Knock walls down....

We all have a dream inside of us that we wish the world would be like. This dream is most likely not what life is like when we watch TV, walk through our neighborhoods, or fly across the world. We see people who are obsessed with greed and power. This reality often saddens many people and breaks us down and allows the cycles to continue the way they are. I believe the majority of people want to have respect and kindness for one another, but they have built walls that cover up that care and concern for one another. This is understandable because of the hurt from either family, a friend, a lover, the government, the police, or the people who are in charge who are suppose to make this world a safer place for us. Therefore, we hide because we are afraid to be vulnerable and to show the beauty we feel deep, deep inside. We stay in fear, because we dont want to be hurt again. However, our hiding just allows these hurts to grow and grow, which creates a great depression, which is where our world is today. We are in a depression in many ways. Besides the economy, the people are depressed emotionally. I think we need to break down these walls that we put up because of the betrayal of others. Keeping these walls up and feeling down and depressed, we are only allowing those that hurt us to continue to have that control over our feelings. We need to take back our control of our own happiness and show each other the respect and the kindness we each deserve just because we are all human. Sure, when we begin to be who we truely are deep, deep inside, this loving caring, fun person, we will get hurt by someone. That will happen. But, you need to remember that you are better than to live in pain and to live in anger because of what another person does. If you choose to live in that pain and with that hurtful anger or saddness you are allowing this person to hurt you again and again. You are allowing them to control you. We should never let another person have that much power over our lives, over how we feel because inside we are all beautiful and we all have so much to offer each other. I believe if we begin expressing our kindness and our niceness to others, this world would become a better place, closer to our dreams of what it would be like.
