First Thought

The first thing that comes to mind is to let it all out...
but, I realize that to do so would jeopardize this blog-spot and shut off any sort of response to my written expressions.

I am what is to be considered a good natured person. I believe in a lot, and for the fist time I am willing to say a lot. I have never been the one to stand up at a public forum, however this is a little more acceptable seeing as how I am not standing in a sea of prying eyes.

Why is it that we.....
Why is it that we as a society are stricken with poverty, not a lack in financial status but a loss of self. We are all loosing in the battle of self-worth, if we were to try a little harder to care for others than to worry so much about what we can get for stepping on the other person that wants to succeed with us, our society wouldn't be in the situation that it is in now. Turning your back on family and friends just to make a name for yourself is running close on self mutilation. People are so unhappy with what they have that they are always looking around the corner for the next best thing. The only thing is you don't realize that what you have could be ten times greater than what someone else has. If you always look for something better you will always be looking. Am I saying don't be successful? NO of course not everyone needs to prosper and be able to provide for their families. What I am saying is there is more than enough to go around. If you alienate everyone that truly cares for you and your well being you will end up miserable. Do you have to be humanitarian of the year? No again, but does it really hurt to be positive in all that you do, and to lend a helping hand when needed? My father told me that in the times of the Civil Rights movement African Americans helped each other so that they would all be a success. They were all on each others albums and works because they were unable to get the well off whites to help with what they needed. The point is if we all help to lift each other up instead of tear each other down our society can move forward.

Remember its not what you say you can do, but what you actually do. Don't let you destroy the possibility of an even greater you.

What does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul...
