Motivation

It has dawned on me today the ramifications into what makes us humane. We have been grown, in my generation, to become selfishly involved into the politics, global and social issues, and life itself. We have built upon the precedent that the strongest come on top and that everything else is second best. We have lost track to whom we are, really. We must realize that we as individuals alone stand as nothing, but built upon together make a union. 


I do not understand, maybe it is that I am still young and naive, the world as it is now. We live in a society where we want so much such as "going green" and conservation of energy. We get upset at government for not doing enough to maintain the world we live in, as we walk past with our picket signs waving "recycle" as we pass paper cups without consideration of picking them up. We want government to solve our world's problems without taking personal responsibility to doing it ourselves. It all starts with us. We continue to go to war trying to spread democracy from country to country without hesitating to the factors that life as we know is becoming dissipated with intolerance and little sympathy of histories mistakes. We can not change the textbooks of our time, but we can alter our perceptions of what it can become.


It becomes all too easy to sit and watch the world pass. To give judgements as we sit at our televisions waiting for the next breaking news. Watching countries fight other countries, and where the word "war" is far too common. As missiles fire and more and more families die we just watch and forget that this is the world we choose to make it. As we send out loved ones out to fight and reflect on pictures they send back we can begin to realize that the world is turning to hatred when the strongest power is love. There are establishing countries that lack food and water and yet instead of trying to seek adequate living for all we are fighting a war in which should enable peace and understanding. 


We far to often seek to help others without trying to understand. I believe, now, we are living in a world with misunderstandings. We all have the same goals of positivity, success,  and love, but we mask them behind our insecurities of fear, but for what? 


We can continuously make excuses to stop ourselves from our biggest goals in life. The soup kitchen you want to volunteer at, travel the world, try new foods, or help other people. But, when does the inside voice finally lose and your heart speak? Why not set time away now for the movements you want to do before they are too late. Life is way to short to sit back wondering when the next good thing in your life is going to appear, it really is. Months, years, its too late... continual movement and process is pressing for more beginnings and that positive spread for hope to others to see. 


Although easier said than done, we need to step away from the constant negativity and realize that it is a lot easier to give in to that continuous cycle, but once set free the world to positivity and enlightenment is attainable. In that, we need to understand each other. Realize that being upset over misunderstandings can lead into unnecessary arguments and exchanges of hatred that never was fully intended. That we all, all over the world, have reason to love and care for one another. That being ourselves in life is what is intended and that sometimes all we need is ourselves to make the initial steps towards happiness to spread the message that we all live in this world together, and we need to stop thinking solely on just our generation but future generations for our childrens' children.
