Be the change you wish to see

I want people to know it's okay to be different from everyone else. In school we learn about the bad things people before our generation did. I love how they taught us the actions people made and the outcome of monstrous acts. Only because I hoped that it would spread awareness that it is not okay to discriminate or torture someone because they are a little different from you, or better looking. The sad truth is that it is not the truth and that pains me, how can one person be so mean to another? To this day we make the same mistakes many generations have made. We learn them and then they send us away hoping we won't repeat those mistakes. Everyone has something to bring to family gathering so you deserve to be appreciated by other people for something no one else would take a leap to do. You want something to be changed, start by making a difference yourself. What if you could take the crime rate down a bit, and make death rates decrease? What if you could improve the health of everybody around you? If any of that sounds like something you could do, then what are you waiting for? This generation is so full of hatred we can't even stand in a line at McDonalds without fighting with the person in front or behind us. We need to work together and show that we can all do better. All it takes is one person to stand up and make a difference and it will spread like a wildfire from one person to another. I leave you with a question, do you want to be the one who makes a difference?
