The first part of my day was spent volunteering at the orphanage again. It was another intense, amazing day with those kids. This evening i decided to migrate to the urban area of La Ceiba. i reluctantly decided to run errands with my pop(who runs a non-profit organization out of Honduras). the car ride would give me some quiet time. we strolled into the town mall after a surprising success at maneuvering through the taxis and oblivious drivers; and that was just in the parking lot. Pops ran into the bank to be provided with a customer service rating of negative forty four and i window shopped to postpone being bored. i focused through some recently spit shined glass at one of the most uninteresting things i could possibly peer at; cell phone covers. i am still oblivious to their actual purpose, but i am open to their definition. my guesstimating would be that there was an absurd number of 200 diverse covers in an unfortunate 18 variant colors. certain ones looked like a bedazzler threw up on them and others portrayed a net worth that was most likely higher than my own. the counter girl, who looked alarmingly happy, motioned to me with her eyes to take a closer look. i shook my head no thanks.."i couldn´t afford the insurance policy on those," i thought but didn´t say. there was a sudden nauseous foreboding that swept over me as i surveyed that mall. i sensed that i didn't belong there. everything from within wanted to scream-"you crude, self absorbed colony of lost souls!! There is more to life than this! Lives based only on material possessions will never know what their one chance at life has to offer! Get over yourselves!!!! " but as i brought my heart back down to its resting rate,i realized that if i would have verbalized my "poor excuse for a slogan" story- then i would have been just like them. i don't ever want to judge people for what they presume to be. the rich judge the poor. the poor judge the rich.hippies judge the yuppies.yuppies judge the hippies. carnivores judge the vegans. vegans judge the carnivores.it is all just one heinous cycle of ridiculousness. Adopt the phenomenon that everyone isn't like you for a good reason. as my grandmother would say "be kind to EVERYONE! "That's the greatest thing i have ever been taught.
