Society

It trudges on. Breathing Heavily and Lazily, Scared. It looks around every corner, watching it's back

The sludgy beast is modern day Society

Every organism in it are plagued by false presumptions fueled by the media, stories and lies (essentially well told stories)

What people don't understand is that they are scared of each other. They have been fueled by stories that everyone is evil. Every Teenager is a pick pocket. Every scruffy man is a drug addict. And they of course. Will steal your children. Its a sad world we live in. It doesn't help that the media fuels this fire with stories blown out of their depth. 

Unfortunately the world isn't completely safe. Their are people out there that will harm others and destroy lives (Their Moral Opinions and Codes). But that doesn't mean that everyone is evil. If you see someone smile at you while you walk down the street, return the smile without hesitation. I've been to America, To LA. They have every right when I walk by to not smile. They live in a terrible place of crime, because of the flaws in society and the teachings of life. If we all learn to love and help. This world can be a different place. Only you can start to make a difference. Anyone can make a difference if they wish. Just be happy. Be positive. 

And care for every human being and creature

If there is light in the soul,

There will be beauty in the person.

If there is beauty in the person,

There will be harmony in the house.

If there is harmony in the house,

There will be order in the nation.

If there is order in the nation,

There will be peace in the world

- Chinese Proverb

Friendship

Friends keep us going.

It's honest truth. Friends are really important. They make us who we are and they make life interesting. They help us in need and vice versa.  Anyone can be your friend. 

Anyone

So don't judge a book by its cover, you might be missing out on a potential friend

The world would be a better place if we were all friends. People focus on religion, ethnicity to much, not on the human being itself

if only if only

Depression

Why are people Depressed?
If I asked that at a conference full of, anyone really, I'd get a mixed response

- People have problems
- They have a hard life
- ETC ETC

What it really amounts to, the answer that is, is people saying again and again "PROBLEMS"



DEPRESSED PEOPLE = Sick of problems, GIVING IN
It's hard for me to say it, but thats what it amounts to. The Weak will, or the Broken will of people, giving into their problems. We all have problems, we all have different ways of dealing with it. All our problems are different, different sizes, different SOLUTIONS


Thats a golden word, SOLUTIONS. All problems have a solution. It may not be pretty. It may not be fun, but there is a solution. What people who suffer from depression can't handle is the solution .They rather bare the problem and bare for such along time it worsens. They think the solution so unobtainable. When that is far from the truth. Nothing in this life is unobtainable with the right attitude and will power.


People who give in. They are going for the easier (or sometimes harder) way out of things. They give up. Its the truth. They have problems, rather than get through them, show percervierence to a level where they can deal with their problems, the throw in the towel.


Obstacles in life (Problems) are needed for our survival. Problems are what make us, US. Without them, we don't learn and we would not grow. People may sneer and say that their problems are grand and larger than anyone elses. BUT THEY STILL HAVE AN ANSWER. If you dont' throw that towel in, start "Hating" everything in your life, then you can fix it.


LOVE = Common problem amongst nearly every human being on this planet. Wether it be Parent love, Friend love or Love for another human being, for their attention and compassion and to be with them (get into that another time). LOVE is the cause of (when you boil down the problem) a large percent of the "depressional" problems we face today. But there is an answer to everything. You just need to find it/obtain it. Once you do, you realize how stupid it was to waste such time in your life being miserable about something.


Suicide isn't the answer. In fact, your not just throwing the towel in, your cutting it up and burning it. It's also the most selfish thing you can do. You think your alone and you end your life. What about everybody else? Family and Friends, as much as you think that they are against you, they will miss you and want you back. If you are depressed, you do need to talk to someone. Because they help. Fuck the mentality of "Oh I'm not going to see a "shrink" becuase they dont' do anything" Talk to the Psychiatrist, talk to your friends, talk to your parents.


Its no good sinking down on something "bad", a big problems of yours and not telling anyone. Are you seeking that much attention that you let it brewd over time for someone to ask you? Or are you doing everyone a "service" by not involving them? Your friends and family want to be involved. They want to help. Because everything has a solution. A helping hand is always comforting.


Life isn't meant to be easy. If it was, we'd wake up every morning and be catered to or presented the day in the way that we choose and then carry out all the activities we want to. But that isn't life. Life is a gruelling experience, filled with sadness, anger, sorrow. It is also filled with reward, satisfaction and LOVE (there goes that L word again). All of which are obtained at the end of facing and getting past your problems. The road isn't easy, the road is tough. But without these experiences, you are nothing. The bad and hard experiences makes us as a human being.


So remember that as you walk down the street. Smile at everyone you see. Be happy that you are alive, that you can feel ALL the feelings that you can, that no matter what goes wrong you have family and friends (as large or as small as that group may be). That people will listen. That EVERY problem has an answer. That EVERYONE has problems


AND
even though that bird just shat on your shoulder, you don't care

Because life is worth living and at the end of the day - Debt collectors, workers, employees, friends, OBSTACLES
THEY dont' get the satisfaction of taking your free will


your persistance

your smile

they don't get that satisfaction




PS. This is considering those things in the above list are sadistacl people hell bent on taking your pride and freedom

Subject to

Opinion

Everyone has an opinion, and if the world respected them, there wouldn't be as many tragedies like war. Everyone has an opinion and most countries laws give freedom of speech. An opinion, like Right and Wrong are based on a persons Moral Ground.

Everything I've said is an opinion.

Religion is an opinion and people should respects others.

If more people thought of others and realized we wouldn't be slowly killing ourselves in our global "society"

POINT: Respect everyones opinion, even if your own is different (act like you care, has saved me alot of grief)

"Everything is subject to opinion"

Vanity

Do you know there's a Magazine Called "Vanity Fair"

I mean today's society is already so wringed up on vanity and looks

(although people say personality is what counts HA)
That we have a magazine telling us what is "socially acceptable". I go to http://www.vanityfair.com/ to prove if my "judging the text by the cover" was a wrong thing to do

What am i given? Images of models and "attractive (by society standards)" People posing. Theres 50 YEARS OF TRENDS INSIDE THIS ISSUE! YAY! How exciting! A chance for people to see the Fashion the public has been thrown to wear as "the standard" for fifty years! YAY FOR OPRESSION OF APPEARANCE!

Cause when it comes down to it. Thats what it is. Another way of conformity. Another chance for people to tell others WHAT is right. A person wearing purple jeans and a red shirt

:O

HOLY SHIT

RUN FOR IT PEOPLE, they aren't dressing to what our "standards are"

:O

Subcosciosuly by listening to others "proffessionals" telling us what is right, is a way of comformity. People have told me to get hair cuts, people have told me wear things that "match". But why? By walking down the street with short hair that isn't scraggly or "nice" jeans and a "matching (by magazine standards)" shirt will i feel some sort of self fulfilment? Will the 120 DOLLARS i spent on PANTS make me sleep easier at night?

Of course this is my opinion but if you agree with me or call me a hypocrite, listen to yourself the next time you see a homeless person or a "goth" or an "emo"

Id love to see what your thinking/saying then

BE INDIVIDUAL

:D

Imagination

Money and Power.

The two often confused (rightly so) as the same thing. People believe that Money and Power are the greatest forces on this Earth.

They are so wrong.

Imagination...

A word with so many different definitions but the same general idea

My mac dictionary states imagination as

-the ability of the mind to be creative or resourceful

This is why the human imagination is the most powerful thing on this Earth. You could be a billionaire with houses on every continent but you could not be nearly as happy as a Seven year old living in poverty. That billionaire may want for nothing and that kid want for everything but he is the luckiest. With age, innocence is ridden and the more you lost your innocence the harder it is to be more imaginative. That seven year old can sit around and think. So can the forty year old billionaire. But what do they think about?
The seven year old mind is riddled with scenes of exploration, adventure, love, action. He has the greatest times. The forty year old thinks of mergers, the stock market, acquisitions.

Which is having the better time? A world governed by your feelings and your head. A world in which you are truly happy, exists in your imagination. Thats why its the most powerful tool of all time.

The greatest pieces of art, literary, music and film come from imagination.

without imagination we wouldn't have creativity or individuality . Our world revolves around imagination, without imagination their would be no money or power (or plans to obtain it)

Imagination is partial key to happiness and living life

It is the most powerful thing on this Earth

and we all need it
