special kidneys homeless fragile insecure. special

Man is
fragile
. A 4mm stone can cause a grown man to cry when found in his
kidneys
.

Yet man is resilient. Tell a man he will have to piss out the stone and he won't just go off himself. He'll stick around and go through the pain.

Whenever I drive nearby Victoria Park I see the 
homeless
. No matter how hot and humid it gets, they are still there. They do not just quit. Resilience at some level, that's respectable.

Maybe I try to look for things I can respect about them, because on almost any other occasions I catch myself judging them.

I know the deep truth to why I judge. I judge because I am 
insecure.


Things that do not bother my ego do not get seen. I accept them passively as a matter of fact. Things I won't let go of, those are what still bother me.

I once was so close to being homeless. But then I was saved by a friend of mine. I like to think it was because I was special and that those homeless people just need to either work hard or be special enough to be saved like I was. But there is my insecurity.

Wanting to feel.

As Radiohead sang, "I wish I was special. So fuckin' special...but I'm a creep."
