Scatterbrainy

How much of all our emotions are really coming from the reflections of us in the eyes of others?
Encouragement, Disapproval, Appreciation?
Are we masters of ourselves?
Or was Khalil Gibran right in saying that we try so hard to be understood
that we end up enslaved to those who understand us?

But what else is there to aim for..
And sometimes the understanding comes from nowhere
A stranger sweeping in. shaking your world a little.
Making you dance.
