Some
Some people push life to its limits. Some don't push at all.
Some people want everything and more. Some settle for what they get.
Some people fill their lives with experience. Some just dance along the edge of other people's lives, like spectators peeking through dusty curtains.
Some people share an unrelenting passion. Some have no passion to give.
Some people fill the room with colour. Some turn everything into black and white.
Some people find the key to the riddle of sharing life and loving another. Some lock themselves away and remain alone.
Some people see the glass as half-full, and others see the glass as half-empty. Some don't even know there is a glass.
Some live, some die. Some can't tell the difference.

I think I have been all of those people at some point in my life, even the one in the last line, though very briefly.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post, quite deep actually.
I am still trying to figure out why the working title for this piece was "Sugarbaby" ...
DeleteBecause you were thinking of me when you wrote it? ;-)
DeleteHaha, just kidding. I have no clue why. Titles are always the hardest for me when I write something. I'm not very clever in that respect....or any other respect for that matter !
Thought provoking! I like the thought of keeping my feet on the edge and the wind in my face :) good morning
ReplyDeleteWell, you're right. The true art of living is being on the edge ... good morning ...
DeleteThe Yin and Yang of life ... Good morning!
ReplyDeleteLike the comedy and tragedy masks ... GM ...
Delete"Sugarbaby" is a great title :)
ReplyDeleteHaha ... are sugarbabies a kind of candy?
Delete... a rather neat write ~smile~ ... those would be the natural balances which kind of make up life ...
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, some never see both sides of the equation.
DeleteWhat should matter to everyone, if you ask me, is to live their own life, and make the best of what they have got.
ReplyDeleteVery true. Some days, I forget how fortunate I am. So I have to remind myself that when I feel like I'm at the bottom, it's time to look down.
DeleteThe best combo is TWO half full glasses :) cheers on a neat write *clink*
