her eyes for a moment. I could see the hopelessness in her eyes. A look of deep sorrow washed through me. It was almost like she was trying to release her burden on me by just simply making eye contact. More was said in that one glance then she could have told me for many bus rides.
In Sociology class, the teacher was lecturing about "the sociological imagination" CW. Mills theory that humans can only better society by looking beyond a persons outward appearance and try to emphasize with them. I couldn't help thinking about the helpless woman I saw on the bus. How I had emphasised for a brief second with her. Maybe I should try it more often.
Random Thought: Sometimes I feel like I could go to war after walking my dog. Only sometimes though.
