Your hands tied, your mouth glued shut as you sit and watch people tear each other apart. Why? What are they honestly gaining from it other than making someone else’s life more miserable than their own? Seriously, does it make them happy to see another person in pain? This world is truly messed up but not because of the cruelty, hatred and killing being done by people we do not know but rather the people that we trust and care about the most. Pain turns to anger, anger turns to cruelty, and cruelty turns to meanness which is what this world is all about. You turn on the television, what do you see? It is filled with someone shooting another out of anger, someone hitting their wife because they have had a bad day, and the worst of all is a parent taking the life of their own child. What did that child do to deserve their life being ripped away? Love their parent too much? Being too innocent? It honestly comes down to someone being mad, not being able to handle their emotions or anger so they take it out on the nearest and dearest person to them.
I sit daily and watch what people write hurtful words on a screen whether it is on a social networking site, a gaming site or across my messenger, and it honestly breaks my heart by realizing that people simply do not care because they do not know them in person. They do not realize that there is a person on the other side of that screen with a real heart that can truly be broken as easily as theirs. Are people truly becoming that heartless in this world? Does a person simply pick what they want to care about, and if the other people aren’t involved in that then they don’t deserve to be cared about? It’s crazy, plain and simple. People are always griping about the world we live in yet they cannot seem to step up and help it become a better place.
I was raised that two wrongs does not make a right while you see people doing it all the time, and then want to tell people that “Karma” will pay them back while they do not realize that they are right. Karma is paying them back because they are getting back what they dished out even though it should not be like that. Just because someone hurt you doesn’t mean that you have to be like them but rather be the big person, and simply say “I am sorry” whether you are right or wrong. Does being right really mean that much? Will it make your richer? Be a better person? Will it change the situation or bring a relationship back? No! However; simply saying I am sorry, and letting it go can take you a lot further. I have been guilty of doing this myself, and I will be honest, it has cost me a lot in my life which taught me a lot at the same time.
I know that I cannot change the world but if I can help one person see that hurting another is wrong in all fashion and shape, I have done what I set out to do which is to help control the anger, meanness, and cruelty in this world. I know everyone has a heart but life has put up a wall or a shield around it to protect it which is what causes people to get hurt. I have had so much hurt in my life while I refuse to allow the pain to change my tending, caring and loving heart because if I do then they have won. I believe that God gave me my tender heart to make a difference in this world, to show people that pain and suffering should not stop us from loving, and anger shouldn’t change who we are or allow us to hurt another.
Be responsible, think long and hard before you speak, and if you have to, walk away because nothing good ever comes out of speaking in anger except for regrets. Allow your heart to overrule your mind when angry, and choose your words wisely. I have seen too many people lose their spouses because they allow their words to flow way too freely which usually causes that person to walk away, and leave them with a life of what ifs. Let’s create a better place to live while allowing our hearts to be healthier and happier. A happier life starts within our own hearts!
