Today's writing prompt from Live Your Legend is: What really makes you angry about the world?
Well, this isn't difficult, seeing what happened recently: humans make me angry.
Humans who kill innocent people to gain attention.
Humans who have a political and economical agenda to increase profits in exchange of human rights. Humans who forget that they are adults and thus can affect a child's life in a positive or negative way. Humans who only believe that their way of thinking and living is the right way.
Humans who get consumed by greed, hurt and anger.
Humans who'd rather blame others instead of working together to find a solution.
Humans who don't want to learn new things.
Humans who stop imagining to improve the world.
Humans who stop trying to help other people because they have been hurt.
Humans who take their loved ones for granted.
Humans who forget that other human beings have people whom they love.
Humans who have lost enjoying seeing, listening, feeling and tasting the beauty in this world.
Humans who listen to their ego instead of their inner child.
Humans who think that they can never change because they are too old.
Humans who forget how the children's psychology are affected by seeing their loved ones fight and die.
Humans who forget how short life is and how lucky that we are still alive.
Humans who forget that we can choose to do bad or good actions.
And now I've realized that we humans are a sad lot. And that instead of anger, this list has turned into pent up frustrations.
If you're wondering why I haven't gone into detail about the Paris attacks, it is because there is more than enough emotions going around that my tears have dried. The only thing that seems blatant, is that it seems like 9/11 all over again: an extremist group rises in the middle east as the current government is too liberal -> magically has enough money to buy enough arms to start a civil war -> lots of death, torture, orphans and emotionally unstable people -> recruit them -> brainwash them -> the extremist group blames the West -> attacks the West by doing horrible acts -> the West now has a 'legitimate' reason to attack -> lots of death, orphans and emotionally unstable people -> the group is eradicated -> somehow the region the West attacked is profitable -> post a head of state approved by the West-> a new extremist group is born near the region. And the whole cycle starts again.
Do you know who real losers are? Us. Because the only information is from the media who can just feed us what those in power want us to believe. Because when there is an attack, it is us who lose our loved ones first. And this is great for fear, hate and violence to ferment.
And I'm wondering how can we, mere civilians, actually make a change if those in power don't listen to us?
Sometimes I'm really tempted to drop everything and find a small plot of land to farm and just live with a few animals. No drama. But at the same time, this would mean running away from the problems. And this won't bring change.
Meh, this post sucks.
Ps. That theory up there: it's generalized. And it is one theory out of many.
Pps. Please remember that this is only an opinion out of thousands of others. I just puked all my thoughts out without filtering them. So don't take it at face value.
