I am full of thoughts...I always have lots on my mind. A friend once asked me what I was thinking about and my response was 'Everything'. I am sure this is not a unique quality, as we are known to have something crazy like sixty thousand thoughts in a day. I spend lots of time thinking about people, the world, poverty, inhumanities, loss, pain, and hatred. I think about these things not because I am morbid and depressing, but because I would like to change them. I would like to make a difference in my environment, and if I can the world. I wish I could witness the destruction of all bad including nuclear bombs. Its like saying I wish I could win the lottery and never buy a ticket. One day I was sitting around with a bunch of people when an individual asked what everyone in the room would do if they had all the money in the world. Everyone described the neat exciting stuff they would do and I said I would contribute my life to helping fix the world. I have to say, I tip my hat off to all the people who have tried and continue to try to make a difference. People do not realize that it’s not just the large stuff that makes a difference; it is the little stuff too. Sometimes we do not realize the littlest of actions can have a huge impact on someone’s life and mean nothing to the person giving. I always try and remember that and live by it. I know I do not have the power to move the earth, but I do have the power to be aware and act on that awareness. My relationship with the world is a love/hate relationship. I think the world can be very cruel and unjust, but on the other hand I love learning about the world and I think life has so many great things to offer.
