Connecting

                The blog topic for this time is how do I connect with others. I don’t really get the blog topic this time as it’s very broad. I’m not sure if it means how do I connect with others like Facebook, or Twitter, or Instagram, or like social networking sites, or how I connect to others as mentally or emotionally. I think what the blog topic is trying to prompt me to write about is how do I make connections with people. I make connections with people with similar interests. I make connections by talking to people, and the more we talk, I find out about things in common then I connect. I don’t even know what connecting to someone means so I don’t really know what to write about this blog topic. It’s a really hard topic actually…

                                I’d say that I connect with others, when I talk to them a lot. The easiest way to connect with somebody in my opinion is to spend time and get to know each other. The way I see it, all human beings are alike in most ways. We are different in little ways, like what we want to eat or our favorite colors, or shows, or type of music we listen to. Those difference may seem big, but overall they are just tiny little differences in us. All humans share way more similarities. We have a sense of caring about certain people, like our family, or that we want what’s best for ourselves or our loved ones. We don’t like to do things that are difficult. All of us are the same in one way or another, but the thing is that some us don’t see beneath our petty surface differences. We need to look deeper and we can see that we are alike on the inside and those petty surface outside differences mean nothing. No matter if we’re white, or black, or Chinese, or Japanese, or Indian, or Korean, or Filipino, Italian, German, French, Russian, we are all the same on the inside in many ways. It’s just a part of being a human. This is why I think that spending time with people would let someone connect with others. It doesn’t matter if they are complete opposites on the outside, if they spend enough time and get to know each other better, they should probably be able to see that the outside differences mean nothing and that they are pretty much the same in what they want. They should see that no matter their different race, ethnicity, skin color, or age they are similar in so many ways that they can be able to connect.

                I find it really rare that people that spend so much time with each other can hate each other a lot. If someone spends time with another person a lot, I’d expect them to like each other because they see how similar they really are. Maybe they might not like each other, but at least respect one another and not dislike each other as they are both human beings and should understand each other. I didn’t really understand the blog topic so I just stated how I think people connect with each other. All I can say about myself is that the way I’ve come to connect to people is that I’ve talked to them a lot and spent a lot of time with them. I got to know them and see that we are alike in many ways, so I can understand why they do some things that other people who don’t know those people wouldn’t understand.
