{Wake Up}

So, it's been about a million years since I've posted anything new, and with good reason: adulting is wild. For those of you who don't know, being a fresh 21 year old out on the town is a whole new kind of crazy and I'm learning to wade through the fun/weird that is currently my life. BUT! I've been seeing something over the last bit that has given me more than a moment of pause...It's caused me to actually attempt to finish a blog post. *gasp!*

I know that the hot word of the century is "equality." Whether that be between men and women, races, gays and the straight, short and tall, fat and thin. Whatever the case my be, people are always clamouring for an equal slice of the pie that we so dearly have come to call, Life. We do have to be careful with that though.

(the above picture was censored for your convenience.)

There's a point when our cries for equality turn into the wails of a selfish child. Or rather, the feeling of entitlement comes out when equality should be forefront. 

Here's the thing guys. We're all trying to live. Trying to survive. Some people get through by only struggling to exist. Why are we making it harder on ourselves?

It seems like now, more than ever, people are taking pleasure in "ruining" the lives of their fellow earth inhabitants. Ridiculing them for *every little thing* and constantly berating others for not holding the exact same political, religious, economical, societal, whatever beliefs that the other does. Like COME ON!

It would seem that people don't understand that their energy directed towards others has an affect on their environment, their world, themselves. Ever heard of the Law of Divine Oneness? We're all connected. The energy that keeps the universe and the world going is the same energy that keeps you and I alive. When you diss that energy-containing organic being that cuts you off in traffic, you're also dissing the energy-containing organic being that is you.

This concept and reality also ties into the Law of Cause and Effect. (Karma.) Not only does karma balance out the wrongs done to you, but she is also quite effective at balancing out the good. (She just loves balance, really.) And, to be quite honest, Karma likes dishing out good, positive things than harsh negative things. (Women are inherently nurturing...it's a hard fact.) So instead of pushing out negativeness, dish out some positivity.

Now. How does this tie around to my point at the beginning about equality and entitlement? It ties together in this way: If you're harping on everyone treating everyone with equality and yet wouldn't treat the cashier lady at Walmart with the same gentility and respect that you would treat your best friend, then you need to back up a few steps. You cannot change the world globally until you create change within yourself. (I'm sure you've heard this one before, right?)

It's about time people started taking responsibility for what they're getting out of life. This isn't a new concept entering the world either. So many people from all over are feeling the strain of our current position in our existence as human beings. 

Law of Capacity stipulates that things, when they reach capacity, either deflate or explode...We're in charge of what happens to the world. We, as human inhabitants of this physical world, have a direct affect on what happens. Do we want our world to explode? (Whether literally or metaphorically...) Let's do everything we can to affect the change we want to see.
