I’m feeling quite sad today reflecting on the state of our world. There is such a deep and alarming need to awaken people’s empathy. People’s ability to recognize the humanity in every single human being around them and recognize the fact that the only race is the human race. We may be different...
do you ever just wanna sit next to someone and listen to everything they could possibly say about anything ever just because you like their face and their voice and their general existence
thank you, yahoo answers, for the proof that no matter how stupid my question, someone else in this world has already asked it before
I would love to do that, but I have not. She’s the bomb-diggity. Who doesn’t love Tay-Tay?
I get emotionally attached to lyrics, like not necessarily a whole song just that one line that hits you in the gut and pulls out every emotion you can possibly feel and every time you hear that one line its like the whole world is okay for a few seconds.

I’m feeling quite sad today reflecting on the state of our world. There is such a deep and alarming need to awaken people’s empathy. People’s ability to recognize the humanity in every single human being around them and recognize the fact that the only race is the human race. We may be different shades, we may be different genders, we may have different views and beliefs but we are the SAME. When you look up into the sky and see something soaring past in flight, you don’t think about calling it a bird, it just is one. Whether it’s blue or green or multicolored, it is a bird and birds need to fly. We are all humans. And we all need to live and love. And because we are the same we need to STOP the division. Creating labels and groups that target our differences. We need to stop dwelling on our differences and start building on our commonality. Recognize that it is just WRONG to stereotype, persecute, oppress, murder, (the atrocities are endless) HUMAN BEINGS. I have seen this trend about saving dogs from being murdered in China. There’s a petition with millions of signatures recognizing this as an atrocity and acting on it and raising awareness for this to stop. When are we going to start taking that same initiative with one another? When are we going to recognize that what happened in Charleston was a BLATANT act of violence fueled by an institutionalized entitlement and privilege. That man was not crazy, he thought and was taught that it is ok to think of an African American as less than themselves. He wasn’t CRAZY he is a product of RACISM. When is a Law Enforcement official, who is considered an esteemed member of society because of how honorable his job is, going to be indicted for doing the most dishonorable thing you can do to another human being (murder) (one of the most heinous crimes you can commit)? Where are the petitions and the voices surpassing the oppressed? WHERE IS EVERYONE’S SOUL AND HUMAN EMPATHY. Why do we blind ourselves. Why are we scared to change it. We can change it. We have lost (never really had according to history though) the ability to recognize that a living being is precious. That life is precious and short. And just because someone doesn’t look like you, or think like you, or express themselves in this world the way you think is proper does NOT give you the right to dehumanize and oppress them. We need to do better.
