I'm back. FINALLY.

In this short life of mine I have MANY mistakes. I've grown and learned from those. I also know that I haven't learned everything there is to know and I am still very IGNORANT to so many things. That is why I'm on a constant search for knowledge. In a hungry state to know more about how the world works and its inhabitants. I don't believe in wasting this amazing brain I've been given on numbing it with propaganda, reality shows, who's wearing what, etc., I've also, grown compassion for those beings less fortunate than us that don't have a say in their fate. It is so discouraging at times to come across the know-it-alls of this world that refuse to open their minds to the possibility that things aren't really as they seem. That animals do hurt and cry when young is separated from its mother or when taken into a slaughterhouse or hunted just because it's tasty. It is barbaric and inhumane. It is discouraging because that same closed mind is causing so much suffering on this planet. Innocent lives, human and animal, lost on a daily basis because of a difference in opinion. Resources are being depleted, ecosystems lost all because of man's greed. I constantly ask myself, "are people EVER going to wake up?" Or are we just going to sit around and wait for someone else to do something about our current state of affairs?, and in the meantime, we rape our environment. It's very easy to say, "YOU'RE an environmentalist" as if it's a choice. The last time I checked, WE ALL LIVE HERE, TOGETHER. We all breathe the same air, and eat from the same land. When did it become someone else's issue and not EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY? It's amazing what benefit a little awareness can bring. The sad part is that most people are just too proud and closed to open to just a little bit of information. I ask myself why. Why is it so difficult to lend a hand? Why is everyone stuck in a bubble of ignorance? Is it all the STUFF we're too busy with? Looking for constant approval on facebook and instagram? Afraid that if we don't have the latest piece of technology, we won't be accepted? Are our lives THAT empty that we constantly need to blast our every move to total strangers online, but won't give a homeless person something to eat? Why is it that the human connection has been so lost? Will we ever recover it? This isn't meant to offend anyone, just raise questions within ourselves. To look deeper within our minds and seek answers for the benefit of all, not just our immediate circle. Everything we do in this life affects everyone else, whether you believe that or not, it's a fact. We are all interconnected. We all hurt the same and we all laugh the same. Have we all been so conditioned by this material society that our spiritual ties have been completely severed? We are all spiritual beings aside from religion. We all have the same basic human needs. Something to think about......... I'm done with my rant thanks for reading.
