I wrote this blog after seeing a multitude of examples of people hurting others and doing all they could to better themselves at the expense of others. It's an angry little bit so I apologize in advance for that.
Are we all so desperate for something that we continue to do whatever we think we have to in order to find some sort of meaning in this thing that we call life?
Examples are around us every day of people just making their way through life with no idea of what it is that they are actually truly wanting or following on the dreams that they held onto so fervently as a child.
Are things so bad in our world or individually that it is easier to give up than it is to search for meaning anymore?
As humans we all have pain, we all have love, we all have disappointment, we all have despair, we all have hope, we all have loss, we all have anger and so many other things.
But with the gifts that surround us is it too much to expect that the pain that seems to be so prevalent in life would or could somehow become less?
I was trained to think that pain was a worthwhile feeling because it reminded us that we are still alive. In instances of physical pain that is true but in the matter of emotional or spiritual pain it can have the exact opposite effect. It can drive us to do things that we normally wouldn't. It can drive us into a place where darkness is a welcome break from the light that we so often look for.
What in the hell happened to our world that trust and faith in something or someone has to be earned rather than given. Why are the actions of betrayal and self betterment so prevalent on the minds of the majority of society?
When did walking over the weaker become acceptable so that a person could get to a higher status? When did we lose the true nature of love, peace, harmony and brotherhood that so many great things were built upon? Shouldn't it be more acceptable to see the person that puts a hand out to help the weaker person rise rather than those that beat people down inch by inch and life by life?
When it gets to the point that I start to wonder what I fought for, what I lost countless loved ones for I know that I need to step away and find a much bigger way to make a change.
It would be easy if each person would help one other person. To show the benevolence that got a great deal of us to where we are. But humanity as a whole doesn't do this. It's sadly a very small percentage of people that do try in any way to make a difference that will not have a benefit to them.
So it is reliant upon those small percentages to make that change. To show
that there is more in this world than nice cars, big screen TVs, celebrity
and unending wealth.
Unfortunately that small percentage are going to be hurt, criticized and persecuted for their efforts but it is with a resolve that the general masses do not have that will make this small group of soldiers fight back and defeat the continuous armies that are there to stop us.
I will stop my bitching now. I hope this makes sense.
