Let's face it- the world today is not where it should be.
There are so many disasters, and so many conflicts.
My heart is heavy, and my confusion has led me to a point of utter disbelief.
We live in a world where violence is so rampant, a world where justice is only a mere fraction of what it really should be.
But what upsets and confuses me the most, is the division among us.
At a time like this, I so badly want something to be done. I want someone to fix all these negative things happening in our society today.
But maybe that's exactly the problem; want.
I think we all can agree that something needs to be done, and most of us probably want something to be done as well.
So why has there been very little change? Why do we always expect someone else to do the work when countless of us want change?
We all need to stop being so concerned about what others think or so worried about our own self image. We need to turn our wants into action.
We need to smile at the person that seems to be having a bad day.
Send encouraging words to people who are going through a rough spot.
Simply be kind to each other.
We are all one people, we are all humans.
We need to break down the barriers of division that society has put up.
We need to understand that, at this point, these societal issues don't fix themselves; they have to be fixed.
If we all take the frustration and confusion that we have and turn it into love and support, we could see a change in the world bigger than anything else.
So when you see someone sitting alone, go sit with them.
When you see someone who is upset, give them a hug.
Showing care to someone is so much more important than not showing care because of a fear of judgement.
I fully believe that fixing these issues starts with caring for one another again.
We need to break down barriers, rip off labels, and be unstoppable.
Our generation as millennials has so much potential and we can create the start of true change.
When society as we know it is going down the drain, let's destroy these divisions and love and help each other.
"Love one another and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love. Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy." - Sai Baba
