Wow! I haven’t blogged in a while. In my defense, I was way
too hormonal to write anything meaningful!
Anyways, what I want to talk about today is all the shit
going around our world and our reaction to such tragedies as a society and as individuals.
People are talking about the Newtown shooting, the stabbings
in China, the gang rape in Delhi everywhere. I feel bad but, all I want to do is tell them to
shut the fuck up and move on. What are we going to do? Can we bring back the
lost lives? Can we fix a broken heart?
We are glorifying
these horrible tragedies today, and by tomorrow all is forgotten. We pray and praying
is great for our own sanity and our peace of mind. But let us be real. Praying cannot
undo the wrong inflicted upon the victims. Everyone comes in this world with a
destiny. It was their destiny and we
cannot control everything that happens.
We are all still individually
responsible for everything that happens in our world. We can’t stop everything,
but we can try not to make it worse.
Instead of complaining about what someone else did or what
the government needs to do, we need to look in the mirror and ask ourselves, “What
have I ever done to stop this?”
Bullshit we hear from ourselves, “well, I haven’t hurt
anyone. I would never do that. What can I do, I am just a common man. I am not
responsible for this.”
Not a good enough answer! It’s actually very selfish. We are
making this about us, when living in our world is definitely not just about us.
We don’t own up. We are so concerned about “my” life, “my”
problems, “my” job, and “my” relationships that we don’t give it a time of the
day to make someone else smile.
What we need to do is, realize that every person we come
across, every life we touch, every stranger we see is affected by who we are.
We should be so good to everyone that we come across that
they should walk away with a feeling of more sunshine in their world. We should
show love and gratitude to people so they see no reason to hurt you or anyone
else because you helped them see this world with softer eyes. We should offer a
helping hand to the deserving and to the undeserving as well. If everyone did
this, we will have a happy universe again.
If only we let go of our egos. We are so caught up with the
self created drama in our lives that it makes it impossible for us to see that
everyone has shit going on in their life.
Everyone needs some TLC. I mean
EVERYONE! We hold back on being good to someone because this person is competing
for the same promotion at work or she said something about you a long time ago.
But that does not matter. Our ego always gets the best of us, and for what?
We are all busting our asses for these huge multimillion
dollar companies that don’t think twice before letting people go. We are so
worried about making money for them that we forget to earn respect for
ourselves. We forget that god didn’t put us on this earth to make money.
We are so caught up that we decide where our unborn child
will go to college and what profession they will be, but we forget that our
priority as a parent is to make sure that child is the best human being that
he/she can be.
All we need to do is, recognize that ego. Let go of hard
feelings and forgive. Let our hearts feel the love around us. Be stupid, be innocent.
Stop putting up unnecessary walls. Compliment someone’s smile, offer a helping
hand, be nice, and say please, sorry and thank you. Don’t be afraid to be who
you are. Be grateful for all the good things in life and have faith in your
destiny. Let your good energy shine. Get away from things that make you sad,
unhappy or angry.
Just feel happy. It’s
the best feeling in the world.
