mental match

there are so many people who are
full of useless information-
or useful information that seems useless-
but useless information serves a purpose, to be useful for people
who are full of it.

self-transformation dates back to
creation! and people think they are sooooo innovative and insightful and creative and interesting and wonderful and beautiful when they come to the realization that they, in fact, are realizing something about themselves and the world - well, the truth is that yes, you are wonderful beautiful special creative insightful and interesting.. but also human.  and as much as i don't agree with warren miller, who says something along the lines of "you are unique just like everybody else," it holds true in a positive sense.  being unique is very common even though not everyone is unique.  but if one believes everyone is unique, i still have to know that not every unique person is special.  the difference is: a person can be unique all by themselves, no help, oh so admirable from afar, idolized and praiseworthy, functional and accomplished -- but no one can be special without changing and affecting, idolizing someone else, touching, feeling, thinking, listening, existing through the mind of, seeing through the eyes of, hurting, exchanging, and sharing with others.
