Unlimited Circumstances

Time is as precious as life but people seem to forget that.
We live in a world where consideration, compassion and love are spoken rarely.
A world where hatred, pain and violence are uttered through every child’s mouth. 
Time is all that we have control over; instead, we choose to belittle ourselves with words
such as stupid, ugly or even words that are demeaning to one’s character. 
We find ourselves forgetting that words are an expression, and reflection of who we are.
Instead of encouraging our children to be strong, powerful leaders, we tell them that an
education is not the only means to success. 
Instead of shedding tears, we should become strong influential people encouraging not only
our children but also our adults. 
Time is precious and rare that others neglect, neglect time because they neglect themselves.
