Alright maybe I started things out on the wrong foot. I’m not going to insult you. All I am going to do is simply voice the things that need to be said. If you take offence to the following then let me say this. You should have no reason to be offended by this. If you are offended by this, then perhaps you should reflect upon yourself for a little while. To figure out who you really are, sure, we put on masks and pretend to be people we are not. But once we figure out whom we really are then nothing much else matters. It doesn’t matter what we own in life. What truly matters is what we do in life. And at the current rate that ignorant people are breeding is going to overwhelm our generation even more if it continues. We need to join together and spread the thoughts. The Thoughts that say it isn’t cool to kill, yourself or another. And also that it is not cool to be stupid. People fear the truth, and the intelligent. The phrase “Ignorance is bliss” is completely false. Ignorance is the cause for so many problems it would break the board to post a list them all.
Throughout my studies on these matters I’ve deducted that the American people are too influenced by the media. Be it Television or music. If you can tell me more about the Simpson’s than you can about history, then you are one of the people that are over influenced by the media. I’m not saying it’s bad to know about the Simpson’s. I’m saying that it is bad to not know about the things that have happened in our past. Because if you do not know these things, then you don’t know about what mistakes have already been made so that you do not make these mistakes again.
I am not actually here to insult or judge you. I am simply here to make you think. That is my objective. If you happen to find this controversial topic offensive; then so be it. Simple as that, I cannot be held responsible for offending you for something that is said here. This is not a waste of time either, for I know that this shall make a few people think; and if those people go out and cause others to think. Then I can say I have truly done what I set out to do. And also: I’m not going to say that all hip hop is bad. But the majority of the mainstream attitude is. It sets a bad example, and why? Because it is an influence from white people trying to still keep the black man down. And many do not realize that, because they are too ignorant to think for themselves. And much of the underground hip hop is filled with messages and things that are an actual truth, that’s why it is underground, because no one wants to here the truth any more.
And I’m not just talking about the media followers. The US justice system is corrupt. If someone can sue for being hurt in the process of burglarizing someone else’s property and actually WIN, then that is not just. In fact it is quite the opposite.
Example: This was on the news a few days ago. A man broke into someone’s home and was injured by their dog in the process. The injured man called 911 on the burgled person’s home phone and was rushed to the hospital. After that he sued the people that he attempted to burglarize and WON.
That is complete and total bulls%.
Feel free to voice your opinions. I am not going to stop you. But I hope that you are mature enough to handle this topic in the way it was meant to be. Once again, I shall not pass judgment upon you; all I ask is the same in return. I only wish to make this world a better place.
And here is just a little information why I think that way.
The reason I am here…
In this world I believe that everyone has their own mission or purpose in life. Some people may have lost the sight of this mission along the way. Many say that I am wise beyond my years, for I have learned from others mistakes and not just my own. Sure I’m guilty of wrong doings and mistakes. But through studies of the past and from just listening to others complain about certain things, I have taken this information and put it to good use. By doing this I believe that it will help me to be a better person, both academically and humanicly (yes I know that that isn’t a real word, but I feel it describes what I wanted to say).
Well enough about that, all that was just the prelude to the real story. At first it started out to prove to the people that had said I would never amount to anything in life…I want to prove to them that they were wrong. I see myself doing great things during my mission. I won’t be another Martin Luther King Jr. nor even as great as Gandhi…but I will do many things to try to better the lives of my fellow man and women. At the moment I do not know how, but I’m sure that I will when the time comes. As for the time being, I am here to push myself beyond boundaries and into the next phase of my mission. I will work to the fullest of my abilities and prove not only to those who doubted me, but to myself as well. That I am a worthwhile human being who can, and will amount to something in this lifetime.
“This is the world we live in,
And these are the hands we’re given,
Use them and let’s start trying,
To make this a place worth living in.
Now this is the world we live in,
And these are the hands we’re given,
Use them and let’s start trying,
To make this a place worth fighting for.”
-Taken from the song: Land of Confusion by Disturbed.
Maybe now you can better understand why I think the way that I do.
I thank you for you’re your time once more.
