Whatever Makes Them Happy

The Sunflower Bike (with kind permission from the owner, a tanned middle aged stranger to whom I've never spoken to before today.

When I first set eyes on this motorbike, my first thought was..."Wow, here's one man who does whatever makes him happy and cares not what the rest of the world might think"

And I wish, in my own ways, I could be a little more like this stranger.

One who cares too much of what others might think of him is ruthless in his search for peer validation. He thirsts consenting nods, thrives only on smiles of acceptance, and goes way beyond boundaries to seek approval, sometimes at the expense of what is right.
