I am deeply angry that no one has noticed me and what I have to offer to the world. I am deeply angry that no one cared enough about me as an individual to ever ask me if I wanted to do what they forced me to do. I am deeply angry that no one wanted to listen to what I had to say.
I feel like the people around me have abandoned me and left me to fend for myself. I wonder why people thought so poorly of me that they didn't think that what I thought mattered enough to ask and mattered enough to listen.
I see now that many people feel this way, and I wonder why we continue ignoring each other. Everyone seems so scared of each other, and I wonder why we continue being so cruel to each other. I see many talented people who are ignored, and I wonder why we care so little of the value they have to offer to the world that they remain unsupported and their talent is wasted.
I am deeply angry at those who demand obedience and conformity. I am deeply angry at those who demand that I sacrifice my own happiness to accomplish their goals.
I am deeply angry because I was raised by an angry society. I was raised by a society that consistently chooses violence when they could choose peace. I was raised by a society which consistently chooses to maintain conflicts between individuals when they could choose to resolve all conflicts.
I am deeply angry because people continue traditions of dominance and violence. I am deeply angry at those who use fear and guilt to control others. I am deeply angry at those who hurt others.
I am deeply angry at those who have allowed the violence and abuse to continue for thousands of years because they were too afraid to oppose it. I am deeply angry at those who are obedient and subservient and who do not oppose those who cause suffering.
I am deeply angry at myself for allowing others to hurt me. I am deeply angry at myself for being afraid of others. I am deeply angry at myself for consistently sacrificing my own happiness because of my fear that others will hurt me for being different.
I am deeply angry at those who have no respect for others, and I am deeply angry at those who have no respect for themselves.
I am deeply angry at all that I think is wrong in the world, and I want things to be different, to be better.
I want to live in a world where every individual is respected. I want to live among people who value each other and pay attention to each other. I want to live among people who enjoy living together. I want to live among people who are intelligent and creative and who share their value with each other.
I want to live among people who are not afraid of each other. I want to live among people who don't use guilt and fear to control each other. I want to live among people who allow each other to choose their own way of living. I want to live among people who choose to live peacefully with each other. I want to live among people who choose to help each other.
I want to live among people who value each other and who seek to be of greater value to each other. I want to live among people who explore their own and each other's potential. I want to live among people who share their knowledge and skills with each other. I want to live among people who enjoy living and who share their enjoyment with others. I want to live among people who teach each other how to be happy.
I want to live in a world where I am valued as an individual, where people care what I think and what I want. I want to live in a world where I am valued as an individual, where I am allowed to be different and explore my own ways of doing things. I want to live in a world where everyone is valued and cared for.
Because such a world is the result of our choices, people can make the choice to live in that sort of world. To choose such a world, we must simply choose to have respect for others and have an interest in other's lives.
We can help people develop their talents and skills so they become more valuable to themselves and others. We can help people learn to solve problems well and to make good decisions for themselves. People can be taught valuable thinking skills and learn to use their minds to improve their own lives.
People can be supported financially and educationally until they can support themselves and then be capable of helping others. People can be recognized as the valuable assets that they are, and people can be taught how to increase their value, to themselves and to others.
We can choose to live in the world we want. By being kind, we choose to live in a world where people are kind. By caring for others, we choose to live in a world where people are cared for. By valuing others, we choose to live in a world where people are valued. By respecting others, we choose to live in a world where people have respect for each other.
By not hurting others, we choose to live in a world where people are not hurt by others. By allowing others to develop their own ways of living, we choose to live in a world where people are not forced against their will.
By teaching each other, we choose to live in a world where people have knowledge and skills. By helping each other develop our talents, we choose to live in a world of talented people. By helping each other prosper, we choose to live in a world of prosperity.
Because we can learn from each other, we can learn to choose a world we would all rather live in.
