Give your life

Sixteen years gone.... "I want to love, I want to learn to love everything, but the world's too big the world's too big I know" Or is it? If a spark can start a forest fire, I believe I can change the world. Since birth I've been taught that my life, is what I make of myself. That for the good I do I will be rewarded. Keep them. Who invented rewards. If you sacrifice something but get a reward, how are you better than where you started? This world says that what I should dream for is to go to school, have fun, get married, make money, live fully, and retire to a nice home. Wait..... Live fully? How can we do that when we don't know what is going on with this world that we are living in. How can we be free to live, free from our conscience and free from sadness when we are aware that people are dying because of another's greed. My life is a period of time, a beginning and an end. That time is all I have...... and I'm going to try to look out for myself? It dies with me. Forever gone from anyone else. I will live for others. I will live so that others will experience a profound sense of Joy. Why is it that celebrities are never satisfied? Why American's always want more THINGS. Because the sould longs for a satisfaction that a simple material will never bring. It's the satisfaction of knowing it is well with our souls. "It" is everything that has caused us trouble between our birth til the day we die. We can't control anything but ourselves, and even then it's not perfect. But with what power we do have carry the burden of the world, because right now it's resting on the shoulders of those who don't have enough to eat. American's have 1/10 of the world's population yet 2/3 of the worlds wealth, yet we brag that we are the most "generous" country. Money is not generous. Wealth is a curse and life is a blessing. Give the gift of life. To Darfur, to the homeless, to you're friends, to you're neighbors, and to your enemies......Give Your Life
