What did I learn again lately? That many people have become real lone fighters. I have the feeling that people get more and more concerned with themselves. There is hardly any genuine interest in other people. You work together. You spent time together. But everyone thinks of being first and best. Not a real together after all. You may know each other from school. You live opposite each other. You meet occasionally. You chatter on the other one and boast about your life. You like to listen to yourself. And not to the other one. At least not in a genuine way. Maybe your real purpose of meeting is even that you need something from the other person. A favour. Attention.
I dream of people who equate the “me” and “we”. That they understand that without a strong “us”, there is also no strong “me”. That they occasionally look to one side and smile at the other one. Just because. Genuinely. And feel true joy. The ones that have true interest in each other. With no strings attached. The ones that help without being asked just because they notice that you might need it. The ones that occasionally pause their own words and show interest in what the counterpart has to say. Mutually immerse yourself in each other´s soul and thoughts. Just because. Without reward. Simply because we are all we. And the world definitely needs more WE.
