People Watching

I'm a people-watcher from way back. It's how I learned what makes people tick. Textbook learning only goes so far; you have to get out into the real world to REALLY learn about people. I still do it as often as I get the chance. If the opportunity arises, I'll even try to talk with these people. I'm not a "buttinsky" and won't just barge into a conversation but, if the opportunity shows itself, I'll get involved. I like to understand people. The best way to do that is to watch them when they don't realize they're being watched. It's fun, it's entertaining and you can learn so much, even about yourself, by watching others.

People watching can be very interesting. I love going to amusement parks and sitting on the bench while my kids ride, I people watch. There certainly are all kinds to make the world go round.

Watching people come and go is also one of my hobbies. It's fun to see them walk around, or making funny gestures when they'e with some friends. It's also one way of reflecting on my inner self if I also act the same way as they do, and being able to know more about the attitudes of some people. SOmetimes I do some thinking on what would be the possible activities that human beings do at that very moment. And when I watch them rushing or just simply walking and laughing and talking or eating, I always feel that life is really beautiful...

I don't sit and people watch, but when I go for a just a Sunday ride, I look at the homes, and picture the people in them, and imagine what they might be like. I picture myself living there. But, what I also do, is listen to conversations...lol...I don't mean to, but I love to sit in a restaurant and listen to the couple behind me...lol.
