Today I was just thinking about our world. How horrible things in it are, but also how wonderful.
Terrorists are attacking people, global warming is killing our earth, and many organizations that take away our rights have not been stopped. Ferguson, Eric Garner and many others have been treated unfairly, even when killed. They were trying to give us a better past and present, but instead we gave them no future. Storms like Sandy have hit our country and places around it, and people are left homeless and stranded. And we call ourselves a great world. But then you begin to think about the happy things. The empowering things that make you burst into tears of happiness. They push you forward, so that even though so many have died, things are being born. They let us focus on the life in the world. Parent's coming home from the military, rescue dogs being saved, the looks on those people's faces are what make our world. Then there are the funny things, like the "Linda, honey, listen to me," video clip, and the Jimmy Fallon show. The Ice Bucket Challenge, and that moment when soccer players score the winning goal in the world cup, things that we could never forget. All of this shapes our world.
Sincerely,
Everything Eli
