human connection. real human connection. life at it’s best. love. feel. listen. embrace. have empathy. empathy for everyone. I have not lived in other people’s shoes. I never will. the best I can do is listen. really listen. listen with love. feel. be open. do not be a closed book. a closed book filled with fear and ego. fear and ego ruining the world that we live in. does anybody read anymore? art much more important than politics. politics where old white businessman fill the bellies of their old white rich friends while disregarding the rest of our society. greed. how does one become so greedy? so needy? so angry? so dull? so hateful? so stuck in their ways? old outdated rules being followed by old dull rule followers who are too patriotic and too small minded. where’s the love? where’s the respect? where’s the understanding. when you begin to fall apart and start dying a slow and painful death will you still blame immigrants? still blame women? still blame muslims? blame jews? blame blacks? the blame game is plenty but when you are sick and dying does the hate really matter? wouldn’t love be more important then? and if it is more important then, wouldn’t it be more important now?
what is life?
really think about it. what is it? we are all slowly dying. day after day we are closer to death. would you rather go out doing things you love to do? what do you love to do? has facebook and IG become too much of a distraction for you? constant fighting and bickering with people over politics. over religion. over #metoo. over #blacklivesmatter. fighting but with no real argument. no real love. no real empathy. no real understanding.
life.
what is it to you?
what is it for you?
life can be really short for some.
life can be really long for other’s. and even when it is long it goes by too quickly. you look at yourself in the mirror one day and you are fifty years old.
what impact do you want?
what do you want to be remembered for?
remembered as?
love is stronger than hate.
why is their hate?
we are all human beings.
respect.
stop following news feeds that promote HATE.
start small.
connect.
human connection is so important and yet many choose to hide. hide in fear. but fear of what? rejection? rejection from what?
DON’T HIDE.
LIVE.
CONNECT.
LOVE.
DON’T SAY, “I LOVE YOU.” and then retreat to your shell. retreat to your wall. break down the wall. SMASH IT DOWN AND CONNECT.
sirens blaring.
ambulances racing.
beautiful music playing while someone is slowly dying. doctor’s unable to save them. one last breath. eyes looking for love but love and life about to end.
silence.
real silence.
breathe.
LOVE.
the end.
