enough time left
maybe it's just me who thinks this way, but I don't know, I highly doubt it.
whenever you see something, like The Duggars, or an old film or documentary where everyone is the same, dresses the same and acts the same, and never asks any questions, do you ever think thatif it was you in that place you would be different? that you would question the reasons for everything and take a stand?
I know that now we have the opportunities to be all like, "hey, what does that even mean?" or "no I don't want to do that becasue it goes against what I think I should do"
but in the fifties when black people didn't have the same rights, if you saw a black person being ridiculed or beat would you have tried to put a stop to it? I would like to think that I would.
or if you were in a family where God was the center and everything else fell at the wayside and you had to dress the same, act the same, wear your hair the same, would you rebel? would you question the existence of something out there? I would like to think that I would.
but the reality of it is, would I really have enough sense, not to mention balls, to stand up to something that pretty much rules my entire life? I want to say yes. I want to say that, of course I would be that girl who would rebel against what people have tried to instill in her since birth. But if I am comfy in a certain lifestyle, then I get lazy. when I get lazy, I get indifferent. and then obviously I don't care about anything at all.
but I want to caer about something. I want to be able to stand up for something that I believe in straight down in my core. I want to feel the adrenaline pulsing through my veins when I shout for whatever it is I so strongly believe in. I don't even know what I believe. political religious, love, any of it. I have no solid belief structure.
but the one thing that I hate is all the Jew jokes all the time. Yeah some of them are funny. and some of my friends never go overboard. But then some of them, it's just like... what are you saying? stop talking.
this is now me rambling.
thought of the day over.
sigh, Smile Pretty.
