We live in a world, where it's okay to be complacent in our
dreams, where sensitivity is at an all time high, where everything is racist or sexist, and everyone else is at fault for our failures . We live in a time where people beat each other down, talk bad
about one another and wish or pray for their enemies’ downfall. Knowing that,
how do you think this world is doing today?
There are suicide bombers, terrorists of
all kinds foreign and those known at home. YET, we tend to turn a blind eye to
what we have going on in our own backyards, and look at the mud filled pigpens
of our neighbors. We live in a world, where it’s okay to be ignorant. Where it’s
okay for an entertainer to
make a mockery of a political platform, where when wearing cameras, the police
are still killing us and getting away with it, where people can end up dead in
jail after illegally being booked, where someone can yell "rape" and
have an innocent man placed behind bars. We live in a world were kids are
obese, and shame on a teacher for pushing gym class, where "guns kill
people" yet we forget that someone had to pull the trigger, where being
heavy set is "gross" and to thin is just as "gross", where
body shaming is the new fad, and cyber bullying is the new trend. You see, we
live in a world of hatred, ignorance, obliviousness and manipulation.
Many people before us had dreams that
everything will be equal, that all of us will love one another, that man and
woman will get the same pay and respect, and that this place, the world will be
so loving to where we can live in peace. What happened to the dreamers? When
did dreaming become preaching, when did dreaming become a phase, and when did
wanting what is best for the universe become too farfetched?
I get confused when I turn on the news.
The senseless murders, the viral videos of little children fighting, the dance
moves that are over sexualized, petty crime sprees, and bullying because one
person looks different from the other. News makes me sad, because it is a harsh
reality to what is really happening. This world is senseless; there aren't
enough people who have good hearts that are left in this world to make a
change. And IF I am wrong, where are you? What are you doing to help? Where is
your voice? We have so much technology, there is no reason as to why
inspirational videos, blogs, tweets, Instagram posts, and Facebook pages should
be filled with ratchet crap instead of uplifting messages.
Remember the sayings: "do unto others
as you want done unto you", "if you don't have anything nice to say
then don't say it at all", "sharing is caring", "be kind
and respect your elders". Somewhere between elementary school and middle
school, those ethical teachings went out the window. I fully believe that this
world can truly be a place of love. That this country can truly understand that
we are still separated and until drastic measures are taken, nothing will
change. Prosecute the police who are killing people, don't just place them on
paid administrative leave; have fair sentences for everyone for the same
crimes! Doesn't matter if they are white, black, brown, purple or yellow and it
shouldn't matter if they are male, female, rich or poor. Take a look at our
education system, find a way to BREAK the chains when it comes to the inner
city youths. REACH OUT and do something; and for the love of GOD stop giving up
on people just because they made a mistake. God told us to forgive someone 70
times 7, imagine if we actually did that, not only forgave people, but helped
them change? Provide outlets for them, give them tools to utilize, encouraging
words of belief instead of telling them they will fail. What would happen if we
allowed this to take place? Now, not everyone wants change, or is willing to
help themselves and that’s okay, at least you tried.
I’ll be ecstatic when the day comes and we love one another
unconditionally. Where there are no judgments, and where everyone helps out
someone. I know I am thinking of heaven, but I would truly love to think that
heaven can be on earth one day. Just my
thoughts….
