Paper!

Here's a quote I heard in 6th grade, so I'm not sure if I'm going to get it right, and I also don't know who said it.

"Life is a piece of paper on which every passerby leaves a mark."

interesting!! what if one of the passerbys is an eraser though???? or a colorwonder marker in which the ink is clear???
or what if someone leaves a mark but then an eraser person comes by... can they erase all traces of the previous person???
interesting when you really think about that one!

oh my gosh! that's funny! cassi you're hilarious! you know some erasers do make marks, even when they're erasing other markers! and don't the color wonder markers make a wet-looking spot? isn't that a mark? hmmm....well, i guess if they don't make a mark, those are the people who don't make themselves known, and just let themselves be invisible to the world, which is sad! the eraser, (if it's a good eraser hoho) is maybe someone who is rude and makes people feel invisible, ya know, like putting everyone down and stuff! and then, maybe the lead people are people we know that just don't do anything that memorable, and the ink people are the poeple who really affect us and leave a mark in a brain that was can never forget! yeah baby! :)

oh thats funny Cass!!! good point.. im scared for what has been erased in me!!! hm.. what a deep quote from B!... I'd say anyone that makes you feel "less" or bad.. is an eraser and someone that puts you up and makes you feel good is a marker.!!! heehee..although everythig is a mark good or bad!!

Hmm, interesting takes on this quote, but I'm just not convinced the person who said it was thinking of all the different kinds of markers and erasers - I guess you never know. I think it's just saying that you leave some kind of impression - positive or negative - on every person you come across in life. So we should always try to be good markers to all the people we come in contact with!
