Together

United we stand, divided we fall.

How do we know what’s right or wrong? How can we fight the injustice of the world? There’s only one way the world will change for the better.

After Brexit, continually we see the rise of leaders who are like Donald Trump, people who want to take their country back.

This is because ultimately and logically speaking there only exists understanding. The lack of understanding is ignorance. But ignorance and understanding are in a way the same side to the same coin. To further understand something is to become ignorant of not understanding it. Yet, it is not the same in that to be ignorant is to understand.

It is neither to understand, nor be ignorant, that is how realization is born. To be aware of that which is, and how it is. Humans don’t want to live by the hatred of one another, we all want to be loved and happy. Yet society deludes us because the roots of greed go very deep.

Has the time come for us to remember our roots, but rise above them? Remember where we’ve come from, but not to let that get in the way of where we are going? How can we do this? When people get together to change the world, when people come together by the millions, anything is possible.

We decide what kind of world we want to live in, and the impossibility of a peaceful world is drilled into society. A peaceful world though is only impossible because we think it is. There are far better ways to solve problems than by killing.

It is depressing actually, that we still haven’t learned this. We’ve been here so long, have so much history recorded and it’s all right in front of us, yet we remain blind to it. If you ask what this thing is, then that is indicative that you don’t understand. It means you perceive this thing as a constant entity that can be understood and upon reaching that understanding you now understand it. This is not the case.

This thing is understanding itself, it is a process. It itself cannot be understood because it is itself. The way in which most people understands does not allow them to see this, they narrow their minds and cannot see beyond their own created barriers. Only the nature of understanding, how it acts can begin to be understood which gives us insight to understanding itself.

It is a constant struggle, to work with that which is occurring in the world around us, especially since in today’s world so much happens that prevents us from having these thoughts. So many people die for a week so that they can live for a weekend. But even farther, there are children, brothers, sisters, fathers, and mothers that are dying out there.

Families everywhere are being shattered by war, and until people begin to reach this realization that I have spoken of, the senseless killing will remain. It may not be easy, it actually in theory is the most difficult thing that can ever be done. But at what point, will we say “Enough is enough?” At what point will we come together with the roots planted in us of those who have come to pass through the greed of cruel men? The time has passed for us to take our fate into our own hands, but will we choose to take our world back from those that insist on dividing it apart? United we stand, divided we fall.


He saw it as much as everyone: "When people stand together, and are prepared to fight back, there is nothing that can't be accomplished."

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.
