The World Around Me
Written on Apr 03


The world around me leaves me with such a disdain for humanity. As much as this web site says otherwise, I'm generally a happy person with a good life. I do my best to take everything with a grain a salt, even life and it's perpetual negativity. The stories chronicled on this web site are not meant to be taken seriously, and even though I believe in the topics I write about, this site is more about my writing. I have a way with words, in the form of writing as well as speaking. This is one of my natural talents, and I'm exhibiting it for the world to see. I'm not writing for fame or popularity, I'm writing because I enjoy it and most of all, I want to learn how to become a better writer.

Take a look at the world around us. How many people right now actually (and honestly) enjoy their life? How many people understand and attempt to further their natural talents? And how many people give a fuck about progressing their mind, body, and soul?

I can ask more rhetorical questions, but I'm sure you get the point. I'm dumbfounded that humans nowadays still participate in meaningless acts of violence. We punch, kick, stab, maim, and kill each other like hungry Neanderthals. All for what? Because we don't understand? Or because we cannot agree on something? How is this any different than what little kids do on the playground? Or what gorilla's do in the wild? I don't think humanity has evolved one bit. Sure, we got our planes, cars, computers, electronics, our brilliant inventions, but we still have muggings, rapes, thefts, murders, war crimes, and more negativity than any of us could ever fathom. The negativity on this planet over-shadows the small light of positive energy we all carry. But it's our fault for letting the negativity dominate!

Fighting the negativity in this world is an up hill battle. Most of us acknowledge there is a problem, but what do we really do about it? We either admonish the problem with words and do nothing through action, or medicate ourselves with the plethora of illicit drugs and chemicals available. We walk around like zombies, not asking questions. We all walk in our straight lines and do what we're told. We inherently know Earth sucks, yet we shut our mouths and bid our time. We are depressed mental zombies. This is not the way our lives should be led. We have far more potential as a species than this, so why do we continue to bring ourselves down?

The two most important things to me are time and knowledge. Time is irreplaceable and unforgiving. So why forsake it? Carpe Diem! I make the most out of the time I have. I experience life to the fullest. What do I get out of life at the end? Knowledge. Knowledge is the only thing I take with me everywhere I go. All these material possessions like my computer, my car, my apartment, my money; they are all fleeting. They come and they go. Yet, when I look out my window right now, I see humans struggling to attain houses, cars, and most of all: money. Nobody cares about educating themselves further. We use education just to get our trivial material possessions, then we put education to the side once we achieve what we desire.

And in this big, bad, greedy, ugly world of negativity, I sit in my room alone pondering. I question everything and try to make a difference. I teach receptive minds. I reach out to the followers and give them guidance. I guide those who need guidance, and help those who require help. But really... who am I? I'm no God. I'm just one kid trying to make a difference. So is it wrong of me to ask for a little help?
