Enough With The Tricks

We have been fooled.

Enough With The Tricks

We are headed for dark times if we don't break away from the spell that they have human kind under. They have tricked us into different groups in every aspect of our lives. Once we pinpoint the deceptions, then we can begin to move forward as one.

Let's look at some of the ways they trick us into thinking that we are different. One of the main ways is mainstream media — do you realize that from the age that we are able to take in information they start feeding our brains and telling us what is acceptable in "their society." Like how to dress, how to speak and basically how to live our very lives.

Another way is religion. I know this might upset some people, but yes, religion is a tool of division. If you give it real thought, religion is a club and it teaches people to look down or be less likely to accept another individual just based on their beliefs or lifestyle.

One more way is "race" pertaining to skin color or culture. It's sad that the only thing that truly separates some people from others is the skin color of another person, because they may have everything else in common, like religion, same social status, like the same sports team but yet never talk because they have been taught to not trust or associate with someone of a different color.

My friends, all of this stuff is just ignorance imposed on us by the so-called elite generations. We must break free from their lies that they use to keep us fighting one another, because if we stopped living through their ignorance, we would be able to come together and focus on them and realize that we don't need them to be a successful society.

So I say to all that reads this in the words of Robert Nesta Marley, "One love, one heart and one destiny." If you think about those words we are the deciding factor in humankinds destiny whether it be coming together for the greater good or perish fighting against one another. Peace and love! Power back to the people!

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.
