Mean People Suck...Love Them Anyway

Sometimes it feels like the world is totally against you. It feels easy to see enemies in every person you meet, in your family, friends, and coworkers. I know what I feel like when I feel so misunderstood and just want to make the world a better place. It's so easy to feel like no one cares and that no matter what you do there isn't really any way to change for the better. I think sometimes I feel down about society because to me, a lot of the time America is just a selfish, uncaring place and if you're one of those people who wants to change that, I can totally relate. I wish that love wasn't so hard to truly come by. Sure, at the end of the day you can count your friends but you can't really count on them it seems. Are we just supposed to move all the people who care and want to be the person who makes a difference onto some small island where we can all live together and not have to deal with the way the world is? I feel like that sometimes. Like there is no justice in me ever really trying to be kind or do good or see the positive in the situation because no one really cares or notices anyway. But I think it all really comes down to the fact that this world is evil and to truly shine in in, sometimes it feels like the only way to get by is to join that group and just give up on being who I truly am. I realize though, that nothing good can ever come of me changing my morals, and the fact that I care, because I won't be happy giving into that. I am going to keep pushing through the fire and looking at everyday like an opportunity to make the world a better place. Sure, people may judge me or misunderstand me and think that the way I am is just an excuse to avoid confrontation or to try to make myself look better than others. But in the end, only kindness matters. I've learned that, through tough times or not, being yourself is the only way to be. I will not give up the fight. I will continue to always love, choose good over evil, and put others before myself. Maybe that will make me suffer, and be below others, but I dont care. I want it this way because I know that I cannot truly be happy about always putting myself first. In this life, we have to honor what we believe, even when people knock us down, tell us we're wrong, or to just change because things will be easier. I will never take that path, and I don't care what I have to do. All people are good...we all bleed the same red blood. Making myself find the good in the situation is all I can do today..for myself and for others.
