Random thoughts

Just sitting here today thinking (babies are asleep), and wanted to share some random thoughts.

Have you ever gotten the sensation that you've been seen, when you hadn't even known that you felt invisible?

Has a shared interest ever turned into full-blown love?

Have you ever thought about how incompletely we know one another, no matter how close we may seem?

Have you seen how desperately hard every person in the world is working to get what they need?

Have you felt the redemptive power in little things, like a smile or a shared secret?

"If" is truly the eternal word of regret.

"Revenge" is knowing that by letting a slight go unpunished, you encourage a repeat performance.

And how about this....to make sure that the FDA, along with the pharmaceutical companies get more money, they have termed more and more things as diseases. Think about it.... you used to get heartburn, now it's called Acid Reflux Disease. People used to be shy, now they have Social Anxiety Disorder. Kids who used to be rambunctious and spoiled, now have Attention Deficit Disorder. An alcoholic, is no longer an alcoholic, he now has the disease of alcoholism (funny thing is...being a drug addict is also a disease. When Mark had to attend those meetings, the people in charge would ask him how he has been controlling his disease for the past 12 years. He told them, that it was his choice to do drugs, not a disease that made him. They didn't like that answer because it meant that people are in charge of themselves). And finally, I am no longer considered overweight, I now have the disease of obesity. There are lots more. I just found it funny, that everything has a medical name now, so that they can give you prescriptions to "over come it".
