Endless Dice

You know those dice with 15 different sides to them? They are for those dungeon and dragons games I think. Or that die that comes with the game Scattergories with letters on it. When you pick up the die and turn it around in your hand you see some of the same letters over and over and just when you think you know all the sides to the dice, you roll it one more time and it lands on a side you could swear didn't exist a second ago. People are like those dice too, except they have a lot more sides. Just when you think you've seen all around them they turn one way and blow you away. For better or for worse, it never ceases to amaze me of the things people are capable of. The capacity to love, hate, and to feel and make others feel everything in between is just astonishing. I saw my math teacher land on a new side today when in the middle of his lecture, he saw a special education student collecting recyclable bottles, proceeded to get out of his chair and invite the kid in his classroom to help him. I think what truly made things click was the genuine happiness I saw exuding out of my math teacher as he helped the student. 

Just a small note as I sit in math. (And if you don't know, this is very much not the man I see in class daily.) If I knew a good quote about rolling the dice, I would end this post with it.
