Synesthesia

I feel like life is too artificial these days. People are so caught up with money, possessions, and themselves that they forget about the truly important things in life. Not many people can step back and see the big picture. We are all here on this planet together and whether we like it or not we have to live with each other. I can’t understand how some people have such hatred built up in their hearts. I feel bad for people that are assholes to me, I feel bad for horrible people that do horrible things to other people. I can’t stop feeling this sense of overwhelming love for this planet and all the people on it. Tonight I spent an hour walking around just looking at the sky and thinking about life. I do this alot and sometimes the things I think of seem ridiculous to me but they are actually enlightening thoughts. I want to live life without being a slave to money. I want to see people who have nothing picked up off the streets and cared for. I want everyone to be happy with what we have because frankly it is fucking awesome. I have nothing to complain about and the people who are able to read this shouldn’t have anything to complain about either. We are much better off than alot of people and we should consider ourselves lucky. We’ve done nothing to deserve the lives we have we were just fortunate enough to be born into comfortable life styles. Yes I know that our day to day problems can weigh us down and blind us from truly important things but we have to look beyond that and stop and say “What am I thankful for?”. If we decided to be content with what we already have instead of worrying about getting more things that will make us “happy” we would be better off. I feel as though not many people know these things. I hear people bitch about their parents, and how they don’t get what they want and all I can think is “You ungrateful little fuck, enjoy what you have because you’re lucky to have it.” Most people don’t see it this way and I hope that will change soon. I try to be satisfied with what I have, I’m always telling myself that somewhere out there is someone that deserves this more than me and I try to humble myself. People need to realize that life is more than just money, and material possessions. Life is about survival, we all are trying to live on a day to day basis. Some people can do that themselves and others need help but we are all in it together so we should stop killing each other and start making peace, stop destroying and start building, start researching, start exploring. If we devoted as much time to science, or art as we do to war and killing others we would be an extremely advanced society. Who knows maybe we would have reached the next galaxy by now or cured cancer. I honestly believe that if all the worlds peoples united we could work towards making the human race an amazing thing. I would actually be proud to call myself human.
