Humans

Since I act, react, and interact with other humans, I have the little-spoken-of power of influence.  We can influence the moods and even the decisions of those around us without even really saying a direct opinion.  It's seems unfair to have so much power.  But, now that I've realized it, I can do good and not evil.  No sarcasm.  No belittlement.  I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, not even if they deserve it. 

I just heard this sweet quote off Six Feet Under:

"The future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid being alive today."
