But yet, my mind still moves at 120 mph, and it beckons me to this computer to write another missive that only few will read and even if more would read, would they even take a moment to affect change? For many people, this blog would probably come off as whining or at the very least, displeased with my current situation. But, this one's not about me, this one's about society. It seems to me that if I don't get some of this out now, it's going to end up driving me insane.
I look around this world and I see so many things wrong with the place. Think about it, in this world, we have violence, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, sexual abuse, murder, robbery, rape, lying, deceiving, and all of these millions of other horrible things that humanity has done to one another. When God put us on this world in the very beginning, is this what He intended for us? I somehow doubt it, and I don't think He'd be very happy with what his children have done with his beautiful world. I'm not a perfect person, and anyone who knows me would tell you that. But what I can tell you is this, I try my best to live my life as Jesus Christ would have wanted me to do so. Sometimes, I fail. Sometimes, I am prone to anger. Sometimes, I have a short temper especially with my parents and those close to me. I'm human, but I do try to affect change in my family and my friends and the people that are around me.
Seriously, I think that is the only way that we can thrive as a society. If each person tries to address just one of their flaws, I think the world would be a much better place. Now, I'm not saying we need to go soft on those who commit serious crimes against humanity. I'm sorry but if you have the urge to have sex with or hurt a kid, you deserve to be castrated and killed. If you murder or rape others, you deserve to be castrated and killed. But, other than those serious crimes, there's a lot of those little crimes that we commit every day on one another. When we lose our patience with one another, how much better would it be to take a deep breath and try again to regain that patience we have lost? When we lie and deceive, it is not that hard to live your life straight up and be honest with one another, so why don't we do it? I think, as human beings, we do whatever we can to make things the easiest possible way on ourselves. But, my friends, life is not easy. As Rocky Balboa said in the last movie, "You, me, or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanent if you let it. It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how many times you can get hit and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done." Sometimes, Rocky's a lot smarter than me, I think. Anyways, if you read this, try to move forward. Try to evolve and be a better person. Value yourself. Trust in yourself. Keep moving forward. That's all I really have to say, and I apologize for rambling like this. I hope you can understand if you're reading that it comes from a good place, and I want the best for all of my friends and family who may end up reading this one.
