Nah, don't settle for what you can get if you know it's not what you want. No point settling for dissapointment after all.
I'll make a deal with you, you remain hopeful for someone to come along, and so will i 😊

Well, why wouldn't we be great?

People, in essence, are uneventfully challenged in greatness. You see, if someone is referred to as "great," we are referring to not the person himself/herself, but the actions that the particular person in general has performed in their life. For example, if I were to make my usual statement (and I'll fight anyone that agues on this point) that Kurt Cobain was a great person, I refer not to the drug addict who supposedly killed himselfSpoiler:but instead to the music and the legacy left behind by him. Though honestly, I have to say Cobain in his younger years did overcome quite a bit, and became quite the role model until the drug abuse and the "suicide." But I'm getting off-topic here...
Courtney Love did it. Why don't people see that?
Because there is nothing in the world that would inherently define a human being, without getting into "religion", as something "above and beyond". So if I see a friend, if I could call him that, I see him as a friend because I give him value through my eyes. But he is not friends with everyone, so inevitably not everyone will see him as I see him. So in turn when I try to be fair and take away the biased eyes, I don't see a friend, I see a person. A person deserving of nothing from me. A person no greater then the earth beneath my feet. No amount of actions, or good deeds, or morals, etc. can ever change that. Because that would assume that everything he would do would have to be seen as an action separate of the doer. But since no action can be separate of the person who performs it, because then it wouldn't exist, the action becomes the person and is equally subject to biased views. If you don't like the person, you may not necessarily like what he does or says. And the opposite works the same. So I return the question to you, what makes us so great?
