and all i really want, is some peace, man...
this weekend has been a huge rush of emotions. project CAC, live on.
i'd like for you to know that someone in this world actually posted this in their livejournal:
"the most annoying thing ever is: hippies and jackhammers"
they also said this in their latest post:
i still chose to live in a building where there is a whole suite set aside for the support of same-sex relationships, even though it's wrong. it doesn't matter what the Bible says, apparently. here, anything goes. even wrong things. morally wrong, spiritually wrong, it doesn't matter.
the same person wrote this on one of their school binders:
"bush won now eat shit and die you stupid hippies"
okay. so i'm a very non-judgmental person...i dedicate much of my life to learning how to accept that not everyone is going to agree with everyone else. it's a huge fact that i'm not going to dispute. and right now, i am very, very sleep deprived so if this post doesn't make a lot of sense, please forgive me.
but i found this person's journal through a friends...and i don't know her personally, i've never met her. actually, she's hundreds of miles away from me right now. but it really hurt so much to read this. and i know that it's her opinion or whatever (even if she doesn't seem to always back it)... but last night when i read this around 4am, i got so upset and do disappointed. i think that sometimes i try to shelter myself from things that i know will upset me...i mean, i dont WANT to live in a bubble where everything agrees with my mind, because then there would be no diversity and no good discussions and whatnot. but this type of things just hurts..."bush won, now eat shit and die you stupid hippies"... and i mean, that doesn't go to say that when i complain about bush or when anyone makes fun of bush that it doesn't hurt the people who support bush. i mean, there are plenty of level headed, smart conservatists and bush supporters. i think this kind of just opened up my eyes...not really the hippy part, because thats just a label for a group of people. but just...the fact that there are people in this world who aren't all about everyone loving each other.
which i am.
it's so hard to live in this world sometimes.
and i am aware that it is completely unreasonable and unlikely and impossible, but really...my dream is that one day we can all just live in peace. in this like, harmonious land where it doesn't matter what you look like, or what you wear, or how you talk. what matters is how big your heart is, and what you're willing to do to work to make the world a better place.
murder, rape, poverty, war...it's all going to continue to happen. it's not something that one person can stop, and it may never stop. people will always be selfish, people will always be psychologically ill...people will always have cold hearts. but all we need to do is be a little more conscious of it all.
ugh. i just can't help it, when i read stuff like that it wrenches my heart. maybe i'm too compassionate of a person. but i can't help it, you just can't help who you are sometimes. i'll never, ever stop working to make this world a more LOVING environment...
