It is devastating. Devastating of what our society has came to be. Our society lacks so many things that we as people, do not even think about, or have for that matter. Courage, determination, importance, encouragement, and love, for ourselves. We now, have learned to hate ourselves more than ever. So many hateful things are poured down onto our minds like coffee into a cup. In a way, it's like studying. The more and more you study, the more it should, and will stick to you. We should be filling our heads with comments that are able to keep us going in life, not put us down. But, society today, has taught us differently. It's taught, or should I say only told, us that we aren't worth what we speak and that if we aren't like a certain other person, then our value is absolute trash. But, that's wrong. I have so many things that ponder in my mind that I would love to say, but why don't I say them? Because I know that no matter what I say, I can't change someone's mind set and how they think, whether it is about their self, or life in general. I want to help people so badly, show them that our society has taught wrong, but we've naturally grown up with those words in our heads. But, I can and will say this, I as a person, know that I have a purpose for being in the position that I am in. There is a purpose for every millisecond of our lives, we just don't seem to notice. Hate is a very strong, and hurtful word. And with that, it is the last word that you should think and categorize yourself with. There is always going to be one person in the world that loves you, whether it may be a mother, a father, brother, sister, friend, cousin. But, should I say will love you, and that one, is God. I drill in my head everyday that everything I do has purposes and that I know God will lead me in the path that's been chosen for me. It's hard, but it's just something that needs to be done. We naturally think this way about ourselves though; hate. And, it goes far back, to the next person and so on, that we have hated ourselves do to others. We let ourselves think they're right. And this, shows how much hatred everyone has gained, not only for themselves, but for others. But, we all need to step up, and be nice and generous to others. There is no reason to be mean. Being nice has so many advantages, but it also makes you respect and love yourself more as a person. But, always remember, you cannot please everyone.

Picture this scenario:

You're outside of a steal door. On the other side of this door, is a white room with a friend in there. You've been granted one wish and you wish to be on the other side. (Yes I know that's what I wouldn't wish for but just picture it. I would wish for the person to be out but just listen)
So now you're on the other side and you noticed a window. A glass window. And you thought wow, I could just break it. So you go over to and and break it, with your hand in the process being cut to pieces. And they escape, but a steal slide shuts up the window and there is literally nowhere you can go and now you're trapped. But, the friend doesn't know and will most likely go happy on their little way, and you're left there with a bleeding hand. The obvious thing to do would be taking off a piece of clothing and wrapping it but that's besides the point.

I guess what I mean is there are other ways you can help people by approaching things differently as well. While I would have just wished them out, some would have went through the process and been in a swirling mess. But, on top of that is this. Sometimes people have to take care of their own problems, meaning in this scenario, the person should have came to a conclusion to break the window SOONER OR LATER. Others aren't needed to fix a problem. If anything that person needs simply support while they're in it, but they should be the ones to fix it, not another person. It'll teach you something Teach you that it's great to help others, but sometimes you get yourself hurt or in a mess you can't escape in the process. Now, I'm not saying YOU CAN'T HELP WHAT SO EVER. But, what I am saying, is in THIS scenario, don't go the extra mile to accomplish their problem. Your problem? Yes, do it. But some people need to learn by doing it themselves. And once you aren't there to help, they'll be lost. I've kind of went all over the place on this one. This is long, I'm going to end it here.
