charlotte sometimes...
no one's angry anymore. i don't know...is that a good thing? i can't tell. i want to believe that ending anger is good. that being mad is wrong. that peace and love and happiness and joy are the truths we should be striving for. but how can one strive, when they are not angry? without anger, how can anyone want change. and without wanting change, how can anyone ever obtain it? the world is meant to be moving forward, and without anger, where is that stimulus? if one is content, how can they be seeking change?
and, i suppose, the answer would be if you're content, you don't need change. but i don't believe that. how could i possibly believe that? when one is content, they are happy with their life situation...but that doesn't make the world situation any better. i could be content because i am not starving, but many others are. i could be content because i am loved, but many others are not. i could be content because i'm receiving some sort of education, but more than me aren't. i could be content because i have a voice, because i have an outlet, because i have a family, because i have a home, because i have courage, because i am strong, because i have rights, because i have autonomy, because... i could be content. i could be content... but that's just me. the rest of the world would still be violent and miserable for many others. how can i sit still because i am content?
being content means ignoring the bigger things. being content means living in a vacuum. being content means not caring. so, i guess being content means being apathetic. and apathy sucks. apathy makes you think that you are the most important, so you can be indifferent. it means, you don't realize the effects that you can have on yourself, on others, on the world. how silly! how silly and how horrible...
this isn't done yet...but i've run out of time...
