There are billions of people in the world.
In our lifetime we will meet but a tiny fraction of them.
Occasionally we will encounter someone quite unlike our self.
Someone markedly different in a number of ways.
They will most probably be healthier, cheerier and altogether happier than you or I.
They will generally remain positive regardless of the trials and tribulations their life throws at them.
They seem to glide along without friction.
By being this way they enrich the lives of those around them.
Should you be fortunate enough to meet one of these incredible individuals….do not fear them.
Befriend them and treasure them, for they are rare.

This post was inspired by the words of Charles Bukowski and the actions of a certain person I know and whose friendship I cherish.

Truly Inspiring Dave.
Kudos!
Your comments here really do leave much to be desired. A writer who is worth his onions does excellent research,am afraid what i have found here is really nothing more than mediocrity. It's such a shame i found this crap out two years after the global xchange www.irritationsoflife.blogspot.com/2006/08.Your comments about Nigeria defeats the very essence and reason for the exchange. This is not about Nigerians bringing physical aid to Scotland, it's about working in various capacities to understand the challenges and shortcomings of the human person; be it in Scotland or in Abuja, and channelling some energy and positive learning into making lives better. Nigeria might be poverty stricken like you so delightfully pointed out, but what's more, it doesn't have as much homelessness,alcoholism and drug addiction that is quite rampant in Scotland, particularly Glasgow, neither does it have your high incidence of knife crimes which Glasgow has since become renowned for. Scotland is the HIV capital of the UK isn't it? But you know the best part of this whole issue? Nigeria stood up to the English and took back it's nationhood. Remind me, isn't Scotland still at the disposal of the English? Aren't you still a colony? Oh and just incase you are getting all riled up, Holyrood is a sham and a joke; England's indulgence.I rest my case.
