Whatever Happened....

to the idea of PEACE?
or at least focusing on the positive?
is it just me or does the world seem to be in an everlasting state of turmoil? whatever happened to those wonderful people who advocate peace and love and and and whatever else! I have made this statement before but our generation does NOT know how to protest! Or really to have their voice heard. I am beginning to think more and more that the most important thing that we can do as humans is to say our opinions and to listen to others and really just love every thing and everyone. Maybe I am a "tree hugger" or whatever but I don't care. I am an advocate for a peaceful world and for trying to resolve things in ways other than fights and war. I have faith in the human race still. I believe that we can pull ourselves out of this spiral of destruction and extend our hands out to our brethren and find someone holding their hands out to us. Like those shirts from when we were little with the world and all the people standing on the surface holding hands. Whatever happened to those?
It's like John Lennon said: "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one" and I know that I am not the only one still out there. All of you who believe that peace is still possible and that the world could be and should be a more loving, accepting, trusting place need to rise up and make your voices heard. I'm trying to. It may take decades or even centuries before we're set right again, but it is not out of reach yet.
Take some time and listen to these songs:
Imagine- John Lennon
Mona Lisa-All American Rejects
Someday-Plain White T's
Northern Downpour-Panic at the Disco
Sello Tape-Flight of the Conchords (I'm a nerd I know)
*Sorry for the constant references to songs-but that is pretty much how I live my life, with music playing.
