All we can do is keep breathing.

Sometimes, listening to other people's take on the world is a little painful, it's almost.. depressing.
I feel that alot of us have lost hope, and given up on the world.
I wouldn't blame them. Yes, the world is crumbling right in front of our eyes, with murder, rape, kidnapping, war, prejudice, stereotypes, hatred, and disunity amongst everyone.
We see it everywhere. So, how can someone actually be positive anymore, right? How can we possibly have hope if times are just getting harder and harder, if the world continues to get worse? Maybe that's why hope is lost.

The conditions in the world are indeed getting worse, but yet, we wait and watch other people try their very best to make it better, instead of ourselves.

We cannot possibly keep saying that we want peace and unity if we ourselves don't create it. We mould the future of this world, of ourselves, and if the world comes to a state where it is beyond bad, then, we only have ourselves to blame.
I don't think that service to humanity is the job of only a fraction of the world, it is the duty for everyone one of us.

I think what we need is people that HAVE hope and people that help contribute to making this world a better place.
To me, both must go hand in hand.
Hope is what will keep us going. It is what will inspire and empower us to do our part to create a better world.

It seems like such a big thing to do,to "cure the world" and well, it is but we start here, where you live, with your life, the environment around you. We have to open our eyes and see that there are so many things that has to be done just around us.

That reminds me that I still have so much to do. We all do.


The day before I had to speak at the forum, I watched this video.
She moved me to tears.
She was only 12 when she spoke in front of thousands of people at the UN EARTH SUMMIT. She spoke there!
So if you think you cannot make an impact, think again because you know, you reeaally can.
Maybe not through public speaking, but everybody's got their own parts to play.

Amazing.
