I've had much on my mind lately, about many things. And the simplest way to sum it all up is this: Stand up, have some respect and dignity, and live in a way that makes others proud to know you. Be a hero.
I feel like we have no value in heroes in the American culture these days. I can't really say much for other cultures, as I'm not part of them. Anyway, no one takes pride in what they do. We focus on the flaws and say that it's what makes thins beautiful. We take wishful thinking, that our imperfections are what make us special, when that isn't always true. We are suffering froma generation of self-entitled spineless men and women who are too lazy to find something to believe in, and when they do, they are easily misguided and led astray.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you.
Temperance, humility, grace, respect, honesty, charity, and patience.
Sharing and waiting your turn.
All things we learned as children but never truly followed. It's amazing how different adults now are compared to the ones I remember as a child. Many of them are still stuck in a high school mentality, and even some of my friends I still see not as adults, but children.
It's quite troubling.
In any case, I plan to be different, and in the same way I usually am. I want to be better. Even better than I am now. And to anyone who reads this self-important waste of a blog, I implore you to do the same.
Stand up, act with dignity and honor, treat others with respect, and be a decent human being. You're not the only one of us after all.
