We catch a ride on a train that takes us on a journey called life. Along that way we find many things that cause us to look at the moment and decide could we have done something to change it and created a outcome that was different. As children we do not get to choose our parents that is done without our knowledge and consent yet our path is begun. Some of us get the golden ticket while others get the coach and then there is the other ticket the one no one wants. As we grow up we learn that our ticket is shown everywhere we go. A label of sorts that ties us down or builds us up. In some cases we are able to cash that ticket in for a better one. Others are on an eternal quest to better that ticket. And then there are the ones that settle for no apparent reason then just because.

Sadly, none of these tickets come with a guarantee that your life will match the ticket that you got. It does not give you anything more then a label. The childhood is the easy part really, it is what makes you who you are. Look back and really see what it was that shaped you. All those times that you had and the outcomes from them. Your lessons were there whether you learned something or not they were there. Some of us learned real quick how to survive while others did not. Your ticket did not prevent who your parents were or how they cared for you. Either one of those tickets have realms of possibilities. You get what you got and now you have to deal with it. Some of us have learned how to handle things in this world better then others. It is the survival instinct.

As for people in this world, yep it did come with them and we have to deal with them everyday. Now there are some people that believe in their own minds that they are better then all the rest of us. Each one of them has a ticket as well, they think mine is better then yours and will surely attempt to let you know this. But no one can do that to you if you do not want them to. There are boundaries that these people overstep and they seem to believe that they can. You do not have to allow this ever. Whatever they think their entitlement is to you to treat you without respect comes from their own insecurities. Sadly, these are the ones I avoid like the plague. Always have and always will. They can be found everywhere and I do mean everywhere. Another thing is they do not know that they even treat people this way it is who they are and really they probably have never sat back and wondered why people scatter when they come around or why no includes them. They are most likely to caught up in their own world to even care and their friends are the same way. Here is a bit of news in my observations of these types of ticket holders and they are all the types of tickets, one of the sexes outweighs the other is this. I will leave that to your opinion as my will taint yours. But the next time you are sitting amongst your friends somewhere watch around you and see. There are those that just seem to think the world revolves around them and like anyone knows this world has allot of issues so just think that person must as well and laugh. These ticket holders can be found in all kinds of environments and in different situations. Anyone can be this person they do not have to be rich, beautiful, poor, intelligent it is not about that it is about their personality.

The next ticket holders are the peacemakers as I will call them. Their tickets are from all three as well. Remember their childhood and how they handled it put them on this path. They are the ones who want to make a difference in this world by helping it not tarnishing it anymore then it already is. They are the ones that use what they have to do the best they can with their piece of earth. Does that mean they are happy go lucky. I do not know but I know we are human and all humans are not always happy. That would be too easy. They go about their lives making the best of it. I think they settle but it is hard for them to do this because like everyone else it is a matter of defeat. And that is ego crushing for us humans. But they enjoy life and enjoy their world. Do they try and change it? Probably, but they go about it with their hearts and logic as well. They put their energy to good use and make the best of all that they are given. These are the ones that we want to have around us. The ones whose tickets are not tattered because they took them and understood that what they were given everyday as a child was a lesson whether they realized it or not. They want their world to revolve with care and with everyone together so that life is not too difficult but not to easy. They are the ones that have challenges with what the world gives them everyday. They are the ones that have friends I mean really have friends.

Then there are the other ticket holders. These ticket holders are the promise makers. I call them this because that is what they are. They are always wanting to better themselves and never happy with who they are. It is a uphill battle with their inner self. No matter what they do it will never be a fulfilling life for them. They also carry with one of the three tickets but just cannot be happy. They live in a dream of being something or doing something that will never happen. And before you say but this is okay. No it is not. Dreaming and bettering yourself is great but not to the extent that these holders do it. These holders destroy their lives and those around them in the quest for the eternal golden dream. Their lives are not about being happy with who they are and what they have it is never enough. They want more and make promises to themselves and others that never come true. They create so much rift between themselves and their world that it leaves them broken and depressed. They have no friends because they have all scattered to the four corners of the planet. Tired of supporting a holders dream and watching them slide down a hill without seeing the damage they are causing. There would revolves around making their lives better which is a uphill battle because no matter how good their life is it will never be what is in their minds. It is in my opinion a sickness, one that only they can see. These are the saddest of the three because I think they are never going to be happy and try to be a part of this world.

So, now for my irony. I think we need all of these ticket holders in order for this world to work. It is the personalities that give us that unique quality of being human. While some of each of the tickets could use a good tweaking most of them are set in their ways and will never change. I know people from all of these train riders and it is entertaining with the first group to watch them. Most of my friends are with the second group. But I think you all knew that, it is the most easiest group to go with. I do not want to call them classes because they are not. Even more strangely I think we have a little of each one in all of us. We would be vain not to. Our train ride will continue for life and we get to get on and off that train whenever we like. That is the beauty of it we can slow it down or speed it up. But no matter what it will get us to somewhere and we will have others with us who are all individuals with their own thoughts and minds.

peace.
