Interesting

Interesting how were told that whatever we spend the most time on is what we worship yet you never hear someone being accused of worshing charity? Interesting how were constantly being told that black is beautiful and given beautiful peoms about being a black child yet the same people who tell us this wouldn't stop for a second to embrace their African hair and walk around without a weave on the streets? Interesting how we are constantly being told that our circumstances don't define us yet every other day were being classified into different classes of wealth? Interesting how no matter how connected to her soul that girl walking past my street is nobody will think she is beautiful because she is not light enough,yet we're constantly being told that beauty is soul deep! Interesting how smart work and not hard work pays off yet we're constatantly being told that you don't have to be smart in this world in order to make it you just need to be passionate about what you do? Interesting how the same people who tell us to love our neighbours wouldn't think twice about aborting a child that they don't want? Interesting how were constantly being told that true love waits yet girls in every town are constantly being pressured to get into bed with boys they not even sure love them because they are afraid to loose them? Interesting how were all so afraid of not belonging that you'd even rather be classified as an outcast then to be classified as a nobody even though you are destined for something greater then that?

You think on many interesting things. Would be interesting as well if we got to know how you've come to each conclusion/perspective. To be broken down. Keep writing and sharing your thoughts.
