A collection of stories that show my views on life. Some are good, some are bad, and some show the truth that does not want to be seen.
Deny
I've noticed something about humanity as I walk down the sidewalk towards my home. Humans, a good majority of us, live in denial. We deny things everyday. We deny being sick, poor, happy, unhappy, sad, angry. We deny living in a trashed society and messed up world. Some even deny the exsistence of a power almighty, of a great creator, of the one true way, of a perfect being, of God.
It's sad, when you think about it. People deny there is a war, many wars, going on, while somewhere, at any given moment, there's a war erupting or continuing, deadly wars. There are over seas wars, disease wars, wars on the streets, wars in the home, wars at school, wars with the enviroment, wars with nature, and they all have their causualties, victims and prisoners. People are hurt, and killed, everday because of these wars. And sometimes, I lie in bed at night and wonder what is this world coming to?
All of us are victims of at least one war, though many will deny it. I am a war myself, though not a casuality yet. I am, personally involved in many which consist of street wars and home wars as well as wars at school, and even wars on the plane of emotion. There's another war to add to the list. But what you have to understand is I've opened my eyes to what others do not. Only those who open their eyes and are willing to face the truth see the wars presented, and how bad our society is and how much worse it's getting. They see the truth.
If we continue to go at the rate we're going, the world will be nothing but a baren wasteland and deviod of life. Then where will we be? Maybe then people will stop denying the undeniable facts. Perhaps then, when it's all said and done, people will open their eyes.
However, this is all wishful thinking. The problem with humanity, with the world, is the fact that we don't want to face the truth. We want to keep living in our dreamy state. Many I would consider to be casualties of war already. They might as well be dead.
Have you ever noticed how much people cuss now? Sometimes it's like they have contests to see how many cuss words they can cram into a single sentence. I'm not completely blamless on this score; I've cursed a few times myself, but that doesn't make it right. And how about those people who use the same one over and over and over again. Let's use a new one every now and then, huh? Do you want to know what I think? I think that cussing all the time, like so many of us tend to do, just shows a lack of vocabulary. So why do you do it? Why do you launch nasty, unuseful words at others? I guess there's yet another war to add to the list, the war of words. And people deny it! People deny the cussing, saying everyone does it while, indeed, everyone does not.
I still wonder why it is that we deny plain evidence. And as I dodge a bottle going to my room, escaping damage from a missle of my own home war, I will as you this question one more time; what is this world coming too?
