Where Has The Humanity Gone?

Has society lost all of its sense of humanity, or are we that blind?

Where Has The Humanity Gone?
scriptshadow.net

The other day I went to the movie theater and I saw Deep Water Horizon. As I watched the movie, and I realized that the deaths were truly caused by BP's greed and lust, I realized that that is a force of nature that can be reckoned with o term of civilization losing their humanity. It was not enough to be a multi-billion dollar company but instead, they had to throw away the morals of safety and humanistic common values of caring for one another well-being and it cost men their lives. People know the risks of dangerous jobs, but when the people that we put in trust of our lives play with the gun that is in our mouths, and they toy with the string attached to the trigger that has a dollar on the other end, who are we to trust when civilization is run, and functions around such individuals?

It is not just this one incident that it to blame. Look at sweat shops, discrimination, racism, politics, murderers, rapists, or anything to do with a humanistic value gone wrong. I grow nauseous at the thought of living in such a world. I grow disgusted at the thought that we drone on throughout life thinking that life is just, and what we have made of it is all we can do. That we function with the system that implores us to go to endless amounts of school, get a high paying job and have a family. As if everyone has the opportunity, as if everyone is made equal. The problem with the system is that it is a system made around dollar signs and technology failed to realize that the world is ever changing and evolving in ways that cannot be contained by paper and numbers. It is being evolved into a place where there is a rich and a poor, there is a black and a white. There are going to be the same sexes that fall in love and the time is coming where individuals will no longer hide who they are as a person. We are learning that you should be you no matter how low it may bring you because the right people will love the person that you are truly meant to be. There is inequality, and I believe that one day the system will fall to pieces the way individuals have left themselves behind trying to become a part of something that was never truly meant for them. The system is not meant for humanity, that is why there is so little of it left.

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.
