Divided
One person I admire the most, who inspired me to become who I am today, preached to me that she hates warfare. Conflicts that are not aimed at solving problems. The hate between people in general.
She loves nature, animals, hanging out with friends, telling stories, dancing even without sound, music, art…
If I was to describe her, in short, few words — I would say she has a beautiful SOUL.
I have never met anyone similar, and since I find the world really crazy at this time, I hope she doesn’t change or at least gets corrupted by the current vile state of the people.
And thanks to her, I think I’ve improved a lot, and seek to improve even further. So every day I think about the bad things I do, and the bad things I encounter.
I’ve noticed we blame each other, we divide ourselves by groups, any types of groups, and we judge others based on this. Wars waged on opinions, taste?
Yet we stand proud like we have achieved goodness. Oblivious not to the ignorance and delusion that grows within us.
I dreamed many times of what the world could be if everyone would listen instead of barking.
And I know this is harsh and wrong to say, but I do feel most words are wasted. Why do I think it has come to this, that even tho each individual has an amazing story and potential, and plenty of wisdom to share, what comes out when the lips move, should never have been uttered or is frivolous.
I believe two factors haunt us, laziness and forgetfulness.
We have so much information drilled in our skulls, but we can’t have it active at all times. You need to know and be aware of something at a particular time. Whether that be about yourself, about your morals, about other people, or the world in general. We know many quotes or rules that we want to follow, but in moments that matter, we forget them and do the opposite.
And I truly believe most if not all people are capable of some greatness. We can blame the government or another group of people for holding us back, why not. It's easy enough to not be responsible for your own life.
Why would anyone go out running, read books, do something productive, when you can lie down in your underwear, in your comfortable bed, and relax, and critique other people, as if we hold the knowledge of the universe.
I would love most of all if we would hold wisdom as the highest quality to aspire to, then maybe we could respect each other for what we are and unite together against corruption and pride. But there is so much ignorance and self-righteousness to go around and I do not see a light at the end of the tunnel. Hope I am wrong, as always.
