looking out the window...i see...

There are so many things going on in people's lives, and how often we as the same species took notice of them? Many of us believed ourselves to be some one good, some one innocent, some one that has not brought any harm to the society, but if we are asked to recall the number of times we hurt somebody, whether physically, mentally, or emotionally, it is quite impossible to keep count even if we have more than ten fingers attached to our palms.

For all we know, the very words we say to a person may be the very factor that brought him or her into the life he or she is living. A boy you once know, committed suicide out of a sudden due to the feeling of rejection from society, your words once may have contributed to the foolish act. What kind of world are we living in right now? A world of despair, where every being is judged in accordance to his or her mistakes. Every short comings are magnified and decent points are put off, ignored, as if they are of no value than just common trash. The pressure pressed on by society has caused people to shift their focus onto a limited range of qualities to be considered as someone worth living on the face of the earth.

It is indeed very sad to see humans born of great potential, thrown and cast aside, deemed to be worthless, just for the very fact that they happen to not excel in something that the world entitled it to be 'useful and good'. What kind of world are we living in? How do we as individuals look at other people? Do we judge them by their looks? Popularity? We may greet everyone outwardly with a smile, but what actually is going on in our hearts when we walk pass that very person? How honest can we be with our feelings?

Everyone is born of breath and heart beat. Everyone is born of blood and feelings. The very day we were born, we acquired something called life. We go around living like normal people, trying to strive and be someone of credibility in society, little do we know that the world does not just consist of individuals but a whole big group of people. Our selfishness blinded us from so many people that are scientifically alive but spiritually dead, but we see none of those, because all this while we were looking but into the mirror every single day.

Do not just make a living, but make also a life. A word of encouragement, a genuine smile, or even a sincere helping hand, could make so much of a difference in someone's life. Because, through those actions, we bring a life out of a life itself.
