donut wheel

today i was woken up rudely by my little brother and was told to get up to go get donuts. now, i do not like to get woken up for almost any reasons. But how can i miss an opportunity to see life anyways?

so there i sat at the donut wheel (we went there instead of dunk'in donuts, bad choice, its more expensive at donut wheel) eating my strawberry filled donut. i looked at the window and the first thing that caught my attention was the other food places. i noticed how closely they were situated to each other, the competitive looks that they each had. i understand how these places need the money an all, but does it always have to be a competition in business? some people would tell me that that is what it is all about (my dad), but i began to think of other way that we could do the same thing but differently.

but how could i begin to explain that we can have the same situation minus the competition? they wouldnt listen to me anyways so thats a moot point.

but life isnt about competition isnt it? or do we just do it to make some kind of fulfillment out of our lives? are we not capable if doing it in some other way? i understand it in primal terms of the master race and being the top of the food chain, but if we are truly the master race, cannot we ever get along? or are we doomed to compete with each other till the end of our days?

i sat there feeling sad at this realization, but knowing i could not do anything about it for now, i quickly got over it. maybe in time......
