KEEP IT UP

We are only a shell of flesh holding together a big body of blood. Humanity. Sometimes it loses its sincerity; without any wax. We lose our dignity as a whole because of our self absorbency. We focus on things not for others, but for self praise. It is near impossible in our nature to do something solely from the heart. And it’s sad. I like to believe that all people have good deep inside them, if not exposed through the outside. That there is some other force causing bad behaviour. That people sometimes don’t understand distant consequences. That mankind feels that sometimes it is for the best to do some sort of action and it ends up taking a toile on them. That people make mistakes. That is what I believe. That we have to make too many sacrifices and we always feel like we make the most sacrifices out of anyone. It seems that even though we know our own race, we either can’t accept ourselves or can’t understand ourselves. We, as a human race, have a responsibly to with hold, yet we aren’t doing a very good job. We have certain integrity to stand up to, yet we don’t take the stand. Embarrassment consumes us, the thoughts of judgement scare us out of our wits, and even the very thought of not being accepted in our personal society’s could change the very idea and feelings we may have on something. How did we get like this? How did our people become such savages in society? Who thought of this? Who decided what was acceptable? Why does our world look down upon one another? I believe in acceptance. I believe in compassion and love. I believe in the congregating of unlike cultures and creating a common ground. I believe in people. I believe in humanity. And I believe that deep down, there is good within ourselves.
