MY THOUGHTS...
Lately, well this week more than usual... I have had mostly sad thoughts. I have so many questions and no satisfying answers to put my poor brain to rest. See... my problem is simple, I get too deep into 'the what's not right in this world' and then I brood over that till kingdom come.
Does it frighten me to be human? yes, it scares me a lot. We do not know what we are capable of. I know good things and bad things have to coexist, and call me naive but I really wish for a world free from war, hate, disease and famine.
I am trying to enclose my mind around all the atrocities that have taken place in the past and the present one...(see my life?) Trying to find explanations to all the wars, I have taken time to educate myself and research about them and all these governments to get a logic explanation but no matter how much I want to believe its bigger than man...the answer is right in front of my eyes... man is the root cause of most evil. My discovery was not new or shocking, it is simple...we are selfish human beings, if it does not concern us then we cannot be bothered. We want power, we want to be esteemed, we want to be feared, we want to be the last one standing. We take and take more than we give, and yet somehow we expect to receive more like we are entitled to it. The people who have done the least to cause these horrid situations have suffered the most for them.
I am not going to name countries, or peoples or governments because we all know of at least one or two countries or a group of people suffering, like that is their sole purpose on this earth...to suffer endlessly! It's like the world has written some peoples off...
What can we do? Us, the small beings only taking up 1% or less of the world's space? In my very unscholarly opinion, I believe in goodness...as much as we all have a dark spot, our good spot has the ability to drown out the dark....so be good, be good politicians, be good citizens, be good leaders wherever you have been placed in this life. Maybe, just maybe one person can start a trend that will leave some "actual earth" for our greatest grand children. I know things take time but who ever believed THEN that slavery, ethnic cleansing, racial segregation among others would be history? or Genocide, rape, child soldiering made international crimes? Someone was good enough to want better for the rest of human kind, whoever that person was, let's join him or her because the world needs good citizens... the world needs peace makers...the world needs YOU.
