Just Maybe

Mood: Agitated!
Alleged Alliteration: Sounding Off Defiance.
You know, I am so sick of the world. Everyone is so cruel, and nobody cares. People are dying to be loved -- in other words, commiting suicide -- because of the assholes in their lives, and no one gives a damn.
Have you ever thought that if we showed a little compassion, maybe -- just maybe -- things'd be different?
Girls are starving themselves because they're not "perfect". We are a society who idolizes sex icons and worships retards who never got a real education (yeah, take that Britney Spears), and I am just plain tired of it. And the poor guys! They feel like if they don't have Orlando Bloom's four pack abs that they'll never measure up to anything.
Why do we do this to ourselves? It's insane.
And you know what? I don't buy it anymore. Pete Wentz, Kirsten Dunst, Haylee Williams . . . They're all just people. Being famous doesn't make them better than us. Being "beautiful" doesn't either. Beauty is a thing that's more than skin deep.
It shouldn't matter if you're a prep, a goth, a nerd, or an emo, just as long as you're a good person. Just be you.
Because the only thing that's going to matter when you die is who you are as a person. If you don't know who you are, how can you ever say where you're going? If you try your best to imitate someone else all your life, well, that's not really a life at all.
And what is up with all these fashion zombies? Yeah, I agree that you should want to look nice. I mean, I don't expect people to dress like the hobo off on Main Street. But good grief! What the hell is up with Billabong and Aeropostale and crap? Who wants to spend twenty freaking bucks on a pair of jeans? We, as a society, are a greedy bunch of loathesome bastards.
There are people in China right now who are starving because of us. We're usurping all of their natural resources (bamboo, their precious and little amount of farmland, rare minerals) which they need to survive, and yet we still want more.
My home wouldn't even be here if it weren't for the retarded miners who wanted to get rich quick off of gold. And it's all for nothing.
We all die. Nobody's immortal. So why should you go crazy over trying to gain wealth which will never bring you happiness?
And I'm not trying to come off as a hypocrite. I like to go to Hot Topic and snag a couple of my favorite band's latest T-shirts. I like to buy the nice pair of earrings for fourty dollars for myself. But I'm not such an asshole that I don't think of anyone but myself.
Why is humanity like this?
My language arts teacher, bless her, had us watch a very opinionated political web video called "The Story of Stuff". You can find it on your favorite search engine and watch it yourself if you want to, I highly recommend it. Well, after seeing this, I knew it was focusing on only the bad stuff, and that it's just a lot of environmentalist hype, but it was pretty disgusting. To think that we waste that much crap . . . It just makes my teeth curl.
My point is, just maybe if we all tried to be better individually, life'd be just that little bit better. And maybe it's that little bit that'd make all the world of difference. Maybe it'd make this life bearable.
