People. Like unto Garbage Trucks They Are.

People are like Garbage Trucks.

I had an English Teacher my Junior year. 

He was awesome! One of those guys who was fluent in many languages, and was pretty much a well of everlasting knowledge. 

I love people like that.

Anyway, one day, near the end of my Junior year, he opened the class with this.

People are like Garbage Trucks.

And at first you think, "hey!"

But It's kind of true. 

And it's even better with his explanation.

People tend to go around, dumping their garbage around everywhere. Now, the choice comes to us. To pick up the garbage, and carry it around so that we can dump it elsewhere, or to just leave it.

Lots of people pick up the garbage they are dealt in life.

But what if we don't. We just leave the Garbage, and instead, we spread something like flowers, or sparkles for goodness sakes? 

I don't know why people find it their job to share their garbage with the rest of the world, but they do. 

And this in itself may in fact be just that. Garbage.

So, take it or leave it.

People are like Garbage Trucks.

They are also like slynkies. 

They're totally useless, but if you throw them down the stairs, they make you laugh. 

Yet another wisdom from High School.

Okay, I guess not all people are like Garbage trucks. There are probably other people like this.

So the real question is, what do you leave behind? Most of us probably leave a mix of both. I know that I do.

Yeah, no one's perfect. But we can choose what we leave behind, and what we pick up. Hopefully leave more of these lanterns, than Garbage. 

But one can only hope, and do one's best :) 

Luckily, people understand. And there is real Garbage in the world. But there is also real beauty. 

We can spread both. So, we should be careful what we leave behind, because someone will run into it eventually. 

Leave beauty, not Garbage. But if you do leave Garbage, someone will clean it up. So, just try your best. At the end of the day, that's all that matters.
