THE THINGS I CRAVE.
Art : THOUGHTS.
By Sakuan.
I don’t think a name would work right now, I don’t want to give you my name, I just want to share my story with you. A story about the things I crave, foods not included, and I don’t like getting personal but today feels like a good day to share what has been going on in my life. I want to share my feelings through my words, they say words cut deeper than swords, I don’t know if that is the saying but that sounds good enough to me. Here goes something…
I crave to be a somebody someday. Today feels like a perfect day to have such ambitious thoughts, we all know Rome wasn’t built in a day, a dream has to start somewhere and mine happens to be today. As high-spirited as I might be right now I always have to remind myself to be careful with what I wish for because I don’t know what I will do if my wish ever comes true. I know people swear they would act a certain way in situations they see other people in without realizing how difficult it is to be a perfect human being. You never know the devil living inside you until you give it a reason to reveal itself and just like most people you will be shocked at what you are capable of, both good and bad, people before you swore they were good and turned out to be bad and vice versa, you are no different, at the end of the day, you need food and water to survive, and when push comes to shove what you will do to get them, only God knows and that is if He even exists. No matter what I do and whatever it is that I do I always try my best to be a good person, I hope those around me see that I am trying my hardest to be a somebody, a decent person at least.
I crave peace. There have been times when I have made choices that I didn’t like, choices that changed my life forever. I don’t hold grudges, I have tried my best to keep this up and so far so good. I don’t look at people for all the things they do, I simply don’t engage myself in caring about things that don’t concern me or things that I can’t control, I see that as a waste of time and feelings. I know some might think that is a healthy way to live and they might be right but there is a caveat to this. I believe sometimes you need to stand up for something even if they don’t concern you, especially when they don’t concern you. For you to get to peace you have to speak up for all sorts of things, some might affect you directly and some might now concern you whatsoever, but if it is peace you crave these are some of the things you have to adhere to.
I don’t claim to know a lot but I wasn’t born last night. I love it when people stand up for themselves, I love it when people say no and stand their ground when it comes to things they believe in.
Right and wrong, who defines what that is? I am guessing it is your respective society that gets to put a definition on what right and wrong are. About two hundred years ago slavery was okay and most societies back then were okay with it, even today in the freest country in the world different states have different laws on the same issues of what is right and what is wrong, from consuming weed to abortion.
These thoughts keep me up at night, and I still wonder from time to time, what is right and what is wrong. Who gets to define what right is and what wrong is? And why are they right for telling me what is wrong when I can move to another society that tells me what is was told was wrong is right? That is an answer I crave.
