Random


Admit it. We've all done it. At one point or another we have all talked to an inanimate object. If only they could reveal their secrets to the rest of us. Those of us wishing to know what goes on in someone else life. Yeah, it's not really right, wishing to know someone else secrets. But we've all done it. If those objects could talk back to us, it might be really funny, especially if they have an attitude. But on the other hand, they would prolly tell us what we don't want to hear. Just like instead of telling it over and over again what you would really like to say to someone, but you just don't want to. They would prolly all tell us to shut up and just do it! Cuz really what could you lose by saying it to their face? But the sometimes sad reality is that they can't talk back to us, and personally I'm kinda glad for that.
One such object is used by us, but never really thanked for the gift it gives us. So unselfish it lies there always ready to hold our weary head, or rest our tired feet. Yep you guessed it, I'm talking about our pillows. I guess you could say i'm speaking up about the abuse that these poor things have to suffer. It seems like a long stretch to say that they should be cared for as unselfishly as they care for us, but really, they do so much for us, and what do we give them. Most of the time, it's a few bad words cuz it's not fluffed up enough. If they could only give us advice when we need it. But no, they lay there listening with open ears to our groans, maybe wishing that we weren't so hard on ourselves. How many times do we beat our pillows in frustration. How many tears do they capture unselfishly, saying nothing in return, yet giving us such warmth to smother ourselves. The secrets that they hold will always be there even when we forget, but they will never tell a soul. How many times have we wished for a friend who would never tell a secret?
If you think about it, sometimes we as a person, as a friend should take an example from a pillow. Yeah I know right. You're thinking. Totally I'm going to look at a pillow and tell my self that I should be more like my pillow. Yep that is totally what I'm saying. Now don't go to the extreme. But a little bit of advice. We all wish for that friend who never really says anything, but when we really need someone to tell us when we are wrong, and even more when we're right. That's kinda where a pillow falls short. They can't say anything back. But they listen like noone else will. I know this is very weird of me to be talking about how a pillow can help us in life, but the truth is they really do help us, if it weren't for pillows where would we be today? Think about it, and you might recall that one pillow still exists today. Think about it. It's in the Bible. Old Testament. Jacob. Yep that's right. A Rock. A pillow that didn't rock. How uncomfortable would it be to use a rock as a pillow. But when Jacob was sleeping that night with a rock as a pillow he had a dream. He dreamed there was a staircase rising to heaven. How many of us have had dreams like that when we're laying on our feathery pillows? No, I'm not suggesting that we should use a rock as a pillow. But sometimes when we are the most uncomfortable in life is the time when the best things happen to us. Just a thought. Yep I'm being really random. But sometimes we just need
to be random.
