Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.

I woke up this morning, with water to drink, food to eat, and a roof over my head. I woke up to parents who were happy to see me. I woke up with a room full of nice things. I woke up this morning and I took everything for granted.
I think because this is all we’ve ever known, we don’t see it as a privilege, but rather as a right. A right to health, and a right to have opportunities.
But right now I want to take a minute and think about those who live on the same planet we do, and yet have nothing. Those who live in the same country. Even those who live in the same town. I think in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, somewhere along the way we’ve forgotten something. We’re so occupied with getting somewhere, and getting things done.
I just wish I could sit everyone down, and tell them that this is our world, these are their lives, this is something that is really happening and its something we can change. They need our help, and we have all the resources to save them. And yet we do nothing.
I haven’t lost faith in the people of this Earth. I think we’ve simply forgotten what it means to be a human. I think what we need is someone to remind all of us, what we are capable of. We need to make some very serious changes before it’s too late.
Sometimes I feel like I’m just a kid. I’m just a kid with a dream of world peace. A dream of a better tomorrow. Maybe I’m crazy. Maybe there isn’t any chance that the people of this earth can come together, to save our world. But I have to hope that maybe there is a chance. Because without that hope, I don’t really have anything.
