When I was younger, I thought the human race was a beautiful and broken sort of thing. And in some ways, it is. It really is. Of course it is broken. What isn't. But as I get older the beauty seems to be less evident. We live in a fast paced selfish world. And it's hard not to get caught in the strong whirlwind mindset that the world revolves on your very breath. Everyone is so conceited so selfish so unforgiving so human. And it disgusts me each time I see it. Where did this idea come from that if someone hurts you, you have the right to hurt them back just as much. "Why stick up for the kid who made fun of you?" Because everyone you meet is struggling. And everyone needs each other. And there's a reason that person is the way they are. And they are just as precious and fragile as you are. Maybe next time we see our breath evaporating into the air, we'll realize that everyone's breath is evaporating, and if we don't decide to help one another out and love each other, our breath won't have to evaporate. Because we won't be here. This world is dependant upon love and care. Not only of the world itself, but of the people who roam it. The people who are just like me and just like you. So next time you decide to let that kid get bullied, cause he obviously deserves it, think about how they are human and so are you. Get up and stand up. Maybe if we stop living for ourselves, we would see what life is really about.
Do not say, "I'll do to him as he has done to me. I will pay that man back for what he did". Proverbs 24:29
your beautiful.
