Why don't we follow this affirmation? We have gotten entirely too bogged down with making money and spending it that we have forgotten about what living truly is.
Maybe I'm just rambling. Maybe I just needed to vent. Maybe I'm supposed to be telling you this. Maybe I just don't give a....
Okay. The reason for this post today is simply to bring back awareness and spread the message that we need to start thinking about fun more than we do about a bill. Our days on this earth are limited and quite small. We need to give back to others as well. When did the amount of money you have determine the quality of care you were going to receive or whether you would live or die?
I was listening to Tom Joyner this morning and there was a story about a small clinic that had to shut their doors for a period of time because the workers and counselors walked out and there was no one to man or woman their stations. Because of this, hundreds of people who frequented that clinic (for free) missed out on urgent and essential care.
Many made comments stating we didn't know the circumstances surrounding the walk out but I can still speculate it had something to do with money. I know for certain that they didn't walk out because they wanted to get a V-8. Anyway, it made me ponder on how we have centered our society around money.
It's because of money that we have good or bad days, stressful or wonderful chapters in life, and have to sacrifice and budget. There is nothing wrong with having a medium of exchange but when that medium causes you to betray your principles and values to steal and kill we have a problem Houston.
I really could be over thinking this. I could honestly be going off the deep end and allowing this one story to affect me in such an emotional way because I'm on my MANustration. I don't know. What I do know is that I really dislike how our nation is evolving.
Do you ever think about how life will be in 25 years? 2039. Well Apophis may have either destroyed us or we may be living in peace and merriment where everyone gets along and helps each other in need. (insert chirping crickets) Seriously, things are crazy and hectic now so imagine how things will be in the years to come. Things must get worse before they can get better.
I'm not trying to be pessimistic about our lives but I do feel that we should enrich each other's life instead of contributing to the inadequacy that so many individuals feel trying to "measure up" to fantasy created by the very people who despise it.
Was the world supposed to end up like this or did it become this way because of our own free will and intelligence? THINK. THINK HARDER. There has been a consistent change each century in the people that have lived through each one. It seems today everything that we do relies on technology. Just when we thought technology has peaked, something else comes up that fortifies our dependence on it.
Children are born into this and know nothing else. They are forgetting what books feel like, how the pages yield a stale but nostalgic aroma, the feeling of the cold cover, and the sound of the pages as they turn onto each other. They are forgetting about tree houses, mud pies, and hide -n-seek because they now have Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds, and Line Runner. The only exploring they do is with Dora and the only tools they see is Manny's. Seven year olds have Instagram accounts and are changing their statuses to "in a relationship" on Facebook.
What's going on?
It's time to take back our lives and live them like we won't wake up tomorrow. It's not promised anyway.
The human condition is not so human anymore.
I wanted to end this post with a bang, so here it goes: BANG.
