I was sitting at It's Grind on the patio next to one of the window fronts and if I looked to my left I was only separated from complete strangers by a panel of glass. I couldn't hear them, feel them, or truly even see them. And while these two men read their laptop screens, I was listening to the Spanish being exchanged from across the patio. Sitting there, I was wondering it they've ever thought about the barriers that exist between every single person in this world. Barriers keep people safe and comfortable. What happens when there are none? When the security is bare and all you have to protect you is your very own skin...? There comes a time in every individuals life where it's necessary to break the barricades and become susceptible to the risks of our world. Once broken down, all things are possible. Love. Life's beauty. Change. They are all accepted after the barriers are gone. Just imagine a life where everyone is willing to break the panel of glass in front of them and freely accept someone without fear or regret.
Life is full of risks and those who are willing to break the glass panel will benefit the most from the experiences brought on by those risks. With the barriers, we just merely exist. What's the point in just existing when you can really live.
Share this world. Rid yourself of your glass panels and lack of understanding so someone can finally see who you are.

For fifty years I have been at
the mercy of a woman-my child bride-and she has made me pay dearly for my decision. LOL
So what has created the glass panels that we die behind? The psyche or society?
humbled81-I honestly believe it's both. The psyche, and don't quote me because I'm just an aspiring photographer not a doctor, holds in fear of all sorts of things because of what society rejects and accepts.
struggle for justice-I'm not positive I know where you were going with that...
