Together

United we stand, divided we fall.

How do we know what’s right or wrong? How can we fight the injustice of the world? There’s only one way the world will change for the better.

After Brexit, continually we see the rise of leaders who are like Donald Trump, people who want to take their country back.

This is because ultimately and logically speaking there only exists understanding. The lack of understanding is ignorance. But ignorance and understanding are in a way the same side to the same coin. To further understand something is to become ignorant of not understanding it. Yet, it is not the same in that to be ignorant is to understand.

It is neither to understand, nor be ignorant, that is how realization is born. To be aware of that which is, and how it is. Humans don’t want to live by the hatred of one another, we all want to be loved and happy. Yet society deludes us because the roots of greed go very deep.

Has the time come for us to remember our roots, but rise above them? Remember where we’ve come from, but not to let that get in the way of where we are going? How can we do this? When people get together to change the world, when people come together by the millions, anything is possible.

We decide what kind of world we want to live in, and the impossibility of a peaceful world is drilled into society. A peaceful world though is only impossible because we think it is. There are far better ways to solve problems than by killing.

It is depressing actually, that we still haven’t learned this. We’ve been here so long, have so much history recorded and it’s all right in front of us, yet we remain blind to it. If you ask what this thing is, then that is indicative that you don’t understand. It means you perceive this thing as a constant entity that can be understood and upon reaching that understanding you now understand it. This is not the case.

This thing is understanding itself, it is a process. It itself cannot be understood because it is itself. The way in which most people understands does not allow them to see this, they narrow their minds and cannot see beyond their own created barriers. Only the nature of understanding, how it acts can begin to be understood which gives us insight to understanding itself.

It is a constant struggle, to work with that which is occurring in the world around us, especially since in today’s world so much happens that prevents us from having these thoughts. So many people die for a week so that they can live for a weekend. But even farther, there are children, brothers, sisters, fathers, and mothers that are dying out there.

Families everywhere are being shattered by war, and until people begin to reach this realization that I have spoken of, the senseless killing will remain. It may not be easy, it actually in theory is the most difficult thing that can ever be done. But at what point, will we say “Enough is enough?” At what point will we come together with the roots planted in us of those who have come to pass through the greed of cruel men? The time has passed for us to take our fate into our own hands, but will we choose to take our world back from those that insist on dividing it apart? United we stand, divided we fall.


He saw it as much as everyone: "When people stand together, and are prepared to fight back, there is nothing that can't be accomplished."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
