lovelately i've learned, my life is not hard. i've gone through some tough times, but nothing's really bad. i turn on the tv and all i see is death. everytime i hear of a couple losing a child, i almost cry, the thought of losing my own someday is more than i can bear. as americans we take everything in life for granted. freedom of speech. freedom of the press. we say what we want, whether it hurts someone else or not. take the media for instance. we think of ourselves first. we think we have it hard beacause once, long ago, we lost a friend. we neglect to see life through someone else's perspective. the little boy who's parent's were shot in front of him because they renounced the government. the little girl who was taken from her family because they couldn't pay their taxes. in reality our life is a bed of roses compared to other parts of the world. Zimbabwe, South Africa, Iraq, Iran etc.
in america we have something called the "American Dream." the rest of the world only knows survival. in america we crush all who get in our way of reaching our goal. it seems that "less fortunate" people than ourselves truly know how to be happy, even in their hellish existence. instead of an "american dream" they have something much more meaningful. Honour, Integrity, Brotherhood and most importantly Love. in modern day america love is just a myth passed on from our forefathers.
these are my thoughts regarding life, many of you will know that what i say is true. and the other's... well you'll see someday. the truth is out there, now which road will you chose?
