What The........?

What has gone wrong? Is there a soul left on this  planet that believes in what our elders 
drilled into our heads? Such as: Compasion, honor, loyalty, family, dedication, faithfulness. 
Anyone left with good, strong morals, values, self respect, and common sense? Whos word 
is solid and trustworthy? I feel surrounded, suffocated and hunted. Out numbered and closed 
in on. Why am I looked upon as crazy, felt as though it were wrong to feel thins way? All 
your grown up life taught on thing just for it to turn around and go in the opposite direction. 
How am I suppose to feel? Exactly as I do. I'm not the one sucked off balance and shoved  
outside the path. Its not worth it to me to hang my head in shame. I'm not to blame. Iv 
stayed the same. Its the world that's changed

Earthly Possessions We Leave Behind!

Earthly possessions Are a waist of time. Why do we focus on what we must leave behind?
We obsess over it. We kill for it. We will sell our souls just to own it. So why? When we die
it's all left behind. Such a big waist of time! The money we use to buy these materialistic 
items, all left behind. The biggest part to the evilness that money creates. For shame they 
put "In God We Trust" on the face of there evil. If you lack or choose not to be greedy. 
Your looked upon as trash, scum, and evil. If you gain to much then you turn evil. Shouldn't 
we be more focused on things like heaven, spirituality, kindness and truth? Gaining more 
wisdom and molding our youth? Applying those good things. Putting spare time to good use.

There Are No Weak People

Its amazing how even the strongest of people sometimes find weakness. Needing the 
assistance of another to help pull through a tough time is a process that all humans will face 
from time to time. To need a another person isn't that one is weak. Its's just a time for the 
strong to rest. to recharge and to heal. Rest is always in company of the assistant. We all will 
rest and assist. So there are no weak people. Only those who rest longer and require more 
assistance than most.  Its like to say that something is normal. What's normal to someone 
may be strange to another and  What's seems strange to someone may be normal. So really 
what is normal? Its just another way to categorize what we don't understand. Understanding 
is security. Without security brings fear. To end fear we associate it to something we 
comfort.  Then it becomes a label. Its not right to do to a human being. We are not lifeless 
objects. We have feeling, we have a mind, a soul. Whether or not anyone likes it , we ALL 
need each other at one point. I don't see this as a time to prove anything to anyone. I see it 
as a chance to get closer to someone in the hopes to gain a life long friendship.

Lessons Learned

Observation, To view what's around you. Learn of others and what they do. The learning of
something new. Lead but to fallow. It's within our nature. Groups together separate our future
A plan for each. Some to remain students, others to teach. Our roads are the same but 
different for each. To gain a higher purpose. The lesson will be given until you get the lesson.
At any time, for any reason. Sacrifices taken, lives forsaken. Everything is in an example for
and of something els.
