If today was your last day...
As I sat feeling depressed about my current situation, I thought listened to one of my favorite songs by Nickleback. It has an excellent point...not everyday is promised...yet individuals go about thinking as if it is...and here is why...
The society we live into today is ruled by one thing...MONEY. It's the root of all happiness and all evil. If you have money, you're "happy" because you know that you are capable of doing just about anything you please (legally). If you don't have any money, you feel depressed and all you can think about is how to get money or improve your situation.
I find myself in a position I did not think I would see in a while...and I'm tired of blaming the economy. This country's current economic situation is because of bad money management on the part of the previous presidents...not the current president. This country is based on capitalistic views...we must get money to suceed...by any means necessary...
I quote Malcolm X loosely because that was not the purpose of the statement. We are willing to kill, steal, etc. for a small piece of paper? Why? I blame this mostly on our fore "fathers" who enstilled in us that we can't have anything or get anywhere without the little piece of green paper. I HATE THIS IDEA! Why can't we be happy and satisfied with our lives as they are? We always want MORE...we always have to be the best at something...or rule everything...
I personally feel that we have too much competition and money problems in our society...this will surely bring down our country (as it is now)...
I'm depressed because of my current economic status...I want the finer things in life...but if I died today, would that even matter...
So, I'm taking a hard look at the woman in the mirror...and I'm asking her (for once) to become the better person she was always meant to be...to rise above it and look towards the cloud with the silver lining...
She wants to help those everywhere...and she knows that she will be able to soon enough =)
