The World.

The world. What is it? What do we thrive on? What do we live for? Is it love? Money? Hope? Crime? Kindness? Want? The need to help others?  Or the want to please the world?

 The world is the people, the land, the thoughts, the workers, the helpers, the criminals, the heroes, the shapers, the destroyers, the ones who care, and the ones who don't. The world is what we want it to be... And how we want to be remembered. We want the world to have worth. We want to thrive.

What do we thrive on? The world thrives on money. Money is not bad, but the obsession with it that is the problem. The thought that to survive you must have money. The thought that without it you are nothing. The fact that the thought that runs through our head is that to do anything in this world, you must have money.  We see that the world  is run by the great thinkers, who think for profit. We see that the world is what the workers make it, but they work for money. We see that if you want something done it helps to have money. If you want to do something, it usually costs money. Nothing is really free anymore. Everything you ever want to do will cost you in some sort of way.The world is big on the idea of money. The world is big on the idea of profit. 

Everyone wants to profit from this world. But what if the world could profit from us?  This simple yet complicated idea has been ticking in my mind for quite awhile now. We always want to grow, profit, gain and conquer, we want to become something better. What if instead of changing the world, we worked on changing us? What if we made ourselves an example of what we want the world to be like? What if we were the people we wished there were? What if we were the change we wanted to see in the world? (A quote from Mahatma Gandhi) I think if e took this seriously we would see a change and the wold would follow.

An unfinished thought. I will think about this more and make another post soon Im sure. Stay tooned. And please leave me your thoughts on the subject.
