What Really Causes Violent Attacks In Our World Today

Our world is getting more and more dangerous to live in. We're taking more steps to protect ourselves in our own towns that we live in. It's quite sad what things have become. It has become mass shooting, racial violence, and terrorist attacks. It's all terrible and there's one main source of it all.

We all wish these violent attacks would end. We all wish there was something we could do to end all of this, who wouldn't? Honestly, that's a hard thing to do. I, as well as everyone, wish it could be as easy as looking at a person and knowing that they are up to no good so we can stop them in their tracks. The truth is, there's one thing that causes all of this. It's not racism, it's not a particular group of people, it's none of those.

It's hate. Hate is what causes all of these attacks. Hate like this doesn't just come about at any random age, it starts young. If more parents taught their kids to love throughout their entire lives, hate in our world would diminish. Not only is it parents that have to teach their kids to love, it's teachers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and all influential role models in kids' lives. Terrorist attacks would go down by a lot, and our world would be a much safer place to live in. There would be much less wars, and we'd finally be able to live in more peace. Love is the answer.

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.
