so many people talk about anarchy, the down fall of our government, half of my generation does black people being called nigger, monkey, darky white people are being called white boy, honkey, cracker hispanics are being called spiks italians are being called wop's and each and every individual race has its own set of names they are being called by whom are they being called this? by us "the people", are we really "the people" or a sets of people who fight against each other the government hardly even effects us though, and do you know why? because they are trying to protect us as a whole, but we aren't a whole, we are a country that is being destroyed from the inside out we are destroying each other if we were taken over by another country most people would fight back and fight for whom? their country? no, they would be fighting for themselves and their loved ones and that's it we are the country with the most power in the world, and yet we don't even have the power to: get along stop drugs stop racism (against all races even white) stop violence stop crime I know for a fact that many of you out there commit crimes and i don't just mean minor offenses I mean all kinds of crimes there are many people out there who believe in and worship God, what would God do? ask yourself that every moment of every day there are those who don't believe in God, well that's fine i am not going to demand that you do, but what do you believe in? and there are those who do believe in God and don't care, why don't you care? we all want a better life, we all want less problems, we all wish things were easier well at the rate we are going they are only going to get harder all we seem to want to do is watch TV get high listen to music and get laid doesn't anyone have hope anymore? i don't mean just hope for your self i mean hope for everyone hope for your children and grandchildren hope for your friends hope for your parents hope for the people who you see everyday that have it harder than you do hope for the person whom you love and want to spend the rest of your life with no, we don't have hope, we believe we are going to get by the best way that we can and when i say best i mean the only way you do know, why not trying something different? why not trying something better, ask yourself this when is the last time you really helped someone else i don't mean just giving a dollar to a homeless person or doing your job at work or told some one good job i mean really going out of your way and helping someone, even though it might hurt you have you suffered for anyone, just to make their life easier? that is love, that is hope, to do for someone even though it effects you in only one of two ways a "thank you" or a "fuck you" people might not appreciate the help you might give them but it is better to do it anyway what happens in our schools nowadays? do you, the teachers out there, really i mean really try to help your students try to get them to listen by making them interested other than just doing your job and getting your paycheck do you spend your own personal time helping the students that need your help? do you go to their homes on your own time and talk to them and their parents find out how and what they want to learn? if you don't have the resources at school to teach your kids do you go to the city library and check out extra books? if your answer is no then why are you teaching? why? the people you work with, do they piss you off? if so, why? is it something they say or do? do they just irritate you because of the way they are or are they just rude to you and treat you like dirt? ask yourself this, why? if they irritate you because of the way they are try to understand them if they are rude and mean to you try to figure out why? what is upsetting them? what is wrong with being single nowadays? you need someone, you cant be alone? if you cant handle the way you are when you are alone how do you expect someone else to make you feel good? you think sex is love? no its not, its sex when you are in a relationship that's not going right you think "maybe if we have a baby everything will be good" right? wrong that will just cause more fighting, arguing, and worry try being single, don't go looking for the right person, after all they are out there and you will meet them just be patient live your life the best you can alone, that person will come to you one day what is going on with families nowadays each father, husband, mother, wife, daughter and son out there has their own lives yet how much time do they spend together, how much time do you spend with your kids? how much time do you spend with your parents? after all no one will be here forever they might be gone before you ever get the chance to know them and love them think about this, you would rather be with friends then family, why? because people in your family don't listen to you or understand you? make them understand don't run from them don't hide things from them love them and "make" them understand you, why? because you love them fame, money, popularity, getting people to like you is this what you want? why is that? how is that going to get you ahead in life? do you worry about what others think about you? why do you do that? no one's opinion matters but your own i have noticed that we put movie stars, musical artists, and TV stars on pedestals we think they are beautiful, we think they are talented, we wish we could be like them we wish we could have what they have what do they have? just about a couple of million people know who they are just everyone knowing everything about them people knowing everything about their personal life when do they get free time? never, they are always on call to entertain us that is the only reason they are there, to entertain us not to impress us, not to make millions because of who they are they are there to give us something to do, that's it think about this you see these movie, TV, and music stars, you hear about them all the time in the media you think they are wonderful and beautiful you think they understand how you feel and they touch your soul don't you think that people around you are the same way? when is the last time you got to know some of the people you are around the way you know them? they had to start out somewhere they started out right where you are the only difference is that they were recognized for their talents they started out no different then you or me why don't people be loving and neighborly any more? what is wrong with that? do you think it's weak or gay or too sensitive to try to show love to others? sometimes all our strengths are in our love for your self, for your families, for your friends, and even others that you don't know or know very well when i say love them i don't necessarily mean hug them, kiss them, make love to them i mean just helping them with everything you can, listening to them, give more to them then they give back what am i saying? this is what i am saying: the world is a strange, scary, violent, and painful place but it is also amazing, beautiful, and filled with possibility have hope for on another love one another help one another remember to give to everyone, after all if everyone gives then everyone receives ignore the differences between us and try, just try to be understanding and patient, that's it i will leave you now with your thoughts, all i ask is to think about what i have said and know that you can change the world, you one person can change the world all you have to do is try, and be patient Shannon Dale Shelton Ps.
