being sad sometimes. I mean my life is all and well, and I have nothing to complain about or be upset over. But for the past little while i have been becoming upset for know reason directly related to me. I mean I'll I have to do is turn on the freakin news and Im upset. Its hard for me to watch idoly by while people die all over the world for know reason. I mean war...when has war created peace? Not even after the holocaust...because Jewish people are looked at as a race and not a religion. (from my observations) Me being me I think people who ever they are shouldn't be looked at as a race, as black or whit, yellow or green. But as a human being! No matter what nationality, sexual orentation, colour, religion, gender, hair color, body type, colthing style, musical prefrence etc etc... You should be looked at as a human being ...not an "emo:, not "black, white" not "jewish" or "christian". Its driving me absolutly nuts. I all I can do is tell people that rasicim sucks and stick up for people. I don't want to change them... I just want them to respect people and humanity. I mean I don't know what else to do. Im only 15 and have been told repeatedly that what I have to say doesn't matter because im still young and haven't lived as long blah blah blha. Just cause Im 15 doesn't mean I haven't lived or that Im blind. I can see whats going on! I can feel the pain of whats going on! Im losing faith in the world...and its completly upsetting me and I don't know what to do anymore. Know one is willing to listen because im to "young". I just don't know what to do anymore. i know the worlds not perfect, but it could at least try to progress in that direction. Its soo far from its depressing!
just sleep for 5 years and then people will listen to you........ A bit of advice.........Get over it, theres nothing more you can do, than the most you can do, if you know what i mean.......getting depressed isnt going to make it go away
Yeah, even though it's depressing, I would have to agree with Lalalmort. All you can really do is stay positive and try to positively affect the people around you. But don't expect anything. People are hard to change. And definitely don't worry about the world situation. That is a clear road to depression. It's not your fault. And you can't change it. Just focus on your life and the people you come in contact with...but again, without any expectations. But it might comfort you to know that I think most people have been through this idealistic phase in life. I think it's a great thing to go through once, as long it's just a phase. It shows you are a really good, caring and sensitive person.
Thanks guesting400 and lalalamort, I know I should just get over it. Its just kind of hard for me for some reason. But your right both of you. Thanks!
I think accepting the world is the path to being happy in it. You have to accept reality and acknowledge the fact that some day you will get diseased and some day you will die. It happens to everyone. Buddhism might be worth learning about. As for the state of the world, events are taking place that will untimately unfold and force us to change our current course (bunch of complicated and perhaps boring Marixst theory can explain it). All I can say is that it will get worse before it gets better. There will be an increase in Fascist policys before the government is fixed. We can't do it the easy way, and there will be much more suffering taking place soon and continuing to take place. You're not the only one who is unhappy with the state of the world. Millions of people are, but the majority isn't unhappy enough to change it yet. Someday they will be though.
Brand New Soul, I know exactly how you feel... Seeing the state of the world makes feel me angry, sad, dissapointed, hopeless, helpless... I know how hard it is to just ignore it. Also, if I try to accept it, I just feel guilty, cos I know I should be doing something! The only thing you can do is spend your time doing things that make you happy or at least less stressed out. Unfortunately, age has a lot to do with what one can actually achieve, so it's pretty pointless to dwell on things you can't change. Try to avoid the news and things like that if it makes you upset. I know there are negative forces all over the world, but life is full of positives too! This sounds naff but focus on them. If you feel your mind dwelling on the negatives, just snap it out of that dark place and think about something else. I think there's only one person you can change-yourself. You can alter your viewpoint, and in the end, that's all that matters. Anyway, that's my opinion. Hope it helps.
Thanks pineapple ! That actually has helped. And I have been looking on the positive or trying to. But someday hopefully I can change or influence a change. I know thats a lot of wishing and a big dream. But Im a Dreamer dang it. But it pretty pointless to dwell on it your all right about that. Its not going to change anything. Being upset isn't helping the world its just adding in away I guess. So from now on as Green said I have to accept the way it is. Thanks all of you No word of a lie its honestly opened up my eyes thanks
