1am ramblings

So my random ramblings this morning is, why does the thing that gives you the most joy in life, give you the most pain?
Why must the thing you love soo much be the main cause for your tears? It's sad that something can have such power over you, so much power that it makes you break down in tears; so much power that it has the power to make you want to give up on life. Or maybe that's just me. Maybe I just need to leave it, maybe I just need to just quit, maybe I'll feel free, Maybe I will be happier. But maybe the world needs to stop judging, maybe the world needs to stop putting your small hope out. But, hah, this is a cruel and vindictive world, a world that only cares for itself, even though i care too much for it. Maybe it's time to let go. No, It's time to let go. Just let go.

2AM Random Ramblings

So my 2am question is, we pray for sinners so they can find the right path and so the lord can forgive them but, what about the biggest sinner there ever was? Who prays for him? His Crime was treason... he was a traitor, but no one prays for him, is it because as humans we feel he doesnt deserve it or because as humans we need someone to blame for our faults, our sins?  In all the books I've read.... Lucifer's only sin was treason... yet we call him the ultimate sinner, we blame him for everything... but What if he's just lonely? What if someone had prayed for him, maybe he would have a little hope, maybe he'd try to do right by the world.

The Greatest Speech Ever Made

I'm sorry but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black men, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each others' happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men's souls; has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge as made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man; cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all.

Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say "Do not despair." The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder! Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men---machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have a love of humanity in your hearts! You don't hate! Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.

Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it's written "the kingdom of God is within man", not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power.

Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfill their promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfill that promise! Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.

What kind of Generation is this?

Hey crazies,

Ok so today i saw something that made me sad. A young man was cursing his grandmom after she dropped some eggs. Even i can see it was a mistake, and she's very old and she was carrying many bags, while he was carrying only two. And instead of helping her, he decides to curse her. It made me so sad, because i lost my grandma last year and to see him treat her like that made me so angry. So i bought some eggs and gave him it and told him that he was an ungrateful guy and that someday karma will give him what he deserves and you know that if i ever see him do that again, i'll twll my brothers to deal with him. I'm not a saint but my parents raised me to be a decent child and along with scouts taught me to help others. So it's in my blood. But it had me thinking that this generation is the worst.
"The first part of solving any problem, is recognizing we have one"
This is an age where you're ridiculed for being a virgin, laughed at for having morals, called nerds as if intelligence is disgusting, called freaks for being different, called weird for loving to read and not watching television. It's a generation where speaking properly is snobbish, where girls feel the need to dress provocatively to get a male's attention, where guys disrespect women as a form of affection, an age where the old are out living the future generations. A time where it's easier to steal than get a job, where dropping out of school is cheaper than getting an education. A time where race is more important than friendship and political ties are more important than family. A time where one persons disgrace makes it ok to shun an entire religion. There was a time when helping the poor meant something moe than publicity and doing a good deed didn't mean getting something in return. A time where children respected their elders and the elders set a good example. A time where a community could be just that, a community. Now its a war zone, divided through politics. A time when freedom meant something. Now we're all slaves to our own making. A time where we encouraged children to strive for greatness like Mandela, Armstrong, Pele, Jane Austin; but now they strive to be like Kanye, Kim K., Miley Cyrus, Justin Beiber. What has this earth come to when having a boyfriend defines your worth, and how many girls you've slept with makes you even more popular? This is the age where a girl is considered a dyke if she's a little boyish, where apparently guys aren't allowed to do anything girlish( not even play with their sisters) because its considered "gay". A time where we descriminate against someone's sexual orientation, where you not only descriminate but harass and emotionally abuse them.
Yeah i know most of these things have been around a very long time, but its more prevalent now. We say we're advancing towards the future. But at what cost? It's like the more we develop the less humane we get. You cling to your religion, brandishing it as a weapon to hurt others, but yet preach about not doing harm to another? That is pure hypocrisy... I'm not saying the world is lost, Because there are many people who still value morals and family and being a good human. But what i am saying is that if people do not open their eyes and see what they're doing to the world, then we will have a future of chaos and distrust.
And if you're going to take offense to this post or misinterpret what I am saying. Then go ahead and be ignorant and then take a second to look at yourself and ask yourself why did you get angry, if what i said isn't true?
One pebble at a time can cause a ripple that some day will become a wave, so take a stand and try to make this world better, if not for anyone, but do it for yourself and your future generations.

Crazy and insanely fun

The Moon

So I had this Dream last night, and I thought I'd share it.
It started with me and a little girl about 10 years old, having a conversation. This is how it went.
Girl: why does the wolf howl at the moon.
Me: I don't know.
Girl: why not?
Me: Because I can't say for certain.
Girl: so why do you think he howls at the moon.
Me: I believe he's sad and angry, and he howls to let it out. I believe he lost someone close to him, and he looks to the moon at night and remembers her. He howls at the moon his frustrations, and sadness that maybe she is up there and she can hear him. I think he wishes one day to see her again.
Girl: why?
Me: Because he loves her.
Girl: that's sad.
Me: it is.

So yeah, I don't know why, but when I awoke, I was so sad that I cried.
