Why?

Why is it when we fall all we feel is pain?

Why?

Why is it the words we say all end up in vein?

Why?

Why is it children are brought the world, hand-picked a life and force fed a dream?

Why?

Why are they forced to live and grow and look up to parents that don’t have the title husband and wife?

Why?

Why is the title mom and dad given, but not earned?

Why?

Why can people spit out kids left and right with no thought of having a family, without a concern?

Why?

Why are children raised to be what they see?

Have you not heard the apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree?

When will people, adults, children, man, woman, human kind-

Raise a world of stability and pride?

When will we get rid of the everyday empty promises and wishes that get pushed to the side?

How can we fix this and make people understand?

Understand how to be a woman, and what it means to be a man.

One action

One truth

A better you can lead to a better new

You can be the proof

When we fall we feel pain

That’s because what brings us down gives us knowledge

To strive for a better life

And in return a brighter future is what we gain

What we say just can’t be heard

Instead of the squeak of a mouse we need to roar

Children will take your advice, find a purpose and from there soar

Out on their own, looking up to the woman who could actually be a mom

Taking after a father, who for once, is the prime example of a man

Although the role models are not always what they should be

Examples are still set

They can learn and look at mom and dad and strive for the relationship that they never had

Mistakes made can only teach

Mom and dad are only names and sometimes they are out of reach

Although always close to the heart, they can show you the perfect life you need to start

They do wrong, we do right

The way we are raised does not have to be the way we live our life

The lesson of life is to forget and forgive

Sometimes the apple can fall far

To grow and succeed regardless of the depths in which live planted the seeds

To show who we could really be, who we really are

Don’t let life’s hardships and pain get down

Behind every bad joke is just a clown

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
