Two views of the world exist.
View number one.
The world is full of possibilities and, to the untrained
eye, it houses secrets even we cannot unfold. In reality, people achieve
greatness every day. When alarms awaken souls every morning, those souls choose
to wake up. Rather than remain in bed for the day, they choose to use each day
and drain it of its possibilities because they want to rise above their colleagues
and peers so they achieve success. Each day grants people new dreams,
adventures and hopes for their futures. Smiles cover their faces and their
skies are crystal-clear even on dreary, snow-covered days because they adore
life and its opportunities. Aside from what life gives them, their families and
friends give them the laughter they need on days filled with stress, and love
when life does not hand them the lemons they need.
View number two.
Sometimes, life gets too hard. Waking up becomes the largest
struggle of the day – until passing through each day comes along. People
blend together and overcasts flood their surroundings. Rather than rejoicing
for the first day back to classes, they dread pacing themselves through the
bland hallways so they don’t have to quietly sit in the back of the first class
long enough for the steady hum of the lights to drive them completely insane.
Sleep becomes their sanctuary and hope is long-gone. Futures erase and dreams
are replaced. Heads fill with ideas of death and ceasing the inflicting pain of
living another day. All the while, their peers whisper about the oddity of
their quiet demeanors.
A world filled with happiness and love is the same world
covered in blackness and neglect. Take these two halves of the world and make
it one.
I agree with all these views. However, the second part is a bit vague because in my opinion and personal experience, a person can dread opening their eyes and walking through the halls at school or clocking in to their jobs because their personal aspirations are so much bigger than what they are required to do every day. They see what they are being told to do by society as a means to an end. I think most are waiting and hoping for an opportunity to break free of that and do what they love. Whether they be 16 or 63. Good work though, you have an awesomely broad mind!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the feedback. I agree with your view on dreading walking through school because your aspirations are much bigger than what lies within the halls; however, I only meant this because many kids are teased or bullied and that causes them to hate their lives.
