An Open Letter To Society About The Dangers Of Money

Dear fellow humans,

Our world is run by money. People work to earn it and work to spend it. People fight, scream, cry and die over money. Doesn't that sound silly? But when you think about it, you've fought for your money. If you ever got ripped off on your paycheck or were not paid the right amount, you probably screamed and cried because you were upset. That's not all money does.

Money is love of no limits. People love money, sometimes more than living humans. Love in itself is a crazy thing. People will do "whatever" it may be in the name of loving money.

Money harms and destroys. It tears families, friendships, and relationships apart. It can harm people physically, mentally, and emotionally. On a larger scale, wars between countries have begun over monetary disputes. Why do people wish death upon others for money? What good does that do?

Money is greed. People want more and more. There is no end. In today's society and especially in the economy, being greedy with money is common. Every aspect of life revolves around it, resulting in selfishness and the dramatic occurrences we all become acclimated too.

We only wish for peace with one another in terms of money. But until then, every dollar, every cent, means someone out there will "die to have it."

Sincerely,

a fellow human

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.
