The World

It is painful for me to see the war-infested world I live on. It seems that anywhere I look there is a new conflict. Children die, families are separated, people are raped and murdered, yet it seems that the world’s main concern is to find an easy way to lose weight and to figure out a way to make more money. Our priorities seem so senseless. But, what can we do? Can we change the world? Should we solely read sad and depressing news so we don’t feel guilty for ignoring the cruel reality of the world? It is hard. What to do? What to feel? Clearly there are more questions than answers. I feel society is extremely detached from what is real, from what really matters. As corny and cliché as it sounds people forgot to stop and smell the roses. There was a time when man and women were only dependent on nature, a time where people still appreciated and understood the importance of survival and how much they depended on each other and the planet. Now, everything is disposable and we blatantly rape the earth, we deceit each other and turn our back when we are more needed in the world. Still we wake up every day and most of us try to make the best out of the ride, that’s the beauty of it. I love life and I love this planet with all the stupid people that live in it.

I once wanted to change the world but then I realized I could only change myself.
