One Of Those Days..

Most people don't think so deeply. People in today's world need to have more compassion and affection.

I can really relate to this!

Love it ... And understand where you're coming from ...

I agree with you to a certain extend, life has its ups and downs, sure there are things preventing you from what you want, but most people when they don't get what they want start complaining and fall into self-pity and self-doubt (not all of them) thus they make their own lives miserable.

I know as no other how it is to be bullied, I know as no other how it is to be handicapped, but I don't let that ruin my life. Sure I can't go to a college for game designing, fine, I teach it myself and develop simpler games. Point is, nobody can get the exact life they want, that's where a lot of people give up, they instead should strive for a life as close as possible as they want. That's how you shape your own life. Not looking at clay you don't have but instead use the clay you have to sculpt the life as close as you can to what you want.

What is life about? It's about caring and compassion. It's about not complaining but doing something to make a difference. Too many people complain about how bad things are and how there are so many homeless. I wish these same people would do something to make a difference --- whether it's volunteering at a homeless shelter, donating money or food to the Food Bank or simply doing what you did and stop and talk to someone who's homeless and living on the street. My point is we are all CONNECTED and I don't mean with smartphones and iPads, I mean as human beings. Why do people commit suicide? Because they feel isolated: they have no one to turn to, no one to talk to and no one who will try to understand the pain and loneliness they are feeling. We should all make a better effort to keep in touch with friends and family. If I don't hear from someone I'll call them, email them or write them even if I was the last one to communicate. Also, I pray for people. I'm not getting on a religious soapbox, but I do believe in the power of prayer. When friends are troubled we need to be there for them, to offer them hope, support, love and prayers and this way we can make a difference. Thanks for the post.

You are a very wise young lady who walks around with her eyes opened; who doesn't live in denial as so many do......You have great empathy and compassion....You are a gem.
Great Story !

You're thinking is very valid, but in ready everything you wrote, you are not alone. We all have these same thoughts like you, and some even more so. Whether you are young or older, we have all been in your shoes. There is no easy answer to any of them, but what I have finally learned in my 47 years, is this. We cannot change the world, the way people think or act upon another, and we certainly will never understand the wrongs in this place either. But, what we can do, is try to find everything positive in our own lives, so that maybe it will make us stronger and wiser to the evils out there. We have to find that protection that is needed for us, each individually, and when we find this, we find inner peace. We can accept those who are hateful and/or hurtful, and feel sorry for them because they must be lacking something in their lives they don't make visible to others, like bullys for instance, or the girls who talk about other girls, because they want to hurt them, There is something in that person that they are jealous of, because they lack a good family life, or friends, true friends, or something that want, and can't have, so we need to feel sorry for them and take away their power, by ignoring them and telling them we feel sorry for them. It's like a fire cannot continue without fuel, so don't give them fuel. As for people who suffer poverty, its a sad thing, but everyone has the choice to change the pattern, and anyone that can help in the smallest way, should, or close your eyes and pretend it doesn't exist. You have a true heart and a good soul. Look inside and find that strength that makes you who you are, and then the good things will come your way, even if you try to help one of these concerns that bothers you so dearly. You will find you will fill your heart and your head with good thoughts and feelings, instead of sadness and confusion to the worlds demons. Best of everything to you! ox

This is some real deep thinking that I can connect with and I'm sure i've thought the majority of this at different points of my life.

Here's the thing: I had several 7th grade classmates that were mean to me that didn't even graduate from HS and I'm now a University graduate so I consequently believe it catches up to them in due time.

A perfect post...and a perfect 30/30 Rate-ups to Viewers ratio ta boot too! =3

I don't think anyone could have written this any better. Life is unfortunate and it is sooo sucky to see stuff like this happen but the one thing I think you forgoten to mention (just kidding, I'm pulling your leg missy) is that when the weak, the underdogs, the bullied ones, when they get up and they strive to live each day and don't allow vicious people to bully them it's those who make this world the beautiful place we live in. Though there is a bunch of a bad, okay a lot of bad...the bad that turns out for the best is what gives hope to those who are thinking the same thing you and I and many others out in this world, that it can be stopped. It has, and one day it will but your absolutely right. If more people thought like you and saw life in the same perspective as you, life would be a better place my dear. Chin up!
