Such jewels, thank you! Question: are they related to hummingbirds?

When I stated 'part of something bigger,' I meant as part of the human family, part of life itself. I can totally see how that could be misconstrued though. I'm not a member of any of the monotheistic religions. As people, we are biologically wired to be social (and I say that as an introvert that loves quiet time alone). But we have evolved as social beings, it's in our biology. Our reading of these stories online and sharing what we think and feel, positive or negative, shows that we seek that connection. It's an urge built into our genes.
A few months ago I was leaving the grocery store, carrying a large number of bags. I was parked at the far end of the lot, and didn't want to want to leave the cart that far out for one of the clerks to get later, so I just decided to carry the bags to my car. As I was walking with all these bags, a elderly woman saw and called out to me. I stopped, and she then asked me if I was walking home. A bit perplexed, I said no, that my car was in the back of the lot. She seemed relieved and said good. Since I was walking that far out and carrying so many bags, she said that she thought maybe I was walking home with them. So she decided she'd offer me a ride. It was hot and very humid that day. I was very touched by that. She didn't know me, and in no way had to offer me, a complete stranger, a ride just to make my life easier. But she did anyway. I thanked her for the offer nonetheless. It would never have occurred to me that she thought I was poor, or pathetic, or that her intentions were anything other than what they were- kind. Her offer actually brightened my day, reminding me that there are such caring individuals in the world.
I say all that to say this; it's the intent behind what people do that matters. If someone says hi to me, I am not going to try and wonder "do they think I'm lonely and feel sorry for me? Why are they saying hi?" Getting to the point of assuming most kind intentions are judgmental and negative is a harsh and sad way to live.
And as for someone being depressed and assuming that, I can tell you that's not always the case. I have been diagnosed with depression before. I've been treated by a psychiatrist and therapist in the past, and have even taken different medications for it. And I still wouldn't have taken someone giving me a card saying "you matter" as a negative thing. Quite the opposite.
I'm in a much better place now. I've come to understand that what you expect the world to be, is exactly what you will see. If you believe the world to be a cold and judgmental place, that's what you will experience. If you think there is beauty in the world, that's what will appear before you. I speak from experience. Change the way you see the world, and the world you see will change.
