The passions of life and love that I wonder about as I look, really look at the people around me. The outward surely while at times an apt enough expression of the inner, cannot and must not be able to do justice to the multitude of emotions and depths of vulnerability in the human soul......
Yet maybe it's more advisable to remember and recount the happiness - in fields of grass against blue skies...
Either way, the masses around us are people, and they feel and laugh and hurt like you do.

intricate and complex and so overwhelmingly vast, this human soul is that we own and have and carry around with us. times that by six and a half billion and you have enough thoughts to think for ten lifetimes. people are so ridiculously real aren't they? No matter how fake they portray themselves to be, you know deep down inside they feel real things and think real thoughts.
mmm sometimes its easy forget the person behind the exterior.. i am definitely guilty of forgetting that people are just people.. anyway love you!
dave - absolutely. they are so, so REAL. but i've just been thinking, do you need to be curiously detached or emotionally engaged to see it? ...do you kinda get what i mean?
heyya clara, so i think i might have some idea of what you are trying to say hehe :)
i think you can either be 'curiously detached' or 'emotionally engaged' to use your words ever so carefully.
Im sure if an alien from a far off planet came down to visit earth, he would see the complexity, and he surely wouldn't be emotionally engaged, just ridiculously curious.
On the other hand you might have two french lovers departing after a glorious day together, wondering on their separate trips home how on earth the human soul could be so so beautiful.
mmmmm....
davo.... why french lovers?
It's a little off topic but the only thing I really took away from Mr Short's history lessons in year 10 was this:
While generations change, language changes, technology advances, customs and traditions are modified, and while humans are put through a vast array of situations (war, poverty, or even an 'average' lifestyle), the thing that connects humanity is our ability to feel. Today, while we may live quite different lives to those who walked the earth centuries ago, our connection to our ancestors is the same multitude of emotions that we, as humans, are capable of feeling. And I don't tell this to many people but sometimes I think that that is precisely the meaning of life: to feel.
yeh i thought about that too after i wrote it shen haha... i think its just cause that was the visual image i had when i was writing the words. and i think i got that image from a french movie i recently saw.
