Your signature says t all.
Put your differences aside. Most people don't understand, see and a lot of the times would disagree, but truth is we are all living animals with a conscience. If we just realize that we are organisms made of tissues and cells, most people "know" that but don't understand what they know. Take out your bias and take out your attachment. We are noting more than material, think I am wrong? Press your hands against your stomach, can you visualize anything under the skin? Try your head, jaw, hand... There is something under your skin and it is not an "everlasting soul". Who is going to remember you when you die one hundred years from now. One hundred years ago we had almost two billion, now we have a little more than seven billion. Chances are that we won't make an impact on the people of the future but if we treat the people we meet today with respect and love each other for just the fact we all have to live in this world and suffer the same pains.
Stop hating the things you do not have or the people that have what you want or the people you think is keeping what you want from you. Love what you have and love the the next person, no one asked to be in this world.
The "world" is all your perception, but if you make someone else's perception your's, your perception becomes the "world's".
100% true but for some reasons hard to bear in mind,
it's not easy to accept that in the end we are only flesh and bones
At least you know. Just live life with a smile and make the best of what you have. It is not a bad thing that we are flesh and bones but the world makes a lot more sense when we know that.
There are 7 billion people in this world and there are a lot of great, nice, amazing people, but there are just as many stupid, arrogant, crazy people that I could hate. With the amount of people there are in this world, a number more than I could ever count, I can expect that there are a lot of stupid, arrogant, crazy people in this world. Anything can happen. Everyone wants to pursuit happiness but no one wants to despair. Politicians may be corrupt and society may be wrong but in the end we need to pity them instead of despising them.
I feel sorry for the manslaughterer as if the society tried to understand him more and treat him, this may not have happened. I feel more suppressed sorrow for the young kids, teachers and the family affected. It would be too sad for me to think about the unbearable headache, despair, and emotional distress they are in. I would never want to lose my younger brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, aunt, uncle, mother, father that way. I would be in a tornado of denial. No one should lose a family member during this normally joyous season. Their lives will change forever and be reminded every year that you once gave a smile to your child but nothing you give can bring that smile back or even your own smile of pleasing your child. I can't imagine how many years have to go by before they get over it. It is like losing years of your life to one thought, "When can they come back, when can I go back?"
