What The World Needs Now.....

How many of us truly live?
Do we show the people we love everyday how we feel about them?
Do we tell them all the time how much they mean to us?
Are we willing to truly stand by our convictions?
Are we willing to fight for justice and what is right?
What are we willing to do for those we love?
How much would we really give up for our fellow man?
How many of us can love like we've never been hurt?

Everyday I look around me at other people; selfishness, cold, ungrateful, closed off, heartless, are some words that come to mind to describe what I see. However, I can not judge, as I am no better. I know I was raised better, but in the end I think fear gets the best of us. I believe it's why people behave the way they do, it's because they are afraid. The thought of being vulnerable, of caring, of being selfless is too scary and so we sit back and become complacent and detached. It's so sad and it makes me weep. I know there are people out there, who can say yes to all the questions I ask, but they are so far and few. I just wonder when the rest of us will follow suit. I hope it's sooner than later as the world needs humanity and love more than ever these days.
