Humanity???

I have a new song for you today! "One day," by Matisyahu. I don't think I need to analyze this song but I want to explain why I chose this song. I have spent most of my blogs trying to inspire you to do something positive and meaningful with your life, but there is another type of inspiration that I have not touched on yet.

My favorite word is "Hope." There are so many reasons to hope and ways to hope. But in my eyes, all of the the people hoping have something in common. We are all hoping for something better. Whether it is to fall in love, or to get a job, or ace a test, this hope is what holds us together through the toughest of times. Hope is sometimes the only thing we can grasp on to with the last ounce of strenght we have left. We hold on so tightly to this hope becuase we need to believe that things will get better for us. Hope gives us something to live for when we fear there might not be anything left.

I think that this song will give our future as a world some hope, which I think many of you will agree we could use right now. Sometimes I find myself doubting humanity any more. We are surrounded by hate and violence and I wonder will there ever be peace??? Are some people even capable of love and tolerance? This song puts into words my fears for our population and also what I hope and pray will eventually happen! I am sure that a lot of you find yourself hoping for that one moment when we stop the violence and embrace everyone for who they are. When people stop seeing violence as a way to get their point across. When people no longer have evil in their eyes and when people use intellengce and words to find peacful and fair solutions to the most difficult problems. Who knows if it will ever happen but I would rather spend the rest of my life hoping for peace then giving up on humanity!!!
