Things aren’t always what we make of them. Maybe it will change.

      Growing up without any real family give you an interesting insite to things going on around you. Too, many time in our life we forget that we each have a different point of view and that we shouldn’t judge what others do or say. There is a thing called free speech. But, we should all be careful what say to the wrong people because it could come back and bite us in the behind.

     I was reading something the other day and it got me thinking about the violence that has been going on every where in the world. I wondered if we should really stick our noses in where we think we should or should we mind our own business. When those planes hit the towers in New York City, should we have been more careful about what was really going on in the world. Sure, it wasn’t right of people to have done it and we did lose a lot of friends and family. But, is it right to declare war on a country? That’s a question that every person should come up with thier own answer for.

     Growing up without family to surport me in a world that seems to have given me nothing to look forward too. Then, my reasoning came to me that I’m in control of all the things in my life. I chose who I want to have in it. I even chose how and what I write about. I know that not everyone is going to agree with everything I have to say, but theres nothing wrong with having my own opion.

    To me, watching the news can be depressing. Most everything you see isn’t postive, mostly negative. There’s not enough people out there that really care enough to help those that need it. If we would care about what really happens in this world maybe things wouldn’t be quite as bad. Oh, I forget! We have no control over it.

    Have you ever thought that this life could be just one big dream? That its something that is so unreal that if we were to wake up we might actually be some where else.

     Well, maybe I’m just raving and don’t know what I’m talking about. Will see what comments I get.

    You grew up without family,I grew up with 3 moms,3 dads and 8 siblings.And all I wanted was a quiet corner to hide in to read a book or write.Most of the news anymore isnt good and thats the sad part about it.When it comes to polotics and those involved,I think its natural for them to stick there forks in everyone elses pies.When their pie is just s good as ours only more expensive.I wish life was one big dream we are living since its very hard and not going to be any better soon.I want to wake up in a park on a cool summer day with lemonade and a book about edgar Allen Poe in my hands reading it.With a new tablet by me so i can turn his fantastic work into an article that will be read by my writing peers.Now Im dreaming,cant sit in a park reading mid October.Back to reality and the harsh unforgiving world we live in.But its ok to rant,we have to express our thoughts/concerns in that fashion or just as you did.I liked this,gave you something to think about.

    I see exactly where you are coming from. I often wonder about all these things and most if the time i think the world would be better off if we kept our noses out of everyone elses’s business. We all should have the right to live as we see fit in our own little corner.
