If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?
This quote found in Alice and Wonderland, completely resonates with me. On the brink of turning 21, I find myself completely lost, and yet completely satisfied. The world I would create would be complete nonsense, just as it seemingly runs today. I’m not dismissing universal healthcare, or Iran’s enriched uranium- but I am admitting that when I walk out the door a whole lot of glorious nonsense awaits my flakey attention. Luckily (for you,) I do not have to make decisions that will change the world. Instead I get to change someone’s day just by holding the door open, my contribution can be as simple as that. And the truth is, that is not nonsense. Little considerations should not be overlooked. I am here in the now, standing at the corner of Starbucks and your street. What I do on a daily basis affects fellow city dwellers a lot more. Create an atmosphere that you want to be apart of, “One that nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t.” Or at least say “thank you,” when some one holds the door open.
