Weapon Of Mass Destruction

It is always something new.

It's to the point now where everyday it's something new.

A different shooting in a different country with a different killer.

Club shootings, airport bombings, slain police, innocent civilians murdered. It's always something new.

To me it doesn't seem to be guns, knives, bombs killing everyone. It's the ultimate weapon of mass destruction..

Hate.

There is more hate walking around now more than ever. There is also more fear now than ever. We shouldn't be scared to leave our home, go to concert, a mall, or even school. You can't stop hate. You can't control it. You can only hope the amount of it evaporates. Because I am sick of waking up in the morning and seeing something new.

I'm not scared of guns or knives. I'm not afraid of an animate object. I am scared of the person holding it who has so much hate in their heart that they aren't afraid to use it. Hate.. that's the weapon I'm scared of.

I am sad for everyone who has suffered losing a loved one. We shouldn't have to see families hurt over senselessness. But it's to the point now where I'm mad. I'm mad that some people in this world wake up and choose hate over love. That word right there, Love, maybe that is the solution.

Love is the ONLY solution for all this hatred. Love is the only way to stop this madness. Love is the only way to have peace again. Love is the weapon I'm not afraid to use.

Love is the ultimate weapon of mass stability.

Today, tomorrow, and everyday I ask you to pray. Pray to whatever God you believe in and ask for peace, love, and elimination of hate. The devil is very much alive, and I feel like it more now than ever.

There is a greater force out there that is powerful. More powerful than the devil. More powerful than these killings. More powerful than we as humans could ever imagine.

Living in a peaceful world is possible. We just have to pray and remember how much more good LOVE does than HATE.


I leave you with this Bible verse.

"The steadfast LOVE of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness." - Lamenations 3:22-23

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
