Pause for thought. Pause for human kind. Pause for our planet or to do a prank for a laugh!

Understanding

Ok, so I have been to nursery, primary school followed by secondary school, sixth form and then university. I have pretty much been through the academia strata which I have enjoyed as I love studying, it is pleasure I take to really well, as I believe in the power of knowledge.

Now I am in the industry of my field (the arts) and I am a working individual, I am trying to understand everything and anything. This may not make much sense at the moment, but I am writing this and thinking about this in an abstract way. The working lifestyle, working politics, the media, everything! At the moment I feel there is a strange feeling in the world today and I cant quite put my finger on it. Morals and ethics seem to be not incarnated in people’s way of living, which will result in the decadence to the world just as the fall of the Roman Empire!

Ok a bit over the top hear you cry, but really, there is a point as to what I am talking about! The wars around the world, climate change, deceit with partners and friends, a rise in the seven deadly sins, lust, gluttony, vanity, sloth, envy, pride and anger it seems to be rising to boiling point within my generation, even when I was smaller there seemed to be more love in the world! Whether its because I was younger and unimpressionable who knows, but if you read the revelations the enigma seems to be revealed! - This could honestly just be my thoughts at the moment due to the place I currently am at (a transition period in my life) but all I say is observe and watch, don’t be blind but use the light wherever you are! :-)

PEOPLE


I feel i need to get some things of my chest. Why do so many people lack respect for others? There has been many times i walk out of my house to go to the local shop or to go to work and by the time i get back, i am already pissed off! People barge, step on your toe, give you funny looks, etc there is no common/mutual respect between one another anymore!! its crazy!!! Wheres the: "Good Morning" or "Hows it goin".....its gone! You say hello and people look at you like your some sort of freak!

Of course you can't let it get you down, it will be a waste of time, you have got better thing to think about, but honestly, how are you suppose to relax and chill with the negativity that surrounds you day in day out!!

People, people, people!! Please take a step back and realise your body language and your manner between one another!

And we say the Western world is civilised! I beg to differ!!!
