LoL!! Can you believe that?!

Ok, so someone who doesn't have the courage to say who they are commented on one of my blogs and they wrote some pretty offending things. Well, I have to be honest, I personally was not offended by what an embarassed-by-who-they-are-person wrote because I feel sorry for them. It is not there fault they cannot speak articulately, intellectually, intelligently and at the same time elaborate on a topic they are not educated on. No, it's not their fault.... Who am I kidding, it is there fault. I don't feel sorry for them. But hey, it's ok, stay embarrassed by who you are, like 2-Pac said, "I ain't mad at cha."

Lightness in the Cruel World:2-Say thank you and mean it....

... if you don't mean it, at least say it to be polite. People are quite ungrateful these days. From something as simple as saying "thank you" for someone saying "bless you" or for holding the door open, to something higher up on the scale such as someone going out of there way to help you with something. Just the fact that someone is helping you and remembered you, should be enough for one to be and feel grateful and a little important. And there are many children who have no manners and they're the future of our world. Let's use manners and spread them the best way possible. Good manners are contagious and lead on to better things. I choose to lead by example. Say thank you, it goes a long way.

Lightness in the cruel world: 1

Be a gentleman. Hold the door open. Say thank you. Tell the TRUTH. What ever happened to these "attributes." The world is cruel. It is filled with deceit, dishonor, disgust!! Being two-faced is nothing to be proud of, it's dishonorable. Using people and deceiving them with lies and tales and the falseness of your every word is deceitful. Having no respect for yourself is simply disgusting.

Think about what you've done, wrong and right. Did you really have to do so much wrong? Did you have to lie? Were you scared to show who you really are, even though the real you is currently on display with your deceptions? Did you have to own up to expectations of what was figured you would be? The answer appears to be yes to all of those. I don't mind, I'm fine either way, but the world should be a better place, for you and for me. Light up the darkness.

Hypocrites

Hypocrites. There is nothing good to say about them, only that they give us something to talk and write about. If you are feeling a certain way about something, say what you have to. Do not be a hypocrite. If you are going to talk bad about someone, and then be there "friend", you look like a fool. People need to stop being FAKE. We can all do without hypocrites, but they can't do without us. They need prey to feed off of. Well they won't get food from me!! If you're a hypocrite, first recognize that you are one. And then, STOP BEING ONE. Thanks.

Jail for throwing a shoe!!

Ok, ok , ok. I'm sure we all remember that a man threw his shoes at our former President, George W. Bush. This man was sentenced to serve 3 YEARS in jail for throwing shoes at a countries head of state. Yea, it's not right to throw your shoes at someone, especially if they're the President of a country, but 3 YEARS?!?! It is understandable that the man learns his lesson and manners, but George W. Bush wasn't the best of human beings or leaders. He gave off a vibe that he didn't care too much about what was going on. Well, back to the "shoe thrower." This man claims that he was tortured while he was in custody. It doesn't sound impossible that this happened to him, seeing how all the violence continues in our country/world, even though some of us strive for world peace. 3 years seems like too much, but not much can be done once the "government of the people, for the people, by the people" has made up its mind.

March 11= No Smoking Day!!

Tomorrow is no smoking day. If you smoke, don't do it!! At least for tomorrow =] If you don't smoke, encourage a family member or friend not to smoke. Let's try to stop the harmful addiction of cigarette smoke. Not only are smokers at risk for disease, but they put those around them in the way of harm as well.

Trying to fit in?!

Some people try too hard to "fit in." No one should have to try to "fit in", people should notice that some people have troubles that they do not speak of. Society is quick to judge people based on looks, character which they haven't had the chance to get to know, there sex, there skin color, there nationality, and other things that which are quite unfair to the person being judged. What the world needs is compromise and understanding. If compromise was more common on earth, it would be a COMPLETELY different place. No war, no unnecessary arguments. And once we take the time to understand one another and how we feel on certain issues, we would all be able to relate to more subjects and not judge so quickly. Moral of the story: Compromise and Understanding one another would change the world.
"Actions have reactions, don't be quick to judge. You may not know the hardships people don't speak of. It's best to step back, and observe with couth, for we all must meet our moment of truth."-Guru
