Suck

So tired. Summer school is terrible... three hour classes in a hot, stuffy room that smells fishier than Michael Jackson, along with the pickled ball sweat reeking from every inch of the room, and the constant barrage of Calculus.

Hamilton kind of sucks too. It's like being doused in fresh urine.

Today, of all days.

It's been yet another year.

Sometimes I wonder,
If I were to follow you...
But no, I guess not.

It's been too long,
And the sun still hasn't risen.

The Meaning of Life

This world is insane.

People are so lazy these days. I used to play outside all the time when I was a kid. I used to build snow forts, and play tag, and ride around on my bike trying to do wheelies and 'no hands'...

But the world has changed. I hardly see kids outside anymore, because most of them are stuck inside playing video games and watching youtube. When was the last time my friends called me? Now it's just MSN and Facebook.

I was asking my friends what they thought of current events. Hardly anyone knows what G8 is. No, it's not the 'Great Eight'. No one cares about Omar Khadr, no one even knows what Guantanamo Bay means. The apparent Russian missile crisis falls on deaf ears.

What happened? People are so willing to let the world pass them by, to just watch as events take place around them, but are unwilling to help at all. Global warming is just something someone else will deal with. 'The world can't affect me' is a common cry amongst the ignorant. Do you really believe that worldwide events can't harm you? 15-year-old Jordan Manners was shot in school. This could happen to anyone, anywhere. Of course the world can affect you.

I always claimed there was a greater ambition than to merely standing high in the world. It's to kneel down and lift the rest of the world a little higher. Who do we remember in history? We remember Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King Jr, Mahatma Ghandi, Jesus Christ. These are the people who gave their lives to serve, to help others, to aid strangers and give kindness to those who need it. Do we remember the rich, or the famous? Even the movies stars of our day will pass into obscurity once their time has ended.

So I present to you the meaning of life. Life is to work at making the world a better place for everyone before your time is up. The people who we consider to have the most fulfilling lives are not the rich, but those who have spent their lives to help others. Those are the people we remember. And the meaning of life is simple: To help others.

Don't be a fucking idiot. Ignorance isn't innocence, but sin. Do what you can. Don't just be alive, live instead. If you let life pass you by, if you just sit and do things in routine, what's the point? Even zombies have more goddamn purpose than people who ignore the cries of the world.
