In the past couple of weeks there have been tragic stories of teenagers committing suicide due to bullying. I am truly sad and heartbroken over these events and I hope and pray their families and loved ones heal and emerge as strong people.
What really disturbs me is that bullying continues to be a major problem. We all need to respect one another no matter skin color, appearance, sexuality, status, etc. We were all born into a world that already has a lot of problems. It's our job to love one another to make everyone's lives a little easier.
We are all the same no matter how you want to splice it. We all desire the same things, we all seek to find a good place in life, and we all want to find love. It doesn't matter who you love. It doesn't matter what you love. Love is universal, not reserved for only certain people. It's within everyone and everything. I believe in every major religious doctrine love is described as the ultimate gift that rules all. Why can't people remind themselves of this?
Religion aside, we were made by one universal Creator and I know that our Creator loves each and everyone of us. Our Creator wouldn't want us to use our words to hurt someone. Words are very powerful things and when used with malice they can destroy a soul. Our Creator I'm sure weeps when we use our words with ill intent.
Don't let people kick you. You need to fight for what you believe in. Show the ignorant the light. Teach them that we are all the same people and we are all here to live, love, be happy and lead a long, fulfilled life.
As adults we need to set positive examples for our children. We can't fail the future. We need to ensure that our children are safe, loved, and protected. Especially in the advanced society we live in. Let's learn from our mistakes and let everyone know that it is okay to be the unique, beautiful people they are.
There is always hope. Let's start now.
Take care kids, and know that I love you all no matter what.
