Twenty-Seventh Entry: 1/3/10 2:20:12 PM

What is the most important thing in Life? If I asked someone that specific question, they would answer me with a long list of nouns that are important to them. Obviously, these nouns will differ for each person that I asked. However, they all misheard my question. I said “What is”, which should tip off any English speaking person that I was looking for one thing, not multiple. Once I have explained this to the individual the answers become more in common. Usually, they have to do with family, or something of that sort. Still, there will be some people who will answer money or fame, but they just have different priorities, and I do not judge them for this. For me, it’s not what I do in Life that are the most important, it’s the interactions that I have in life that are the most important.

This also crosses over into my preceding entry about resolutions. The key to living a good Life, or a fulfilling one, is being proud of your interactions with people. I’m not saying you have to be a saint, but just being a kind person goes a long way. I laugh when I think of a specific person, because our interactions were like those of first graders who liked each other. She would trip me in the hallway, or attempt to trip, kick me in the shins, and just be generally annoying. My actions were also similar to hers towards me. To be honest, it became very obnoxious fast. I think what was on both of our minds was just to get to know each other, but we both carried out our feelings in a stupid way. Anyway, I decided to man up, and basically what we decided to for our “New Years Resolution” was to be nicer to each other. I’m sure that will sound stupid to most of you out there, but I feel much better about my interactions with her than I did before. It’s small little things like this, which turn into being the most important things in our Lives.
