What are ideals? What does it really mean to chase after a dream? People dream of world peace, a world free of hunger, a world free of poverty. I also chase after such an ideal, but perhaps my dream is impossible. Is it really worth chasing after such a dream? Should beliefs and hopes be throw away at the sight of futility? I wonder if that is really worth it, because my dream of a world where everyone is satisfied and happy is not going to exist. How can I change this world to suit that? What can I do... there may not be an answer but throwing away myself because of the nature of the world is so pitiful. What is the point of dreaming if your dreams can never come true? So, I chase after my dream blindly, because throwing away what I believe in would be unbearably painful.
What does it mean to be smart? Is it the genius that everyone talks about, who uses that 1% to create something new? Or perhaps is it that child who can learn faster than everyone else and forgoes everything that a child must learn? Just because someone does something faster does not make them amazing, that doesn't make their efforts worth nothing. I lack so many things because of the gifts that being "smart" have given me. Calling us "gifted" and smarter, when in reality, we just have different needs for learning. Don't put people on unnecessary pedestals, we're human, we're not someone who can do everything better than everyone else just because of the way we are. If we're not a genius, we are in the same boat as you, don't make it seem like we're not. Being smart is not an excuse for not studying, or not putting in an effort. Miserable I am when I consider the amount of times I thought I would get by on my brain alone, and the number of times I've fallen flat. The true genius is one who works the hardest, because hard work is the true requirement for success. Smart people should ashamed to not be at the top, because if they truly believed they were smart, they'd work up to that point.
What does it mean to be alone? To be confined by the laws of the world and the borders of society, to be judged by those around you or to be left behind by people on your road? I question the actions people take to seclude others from themselves and others. Different people are different, there is no other way to describe them, so why must we push people away for not being the same, why can't we accept that people are born to be different? Why can't we accept such a simple fact that our society seems to imply but falls flat on its face when doing so? There is no such thing as equal or fair existence in society, because we refuse to believe that such a thing can exist. When one person judges another, the judged will try to find justice by judging another. In a cycle of revenge for judgement, it creates an endless cycle of hatred and pain, with little peace for any sympathy. Sometimes, our judgements are correct, and people aren't perfect, people have weaknesses. Perfection does not exist, which is why aiming for it is so rewarding. Yet, when people have visible weaknesses, we push them down. When we avoid them, we create borders based off our judgements.
Some judgements are required, and others are not. We need to help others that require it, but we can do so without inciting hatred or placing salt in the wounds of other. Why must we be such a race that hates everything that breathes, feels or sees differently from us? Why can't we be more accepting of change, of a better place where we all as one want to improve, improve ourselves and others? Why can't people see that improvement is positive change, that evolution is a journey of small improvements or failures, because to get where we are now, we have our successes and our failures that we learned from. In reality though, there is only one failure in life. This failure is the failure to adapt to changing circumstances, to fail to learn from our mistakes.
