I am too tired to try to think right now. I don't understand why I have been so closed, so blind, so distracted. I am looking the wrong way, along with so many others. We have been duped, we have been tricked. We have done so willingly of course. We are easily distracted by shiny things. We are involved and engrossed in our day to day, our american dreams. We are looking forward to our future. We love ourselves and we are always putting ourselves first in our lives. Do not forget that we coexist. Our choices should reflect good for all those around us, not just ourselves. We have to look past what seems to only effect us and see that it can effect others. Most importantly we need to see this and care. I know that we can live in a good world. But it is going to take a change in the individual. If you are only responsible for making one person's life better, you have the ability to change the world. It is a chain reaction of change for the better. The dominos falling one by one. We, every person, are capable of this. It does not matter what life you have, or had, we all can do good. We can choose right over wrong. We can and we don't. We can all do more and we can all do better. Perfection is not the goal. If you can understand how kindness can change a person, you can see how possible achieving happiness is. Put your time into things that result in joy everyone can share. Do not focus only on things that promote exclusive contentment. To give is to recieve. It is not your job, your responsiblity, to be in charge of other people's lives. But realize that you benefit in this endevor. You don't have to be selfless. We create our own paths out of what is put before us. We are not all on equal plains. We will not all arrive at the same place when its all over. We will not get everything we want. We will have lives filled with things we would rather not deal with. Life is hard, don't make it harder. Things suck, we don't have to make them worse. Bad things happen no matter what. Let's take responsibility for what we can control. Let's take that extra step beyond what we think we have to do. Let's try something new and see how that works. What do we have to lose?
