Tomorrow.

Selflessness is rare.

Our world is tarnished, blackened by greed and envy. Driven to delirium on the quest to conquer. Minds corrupted, poisoned, killed off slowly as power-hungry maniacs feed off the earth, draining the resources like leeches.

We were reckless.
We made mistakes.

So many mistakes.

And as we grew, as we destroyed, as every single second passed, the future seemed to vanish a fraction more.
Everything we did, affects us now.

Everything we do, affects our children.
Our grandchildren. Our family. Our friends.

Our future.

We take want we want, not what we need. Selflessness is just an underlying whisper in the breeze, a quiver in the leaves of the trees, a softness in the earth's song.

We made mistakes, but we can learn from them. We can change to make things better, save the world, save lives.

Life is the thread that weaves the fabric of our existence together, connecting everyone, everything, in a mesh of beauty, light and colour.
But it's being torn.
If we just stopped and looked, watched it happening, maybe we would see.

These simple things, love, kindness, courage, selflessness, they have become a rarity.

This needs to change.

Look back at what you have done yesterday, change it for the better today, and watch tomorrow sparkle.

Be loving.
Be courageous.
Be selfless.
Be amazing.
Be unique.

Be yourself.

Because tomorrow is closer than you think.

Environment

Reduce, re-use, recycle, We hear it all the time, Though has anybody ever thought to give it piece of mind.

Big Is

Big is as big does,. Big lives in love and trust. Big is little Them, big Us. Big is not 'just' it's 'must'. Big is not big guns. Big is not big guns. Big is not big knives and big guns.

Judgements

More and more people are getting hurt because of other people. People judge too harshly when they should realise they only know a persons appearance and name not the story behind either one of them.

@katnisseverdeen4 Thankyou!

You are not a Vicar are you ?

@beergrylles um... No.

Great advice, and written eloquently, but you also write as if these problems are things that have developed recently, and not something that has plagued humans since the beginning of our existence. Not meaning to be argumentative, just trying to make an observation :p

@rainbowmelk Thankyou, and yes, I agree with you, looking back at it now, it does sound a lot like that. A bit of a random-rant post, and I didn't really read back through it to check if it made any sense before I posted it! :)
