So we are close to the end of the first month of 2012. Things are just beginning to take off from their starting point. Rather they be good or bad things. Though things will usually get worse before they get better. Which is kind of the suckish part about life, but it you keep looking foward and look past all of the negative and bad things you can see that there are still good things to come.
So last week since I couldn't post onto Blogger I typed a sort of thought thing I guess you would call it. It isn't fully finished yet and still needs some touch up's but it is better than nothing at all. And I think that everything is said in it is the truth and that we really do need to take it into consideration at times. So if you want to read it I am going to copy it onto this post.
Looking Within and Out
Everyday
someone kills themselves, we might not hear about it or really care why they
killed themselves. We only see the part as to where they did kill themselves,
we don’t ponder over why they did it or was it an accident or on purpose. We
never ask the questions of were they bullied, abused, misunderstood, or the big
thing is depressed.
We never
seem to want to know what is really going on or happening around us. We think
that everything is drama and do not want to get involved. Well maybe that is
just what we need to do is get involved, go up to someone you looks like they
need help and ask that awkward, unsure what is going to happen next question:
Is something wrong and can I help? This question just on the outside of it looks
like a scary place to go a unsure thing to do, but maybe if you were to just
spend some time looking within it you would see that this question can open up
a whole new world for someone who really needs the question to be asked.
Asking that
question to someone that you have maybe never talked to and just seen in the
halls and thought nothing of them will help not only them, but you too. Asking
a simple question which others might think is stupid could possibly save
someone’s life. You could maybe save someone’s life you never know. Yes asking
a question to someone that you do not know, or to someone that might not be in
your clique may seem as a wrong thing to do or you might think that your
friends will stop talking to you and ignore you all because you talked to the
“weird person”. Though friends are supposed to be friends no matter who you are
or talk to, and if they themselves cannot accept you for talking to someone
that just might need it then they are not true friends at all.
Say one day
you are walking in the halls at school or you are out somewhere and you see
someone who is dressed is black and is alone with headphones in their ears. And
inside you know that something is wrong and that helping would not be the
logical thing to do when with your friends, but maybe if you were to walk up to
that person and ask a question they might open up to you and talk. And then
after a while things might change with them, they might start to dress
different, act different, be this completely different person that you had met
that day. You could be the reason that they changed their life for the best,
changed because you were willing to go out of your way, ignore what others say
and help out someone who needed it the most. Then one day you come to find out
that that night they were going to go home and overdose one pills to end the
pain they felt. House would that make you feel within if you found out that you
went outside of you comfort zone and help them.
Wouldn’t
that make you feel important, that you helped to save their life, that if it
wasn’t for you they wouldn’t have a chance to live a life of wonderful things,
laughing, playing, relationships, and the future they are destined to have.
Wouldn’t you knowing that you saved them and opened up so many doors for them
and also you in return got a true friend who would be their for you when you
would need it them most.
Though
let’s take it from a different point, what if you wouldn’t have gone up to them
and asked them what was wrong and if you could do anything to help? The next
day you would go to school as if nothing ever happened and if was a usual day,
but then on the loud speaker your principal comes on and says that last night
one of your class mates had over dosed and killed them self. Some people might
not think anything about it and just go on with their life as it is, but what
if you are not like that and you think to yourself what could of happened if I
would have helped, what if I would have asked the question and not cared what
my friends would think about me? Would they still be alive today, would they be
sitting in their class learning and listening to the principal say something
else on the loud speaker?
We don’t
realize what is really there until it is gone. Maybe if were weren’t to just
look on the outside of things and actually try to look at what is within we can
do so much more, if we just look at the outside of things then we wouldn’t
understand things, wouldn’t be as we are today. We wouldn’t help nor look at
things from a different point of view. Everything would seem to be bias in every aspect. And some opinions would be over used or to outspoken, and this would cause chaos in a major way.
Taking
small steps in everything will allow you to look within what you are doing, you
won’t just see the cover of something won’t be able to judge it just by its
cover. You will be able to see things for what they truly are. Sometimes this
isn’t always going to be a good thing, not everything is good but if we did not
have them bad things then we wouldn’t get the experiences, wouldn’t be able to
look within.
