Who Are You?

You are you.

Who Are You?
Alice in Wonderland

The world is a strange place. Among western societies especially, we are told what to believe. We are told history from its perspective. Wealthy people keep themselves in control. We are told what is possible. Would anyone think a car possible two thousand years ago?

They tell us of great men that lived during golden ages. Of men who gave their lives for that of all humans. There are many who have come to past. There are great women too, yet we are told not to believe these things. There are things today we do not fully understand, such as the Pyramids. Religions speak of people of gods or of gods themselves. What they don't tell you is that those were people too. Every great prophet, was just a person. A person wielding the divine power in which humans have used since the beginning of time to perpetuate themselves across the wonderful and vast Earth.

This is willpower. The will to build a monument to bury your God Kings in. The will to express oneself with monuments to some god you believe in. If you can't respect someone else's beliefs, then yours have no right to be respected. It is in harmony we all must abide with one another.

They say politics and religion are a touchy subject, it is because they are built to make you believe what they want you to believe. By talking to each other we come to a realization, a human realization. When we can cast our thoughts from ourselves and think about the good of the people, that is when we will realize it.

If you do not believe in your dreams, then they are much less likely to happen. You have the power to bring them into reality. But you must have the will. The will of humans is stronger than that of any force that has ever existed on the Earth. The "Greatest Generation" has turned Millennials to see the bad, that the greatness has past. A shattered society that is still stuck in its ways of greed and disregard for reality. Human will has survived every natural disaster, from the very first humans we as humans have fought to survive. We will be our only downfall.

People just want to fit in, be a part of something. You can see it in their eyes. Fear, uncertainty they attack our courage. With will we can overcome fear. People are not objects of furthering your existence or suiting your means. People are just like you, every person that has come and gone. While you can inspire yourself, it is hard to believe it if you do not see it. The Truth is much better realized through that of the people around you. Not every pebble has caused a rockslide. But a rockslide can be started by the smallest of pebbles.

Who will you be, and will you have the will to do what you know in your heart to be good? Or will you live your life believing what you have been told? Me telling you is hypocritical, you must seek the truth yourself. Seek the truth, and ask yourself, who are you?

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
