I wish we all can see the world through our hearts, not through our eyes.
I wish we can see how the world is suffering, and leading to destruction.
Today our society is very sad to look upon. People claim their lives are meaningless. That the struggles they go through are painful, that they want to end their lives, or live carelessly. But, they are wrong. Your alive, and you are breathing you can smile but unfortunately this is not enough. I know they are people with illness and sickness and they battling for their life. They are hurt and fill with pain because of the disease or illness they have. And that alone can make them feel alone. Children are homeless, starving and will do whatever they can to survive. But yet we still say are life is meaningless. By saying those words, we are being ungrateful. By saying those words the people who sacrifice their lives for us was for nothing. By saying those words you are saying they died in vain. The sacrifices they made for us to live in the society today were in vain. They sacrifice their lives thinking to them self that they were helping the future. Thinking that they are helping the world to become a peaceful place. But what cause these wars, what cause this pain on the world? Because people wanted power, money, and greed. They wanted to be in charge of the world. Some with good intentions and some with bad. People sacrifice their lives for man’s greed. We lose our husband’s, wives, brothers, sisters, our children’s, and our friends. For what! Because of the color of our skin, the way we look, the things we believe in. we are a big nation. Each of us was born in different cultures, in different places. We were supposed to live happy as one despite our difference. But instead we are racial towards each other. We prey on the weak because we feel that because we are stronger we have the right. That is so wrong if you are strong you should use your strength to help the weak. You should help them be as strong as you are so they can help someone else be strong. The world is full of pleasure. We will betray or **** just to have pleasure. We will even sacrifice our humanity; shame our self just to have pleasure……that is wrong. We put our love and time in worthless things. We ignore the people who suppose to mean the world to you, instead you shove them away. Our children become rebellious, our wives and husband’s cheats and cause more destruction to our homes. The military takes our family away from us to fight in wars that causes more pain. Why is the world like this? Why can’t we see it? We are polluting the world, destroying our home. What future lies before us? Will we live? Will we die? What are we fighting for? Peace. How can you obtain peace by shedding a sea of blood! How can you? No! where not fighting for peace, we are fighting for no reason. We claim we want world peace! But what are we doing about it to get world peace? Nothing! we continue living our lives and blind our selves from the destruction that is happening around us. Because it’s not happening to my family its fine. Because it’s not happening to me its ok. It’s ok for them to suffer, its ok for them to feel pain. I am getting rich. I am gaining power so they can die am alive so I don’t care. I have the big house, the flashy cars, the best wardrobe no one can compare to me, and if they do I have to take them down. Only I can be on top. Now tell me if thoughts like that never appear in your mind. UN pure thoughts we should help people not dispose them. They say the greatest power in the world is love, maybe it is, but people tend to use love as a weapon of destruction. So tell me what are we going to do? Will we change? Will we live as one? What does the future holds for us? Tell me what will you do? Will you change? So many questions……..not enough answers.
