We live in such a cruel world. Wrong. We live in a cruel society of people. We often complain how cruel the society is, but how many of us actually speak up and try to make a positive difference?
We live in a society where a reason why someone is raped is because their clothes were too revealing or tight. Where people murder an innocent person. Where we throw a fit if our order at a restaurant is wrong when there are children starving in Africa. Where teachers give a student detention for sleeping in class when that student was up all night helping his mom who has cancer. Where writing your personal problems on social media seems like a better solution than going to a therapist to talk about it. Where people think they are "too cool" to respect their parents. Where adults think it is OK to abuse their child or spouse because they feel like it. Where it is so hard for children to get help because police think they are just a troubled child and lying because they do not like their parents' rules. Where people all the sudden show support and love for a person once they die. Where people think the girl who cuts herself in their class is only doing it for attention. Where lovers break up or divorce just because the road starts to get bumpy. Where celebrities and athletes receive more attention than the troops who are fighting for our country. Where people who are harmful will do any destruction to protect their reputation. Where parents will put their job ahead of their children. Where people say sorry with no meaning behind it. Where we decide to text at the dinner table instead of listening and talking about each other's day. Where people blame others instead of taking the blame. Where lying is easier than telling someone the truth, or even when people think it is OK to put someone down in any type of way to make themselves feel more powerful.
We are all responsible for how society is today. Do you want to be known as a random old person who died when you die? Or do you want to be known as someone who spoke out to help make a difference in this society today?
Be the change you want to see happen. If you change your thoughts, you can change your world you see through your eyes. Together, we can make a difference.
