A Call For Humanity, A Call For World Peace
WallPaperCave

What happened to the world? What happened to us?

Where did humanity go?

Whether it’s domestic or international, or whether an action is defined as a terrorist attack or a hate crime…

they both translate to fear.

It’s time to understand that peace is what we need.

to see it as the call that the world needs to hear.

A fear that unfortunately can not be taken away because regardless as to whether or not you're at home, out on vacation or simply exploring something new,

We are in danger.

It’s time to come together and find a solution-

One that will act as a life changer.

This is a fear that co-exists within us, because regardless of whether or not you knew it existed it,

it’s out there.

It’s time for us to stop shedding tears,

And to get rid of all these fears.

A fear that regardless of whether you know the “attacker” or not, it can touch you personally. It can happen to you or anyone of your loved ones.

It saddens me to see the home, the society and the world in which my children, grandchildren and future generations will grow up in.

It’s the scariest I’ve ever been.

Let our children run free in a world without worries

Where all they feel is the wind hitting their adorable faces,

And where they can withhold and retell only fun stories.

To be able to hold hands with one another, for them to understand that we all come from different places,

but smile in the same language.

Let them learn the beauty of a peaceful world and to look far beyond from the terror.

Let them experience its prettiness

And teach them the language of happiness

We’re creating a world that foresees the unthinkable but forgets the innocence that once lived within us. We live in a world that was meant to be kept and was once created to be our planet.

It was supposed to be a beautiful place in which we were to be safe,

So let us stop the hate,

Let us get rid of all this terror.

Let us create a better place.

Enough is Enough…

Love is LOVE.

Faith is FAITH.

We are all ONE.

**Istanbul... Orlando.... Paris.... Families... Victims... World.. we are with you.**

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
