If today were your last

We were all born into a world of madness, crime, violence, disobedience …basically a world of sin. Our parents are here to raise us and teach us the ways of the world; the things we need to do to thrive and survive on this earth. Sadly, there are some things that they will not be able to save us from like disease, tragedy, plague, and even a broken heart. Yes, it is possible to die of a broken heart people. But how would you live your life if you knew what was going to kill you, when you were going to die, and where it would happen?
I feel as if people are living their lives without thinking about the consequences that follows every decision we make. Newton’s third law of motion states: “For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction”. This law is mostly heard of in the classroom while learning about something along the lines of physics, but it can also be applied to how we live our lives. Let’s say you found a twenty-dollar bill sitting on the ground next to someone outside. You have a decision to pick it up and walk away twenty dollars richer or you can ask the person sitting next to the bill if it belongs to them. Option one: you now have twenty dollars to do as you please, but the other person now has twenty fewer dollars in their pocket. What if that was the only money they had on them and they needed it for food, a book, maybe even gas. Option two: you ask the person if the bill belongs to them instead of deciding their fate for them. If it does belong to them then you’ve done your good deed for the day; and even if it didn’t belong to them but they took it anyway, then they’ll have to deal with that consequence when it comes to them. Karma, a simple yet effective word stating nothing but the truth…what goes around comes around.
I am a religious type of person that believes one day I will be judged for how I have lived my life on this earth. I see life as an opportunity to help others and still help myself. There’s no need to break others down to get to where you want to be. Please understand the word “want” and not “need”, because the only things we need are the things that keep us alive and protected. People are raised and taught to be dirty, conniving, mischievous back-stabbers. Why hurt someone else and push him or her down for you to move up in this world. Oh, I almost forgot, it’s the corruption that has gotten into peoples’ heads these days. Every manipulative and deceitful decision we make sets us one step backwards from the person I believe we were all created to be; Someone kind and caring, a person who will put others before themselves. Growing up, I didn’t understand that because that was not what I witnessed. I was damn near tortured every day of my life growing up as a homosexual being. I thought that if they were cruel to me then I would need to be cruel back to get the respect that I deserved, but that’s not the case. These trials and hardships in my life have taught me otherwise. When I do good onto others, I feel better about myself and nothing can take that away from me.
I ask that you all take a look back at the decisions you have made throughout your entire life and question if you would be okay if some of those things were done to you. I know that everyone isn’t religious but our day of judgments is coming. If you can prepare for finals, then you can prepare for this. Assess yourself and make a change if you see fit. When we die, that’ll be the end of us forever and what you have done while here on this earth is what will be left behind when you leave this earth. People should remember you for all the good you have done for yourself, others and even your community. Make a positive change for the younger generations so they won’t make the same mistakes. The signs are here people…you just have to open your eyes and pay attention. #lifeisatest
