Sometimes, people make us question ourselves. Make us question each other. Make us all better people by opening our minds, if only for a few minutes. Make us take notice of the world at large instead of our individual personal ecosystems.
They make us proud be to someone who is a citizen of the United States. Make us lucky to be here, observing the grandest, united institution ever created. Make us believe that if we have moments of honesty outside our selfish lives, that maybe we can all be the better for it in some collective way.
You can be left, you can be right. You can be a tree-hugger, you can be a Hummer driver. You can be self-serving or self-giving. But, don't forget the people in this world who balance out all our irregular sides into something that helps civilization continue with a smile on its face.
