There are only a few reasons why I am alive. One, I am alive
so I can be a messenger, a witness to the cold and cruel world. Two, I am alive
to help others using my specific skill set. Three, I live to protect the ones
that I love. And four, I live to achieve what I want out of life. Life's
pleasures along the way are just the bonuses I earned. Ask anyone you know, and
ask them how long they can live without their
cell
phones or
iPods.
The answer will probably be not even a minute. In the developed countries, most
of the people have not realized the harsh truth and think that the
technological inventions are part of their lives and they won't be wrong but
nature has a way of ripping a soul away from body no matter what technological
inventions can do. There's no one way to simplify the matter of harshness and
the cruelty of the other half of
the
world. Most people in this part of the world, fortunately, did not have to
go through the harsh reality of starvation, execution, ethnic cleansing, and
doing the most extreme things to survive. I, personally do not expect everybody
to understand what goes on around the world but at least I desire people to
understand that this is not the whole world, and be mindful of the things happening
in the other countries because we live in the same world. If we are not
mindful or aware of half the things that goes on around the world, our general
intelligence will dramatically decline. Some people think that they know
everything, walking around the hallways trying to preach to people what they
think you need to and what is expected of you. I generally do not agree with
anything they say because all they know is Lowell. They were born in Lowell,
they went to schools in Lowell, and they work in Lowell. Therefore all they
know is Lowell and everything that they say is all influenced by Lowell. Please
don't get me wrong, I am not saying that I know everything, and I definitely do
not have any problems with people telling me about what I need to do and such
but there's always a limit for everything. Once they step out the limit, I
break down. And of course I have to be quite because I live in a bureaucracy.
The bottom line here is none of us know everything, and we are going to
disagree on matters and that is perfectly normal but sometimes we have to be
respectful of each other’s opinions. I live to tell the tales that some never
got the chance to and these are the reasons why I am alive.
