Is There Still Hope?

, , , ,

Seriously is there?
With my generation there’s just no hope left… It’s like every teenager needs to curse after every other word they say. Come on people wake up! When you talk like that it doesn’t make anyone think any better of you, maybe less of you, but certainly not more.
There’s also no respect coming from them, you know that old saying “Respect your elders”… I just feel like I’m just a loner I try my hardest to make some sort of a difference, but when it’s so hard to find someone else who also really cares…
There was an actual time when everyone had something or someone to believe in to have faith in, but now is it truly getting that rare to find?
Ok don’t get me wrong there are still really great people out there, it’s just you have to take the challenge in trying to find them or are you just going to take whatever everyone else is into? Or whatever you see is easiest to find?
Don’t always be a follower! At times that can be a good place, but when you truly want to make a difference or get something done you have to take the lead. If you see something wrong or someone in trouble don’t go thinking “Oh someone else will fix it” or “Someone else will come along”, yes these may be true. Then again you can be the one who fixes the problem or saves someone’s life or makes a difference in the future, may it be large or small it’s still a difference and you can be the one who made that difference.
Think about certain crimes that people do, (never mind don’t try to strain your brain I’ll do it for you) they steal, rape, molest, murder, do drugs, and many other things, but when you really think about it these people are selfish. They’re always thinking “Me. Me. Me. It’s all about me.” (Ok yeah, I know this may not be exactly what they’re thinking, but you get what I mean, right?) They’re selfish, as they only think of themselves when they do crimes such as I had mentioned. They don’t think about the ones around them, the people who really care about them, so when they do things such as this it really affects their loved ones, but most of all it affects them. Think about it these people were actually children once, you know, when they cried they had their parents to hold them, to say to them “It’s alright I’m here” or simply by saying those three powerful words to make it all better “I love you”. No matter who you are or where you are there is always someone that cares about you that really loves you. When people indulge themselves into crimes like this it never makes their life any better. Maybe when doing drugs it makes you forget about your problems, but as soon as it wears off the problems have only grown, as for now that person has an addiction or worse they end up dead. With the other crimes you may end up getting away with it... For the time being, but you will get caught you will get your punishment and you will get exactly what you deserve.
When you have a problem try to talk it out with someone may it be a friend, family member, or a loved one, you just can’t let your problem(s) grow.

I can't really think of a title right now... Anyway here's a poem...Itachi, Itachi, Itachi...

Hey Brooke,

Yeah, I definitely think change only comes when people step out of their comfort zone. It's unfortunate because human tendency likes to follow crowds; feels safer that way. In terms of swears and such, I must admit... sometimes I reel out a shplell of them every so often (usually when I'm really frustrated though, not just for the heck of it, haha). I find that often, most people just don't know that what they say is offensive. So yeah, I think you're on the right track when you mentioned about speaking up against things. Because how else will people know?

Anyways, for the title question, the fact that there are people like you who are conscious of the need for change, and who are going out there and putting words into action is a sign that there will always be hope!

Keep at it! And don't worry about feeling alone; there's at least one person here who's supporting you! bigsmile

Good post. Glad someone thinks like tht seriously, tht too at a young age.

I hate ppl's excuse of 'tht person just used poor judgement' or 'misguided' or 'made a bad mistake'. Ppl need to take responsibility of their actions b'coz of their 'mistakes,misguidance,judgement' it costs someone else. There's VERY few ppl who fall under the above descriptions and excuses...not all. Always an exception to the rules.

I too hv fallen into the curse trap,truthfully. Unless I make a conscious effort to change, it'll keep happening whether I like it or not. I can't claim 'but I'm still a nice guy inside' when I show no class to other ppl b'coz they're thinking different. (of course there's a rare, VERY rare, case of developing an OCD in swearing,where he/she just simply can't stop even if they tried)

This was an awesome post. Thnx.

Yeah, it seems a lot of people have started writing up thoughtful entries as of late. I think it might be something in the air (something good, of course p).

bigsmile Thank you, it was great to read your blog [old head on young shoulders, as the saying goes]. Yes, the 'me me me's' - I call them opera singers. I think that people of all ages,races and creeds can come together if only they see what we have in common and not our differences. Please keep up the good words as they earn respect.

Good post! up
I do agree with you. Sometimes, people should thinh outside the box and do something different, though it's not comfortable for them!


Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about getting out there and dancing in rain.

Yes. Everyone should be different, because if we were all the same then that would just be boring.
I also like that quote thanks for sharing.smile
