Sometimes I Wonder....

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if we always got what we wanted. Our world would be in havoc! It really isn't possible. Say one person wanted government to keep control of things and a more free-spirited person wanted government to vanish. It isn't possible for two contradictory things to happen at the same time. Another example: say one person wanted smoking to be prohibited everywhere while another person wanted smoking to be permitted everywhere. It just isn't possible. This is what causes conflict. Everyone wanting something different. Some might be on the same side, but we all have an idea of what the perfect world would be like. Perfect to us, anyways. The world is a scary place. We are in the safe haven of our mother for nine months and then, BOOM! We are rudely awakened into a world of noise and poverty and conflict. And some people expect us to love the world? I mean, all humans enter the world the same way, but we all expect each other sometimes to act like the world is fine the way it is. We are hypocrites. Don't deny that you are a hypocrite too. We all are. It's human nature to say something to act wise and smart, just so we appear superior over everyone else. It's a different story if you are humble about it, but that doesn't change the fact that some of us are two, three, four different people, depending on where we are: school, church, home, wherever you go. And congratulations to all who live humbly. I applaud you, because that is truly an accomplishment. Now you just need to help others live humbly, as much as you can. Changing the world--now that, my friends, is a difficult thing to do. Billions and billions of people would need to listen in on a message so powerful and so life-changing that hearts would be mended, lives and feelings be healed. Is it possible? It is if everyone WANTS the world to change. If everyone wants it to change, and we worked to change it, everyone would get what they wanted in the end. Now that is one thing that is possible, if what all of us wanted was the world to be a better place. The world can't be perfect, no way. But we need to be the generation that influences generations to come, and maybe one day the world WILL have more love. Less racism. Less poverty. More acceptance. More willingness. More happy families. Enough sunshine for everyone when they need it most. Enough happiness. Enough laughs. Enough infinity.
