Today I will write about some of my personal thoughts and hopefully be a good piece for you guys to read and maybe open your eyes a bit more. The hate that has been raising in our nation the past few years have been tragic. I have seen various hate crimes being demonstrated in this once great nation. Suicide is one of the results of this hate according to befriend.org suicide rates have gone up by 60% worldwide. This not only means that this hate is really affecting people it also proves we are ignorant. We are ignorant because sometimes we talk bad about others not knowing the battles they fight in their own. I know we have all at some point felt that we have hit rock bottom but no one realize you feel defeated, the world has to change it's mind set to help those individuals.
Now we might wonder what is there for us to do ? Well, maybe if we stopped showing maximum hate for the smallest reasons than maybe we could actually understand each other. Sometimes color or gender preference is what makes people receive prejudice. In my mind that is just ignorant a person's color or gender should be a valid reason to segregate them. Who knows maybe being a little more open minded could've prevented a persons suicide. We are all humans why is it so hard for us to accept everyone black,brown,white,lesbian, or straight those differences shouldn't be a barrier to us all being equal.
Everyone fights a battle we don't know of. We don't know what is going through people's heads or lives so we should try to make people feel welcomed and try to at least give people a little break from their personal problems. It is easy for us to judge a person not knowing what made a person the way they are. In my case I have fought my own battles by myself and I won't lie and say at times I have felt like I have hit rock bottom but no one will see that side of me because we all focus on a person's looks. People tend to mistake my laughter for happiness and my silence for sadness but the reality is different. I tend to laugh a lot when go through things because its easier to be able to get through the day because laughter can actually cure any negativity in your life. I also tend to crack a joke about people's problems so they can laugh at their OWN problems and so that problem doesn't seem so tough because I know what is like to go through your issues alone and I know that I at least did something to brighten a person's day.
As you guys see even simple things can make a person's day better. I know in the start it may look like I would've talked about hate rather than what to do to contradict the hate but the world is to great to focus in hate. Lets rather think of ways to get rid of the hate.
