"Why, What and When?" When did we lose the simplicity in our lives? And can we get it back? What happen to the forgotten heros? And where are their familes, did we forget them too? When did Christmas become so materialistic? Did everyone forget who's Birthday it was, does anyone celebrate or buy gifts for Jesus or do they only think about thenselves and what they will get? Why do people intentionally set out to hurt others that they claim they love? Is this the way it was intended to be? What happened to a smile, a big bear hug or a simple kiss on the forehead? Do they mean nothing anymore? Or was it just part of the game? Why get diamonds when you could have a bubble gum ring? Are they really a girls best friend? When did people start turning on other people to get ahead? Can they really sleep at night? What ever happened to loyality between friends and family? Is there no such thing anymore? When did love become the foundation to a relationship? Shouldn't it be trust? Why do people think your crazy if you smile and laugh all the time? Have we become that angry in this life? Why is it so bad to want to surround yourself with positive people, even if it means separateing yourself from the ones you truly loved? Why is there a war going on? And when does it end? Haven't we all seen enough pain, and death? Whatever happened to loving your neighbor just because you do and not because you want something? When did life become one big game, a competition? Why can't we be happy for ones accomplishments and not jealous? Why is there still prejudice people? So many decades have passed and pain and we are still teaching our children color. We all bleed the same color does that not mean something? Why say something if you don't really mean it? Think hard before you do, it may prevent someones feelings being hurt. Why do people throw the words I love you around? We all know it is really easy to say, but what happened to truly meaning it? When did we forget the true meaning of friendship? Being there for each other and wanting the very best for them, not who has more. When did TV take over family time? Now there is no talking, not even during commercials. Why can't adults swing anymore without others thinking they went off the deep end? Is that jealousy too? When did we stop caring for others and only think about ourselves? Isn't there something really wrong with this? What happens now with the global warming, will our grand children and their children not be able to go out and play? Is that when tecnology totally takes over? What happened to true love? Was there any such thing? Or did that die too? When did we stop having compassion for others? Can you really walk over a human in need? Step on them when they are down? Why is it so hard to believe that people have mental illness? Look at society and where we are now compared to decades ago, I think everyone one of us is in some way screwed up, can you really blame them? Why not accept it and help or itleast understand it, not everyone can handle life today. What ever happened to perserving the Earth as we know it? We were all given a gift and now we on a daily basis abuse it. Why is it so hard to "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you?" Are we all that busy in life to stop and think for 5 seconds before we speak or take action? When did foreplay replace kissing and holding each other? Does anyone else feel this way? What ever happened to holding hands, laying in each others arms not just after sex, but anytime. Do we not understand the word intimacy anymore either? Why must everything be complicated now? I don't remember life being so difficult. What happened to respect for others and yourself? It seems that the way we speak to one another has changed with time also. And we allow people to take advantage of our right to be talked to in the right way. Why don't I see people dancing in the rain anymore and enjoying the little things that cost nothing? Or is it just me that got true enjoyment out of it and wanted to believe I was not alone. Why has it come down too only giving to receive? Expecting something in return? Did we also lose that meaning too? What happened to getting in your car with the ones you love and driving around on a Sunday afternoon with the windows down and the music playing, not needing to say anything just enjoying each others company? No where to go, nothing to do, just letting go for the afternoon. When did we forget that having one great friend is better then having tons of people who are only out to hurt you. Cherishing them and wanting nothing but happiness and peace for your friend. What happened to truth, even if it hurts, in the end it is appreciated and hurts less. Why can't we accept people for who they are instead of always wanting to change them? Accepting them or leaving them alone all together. When do we open our eyes and finally see, we have been given sight, but have lost our common sense. Why do people steal and sneak when they have everything given to them and only need to ask? What happens when your heart breaks? And can it be repaired without surgery? Why does tickling cause you pain and laughter at the same time? Why is there so much hatred today and lack of love? Why are people still having babies to turn around and give them up, when there are so many babies already with no one to love and nuture them out there in this world? When did divorce become so easy and replace the fight in us to make things work? What ever happened to thinking of the children first instead of our own needs? When did our own goverment turn on us or has it always been that way and we just had blinders on? When did our right to vote and it matter end? Who decided for us who should make our rules and us have to live by them without our say in it? Or was it always like that and we were brain washed into thinking that we were that important. I could go on about the things that I don't understand and wish I could change in this very cruel and changed world, but the truth is I am alone in my stuggle with society and the way those around me choose to live, think and behave. There are no answers to my questions, and sadly enough I have stopped asking because today if you should ask these very simple things you are deemed crazy or need help. I can only hope and pray that my childrens future is not affected by those millions of people that have forgotten what the true meaning of love, respect, peace and simplicity really are. And that because I do teach my children everyday not to see color, but people's hearts, that there is still hope although they need to search their own precious hearts to find it, that there are still people that have compassion for others and that it is okay not to be perfect and let them make their own mistakes without judgement. That even though they may be looked at the wrong way that it is okay to run through a feild of flowers and swing till they reach the sky to dance their hearts out in the rain if even for one day, to reach for their goals and live their dreams even if they feel alone that there are people out there trying just like them even if they are far and few between. To not give up because of the hatred that has overcome most and that it is okay to admire what one has, but jeaously will only get them hurt. I pray and pray and pray that someday it will change, because I still have hope. Forever, Daisy |
