Stop focusing on the things you think are negative in life. When you think of pain, think of the strength that enduring the pain will leave you with for the future. When you think of endings, think of new beginnings. When you think you are lost, think of what you might find while you're there. You wanna talk about a gateway drug? Forget ***, try some thought. Thought is a gateway drug. If you let yourself think freely, the next thing you know you will be writing about it, and maybe eventually singing about it. You might start to act out your imagination, and if it is creative instead of destructive, you might end up changing the world. Maybe there doesn't "have" to be pain, suffering, hate or sadness, maybe we just think that because we have never seen a world where there was only love and joy and compassion. But, there was a time when no one had seen the other side of the ocean, so their continent was the whole world, and there was a time when no one had seen an aircraft so it was impossible to fly. Maybe Utopia could exist, but definitely not while you keep on believing that it is impossible.
