It's so strange how I don't hold to the same standards a group of people.
What I would find acceptable from one,
is inexcusable from the next.
What makes one exempt from another?
Maybe, maybe, my focus is all off.
Maybe I should be more critical of the first, and more accepting of the last -
because in the end -
in the first kaleidoscope world,
no one escapes judgement.
Far too this, or not decent enough to be that.
In this everyday stratosphere, people are just people
from different places, with different goals
and one minor commonality.
To elevate oneself.
Surely, that is a respectable claim.
Much more so, than, wading in stagnant water.
The same filth that has been there, years upon years - without purpose.
So maybe I've been doing it all wrong.
Putting energy in the wrong place, I suppose.
Sometimes you must leave to see it.
I guess you can say that now I've seen the light.
