I keep saying that I'm going to be better about posting on this, but I'm not. Months have gone by since the last time I wrote and I hardly think about this collection of words I used to add to so often. I sometimes wonder if writing was my way to escape the loneliness.
Well today's reason for a post is my brother. I don't think there are many siblings who can say they share the same sort of bond my brother and I share. I remember even as kids I would see my friends fight and yell with siblings, completely unable to understand why they hated each other so much. Sure, we had our bickering, but it never lasted long. When I think about the few people in my life that I know I couldn't live without, he's right up there near the top of the list.
I suppose this was prompted by my inability to accept human nature. I believe we make our own paths. We decide who we're going to be and what we can accomplish. Anyone who blames a decision on anything but their self is a fool. As humans, there is always this need for personal gain. It is very rare that you find a person acting with disregard for their own motives.
I can't even begin to say that people can be lumped into ranking categories, because they definitely can't. Sure, some people may be incredibly similar to others, but I also know that is entirely impossible for two people to live the same life. I do, however, know the difference between a truly good person and an evil person masked in good. My brother is one of those good people.
I guess maybe this is turning into more of a dedication or whatever, but it doesn't make it any less true. My brother is an amazing person. He constantly baffles me with both his intelligence and skill. Almost daily he does something that just makes me proud to be able to say that he is my little brother. He deserves nothing less than the best from life.
I love you, Andy-kun. :)
