The end of the world, among other things

Aug 23, 2010 16:26

So i've been pondering humanity a lot lately, I'm not sure why, maybe it's because I meet the most interesting people at work....Some are the rudest, snobbiest, self-centered people in the world, others are the sweetest, funniest, and kindest people I've had the pleasure of meeting. there have been a few that have really impacted my life in a positive manner, and I will remember them and our conversations forever. I'm curious I guess because I don't understand how one person could walk every step with a smile on their face and sunshine in their eyes, and then another cold dark, and full of hatred for others. I guess we all have something that we hate, but why hate each other? We're all in this together.

I honestly believe that no one likes the way humans go about things, how we act, the way the world sees us, how we treat other life forms, and most of all how we treat this lovely planet that we ALL take for granted. However I also believe it is to late to fix this, and I think we all know that. I would love for EVERYONE to come together and hold hands, but that will NEVER happen because we are bred with hate and greed in our blood. I do my part to be a good person, and I'm sure most of you all do too.

So let me ask you this, what if the world were to end right now, what if the human race was swept out just like the dinosaurs before us. Would you be happy with your life? Would you feel complete and at ease? Or would you be panicking and trying to gather all of your precious belongings. I would love to be on this planet until the end, i would love to have that satisfaction of looking up into the sky, closing my eyes, and stretching out my arms as meteors rain down around me and the sky rolls with storms and solar flares. I am happy with my life, i am happy with where i am and where I come from and who I am. I'm happy to be a part of my family, and I am the luckiest girl alive because I have the best boyfriend i could ever ask for.

I want to be a mother some day, but I'm scared to bring children into this world. Our race is ugly, and I would never forgive myself if anything happened to my child. you can't even let a kid walk home from school alone anymore without constantly fearing their abduction. We are so smart, and we have the potential to do so much good, but alas we use our minds and hands for other things, like ipods and killing our planet with pollution.

I love people, I love the way someone can make me smile, and I could make them smile right back. I do believe the majority of people are good and I like to give them the benefit of the doubt, even if they're sour I treat them so kindly because they need it, everyone needs it and we all deserve to be loved by someone, that's what fuels our species, love and hate.

So please, share your thoughts on this, I'd love to hear them :)
