~:[CH15 - Day 10]:~ Look Around You

I get tunnel vision a lot. I look at what I need to accomplish and push forward towards it. It's important to do when you need to wrap things up. However, knowing what is around you is also important. If you speed by a car for instance and narrowly cut them off, your actions can infuriate someone else and cause an unpredictable situations. In a parking structure, we were stuck in relatively the same spot for 15 minutes and the driver in front of my was upset, cut off someone backing up and proceeded to honk at them. A car behind them (who this same driver cut off), drove along side them and calmly talked to that person. It seemed like it calmed her down as she followed along until we finally exited the structure. Our lives are constantly like this. When we do something, someone else is impacted, both positively and negatively. We are a cluster of people together who ping and pong of each other, as our actions and words often inadvertently impact others. Who and how, is often predictable, but what we can do is remember to make decisions considering how it impacts those around us. Emotions are powerful things which often drives us to bad decisions, but I know we can calm them a bit, if we take a deep breath and consider how our actions will impact those around us. There are opportunities to do our part and make our world into a beautiful one, but it takes us all to do it. As I looked up at the beautiful lights overhead, if one or a few of the lights pushed aggressively back and forth, that beauty would come shattering to the ground, instead, each light hung firmly in place, revealing a beautiful harmony that I hope that we as humans can find. We can simultaneously have our own space and co-exist together, but it takes us looking around us to see how we are impacting others and understanding how beautiful society is if we can find a way to exist together. There's a lot that can cause us to spin in disarray, but I just hope that in the madness and chaos of this world, we can be a collection of lights, lighting the path of this world to a beautiful road ahead.
