What Is Your Philosophy Of Life?

Side note- I want to apologize for taking so long to write this piece. This is a great question, which I have many things to say about. I wanted to make sure that every word had a significance not only to me but you guys. I hope you enjoy it.

This is a great question! For me, life is about making an impact in the world, in humanity. For me, life is about making people happy, and proud of who you are.

When I am older I want to be an Entrepreneur, not only for the title but for all the difference I want to make in the world. Not everyone is as fortunate as we are, and the majority of us are oblivious or nonchalant to this fact. The majority of us are so ungrateful, that it makes me mad knowing that some of you guys get frustrated because your parents didn’t get you the new pair of Jordans that came out. Like? There are people that are literally killing each other for a piece of bread. There are people that sleep on the floor. There are people that have to walk kilometers for a cup of water. There are people that are dying every day due to the lack of medicine and resources. There are people dying every day from starvation or dehydration. But yet you are mad for not getting a pair of shoes. Did you know that there are thousands of people that walk barefoot every day?

The world would be a better place if there will be no violence. If people would not drink and drive. If people would not drive and record. If people would not show off their richness. If people would not discriminate against others. If people would not steal. If people would not judge. If people would put down their phones when a fight is about to break out. All of those things would make living on Earth perfect. The problem is there is no such thing as perfect. But we could try and make it to the closest thing to perfect. By sharing. By caring. By loving. By helping. By donating. By overcoming. By flourishing. By living. By suggesting. By responding. By bettering yourself.

All I am saying is that in order for us to see the best versions of ourselves we need to change. We need to leave behind all the gossip. All the hate. People need to be there for one another. I am not suggesting you to give all your money to the homeless in the street. All I am saying is for you to double think your actions. I will give you the perfect example. I was walking to my summer job, and I had passed by a homeless man. I was really hungry that morning, so I decided to buy myself an iced caramel coffee with a creme danish. While I was waiting for my food I had this feeling, that went through me, and I knew that the homeless man a block away from me was starving. When I got my food, I decided to order one donut with a hot chocolate. I paid for it and walked back to the homeless man. I knew that one donut and a hot chocolate was not going to change his life, but I knew that it was something. When I had given it to him he gave me the warmest smile I had ever seen. I knew that I had impacted his day one way or another. That whole morning I had felt amazing. I am not telling you to go crazy and buy homeless people food. I did it because I felt like doing that from the goodness of my heart. I love to see people smile, I love to change their lives for the better. This action of my has only shown me how powerful we can be if we think rationally. There are more stories I have regarding me sharing my wealth with others if you want a little inspiration just ask me.

I like to work hard to achieve all of my goals. I love to help those because, through my eyes, we should all thrive without leaving no one behind. Competition is that, competition. However, not everyone makes it to the end because they either lack or face an obstacle so big that they were not able to overcome. But as human beings, we should be there to support one another, to lift up one another. We should not let hate be the barrier between two souls. We should not let it come to a point where we feel superior to others, or think that we are better than them.

Abortion? I am not the best fan when it comes to abortion. When someone decides to take a humans life, especially a baby, I have no remorse for them. I do not care if they are broke, I do not care if it was a mistake, I do not care if the condom broke. To kill a defenseless child, a baby is the worst thing any human can do to another human being. You might be a human being is someone who is supposed to be alive, and the fetus is not alive yet. BUT STILL. I believe that once you are having the intercourse, you need to be ready for anything. I know that this is just my opinion, and you might be thinking what does she know??? Well, what I do know is that abortion is never the answer. If you are not ready fine, have the baby and give him up for adoption, but ending its life because you are not ready is childish and inhumane. Now I am not judging you, all I am saying is that abortion is wrong!

Respect? Everyone deserves to be respected. Not only is the saying, “Respect to be respected” true, but it is the definition of respect in my opinion. I know that you cannot define a word with the word in its meaning but still. If you want respect you need to earn it. To all the girls that let guys judge you, stick up for yourself. You do not need anybody to bring you down, like who do they think they are? To all the girls that only care about making themselves feel good by bringing other girls down because they are not skinny, or blonde, or thick, or smart, look yourself hard in the mirror and ask yourself, “Am I perfect?” I am pretty sure the answer is no, because nothing is perfect, but if you believe that those actions make you perfect be my guest. Just because a girl is not giving you the attention you want or “need” does not mean she is being a hoe or a slut. Have you ever tried to consider the simple fact that she is just not interested in you? Respect comes to all of those that not only portray it themselves but to those that actually take the word seriously. But in order for girls to get respected, they need to respect themselves first. How do you demand respect when you are taking pictures, half-naked, or half of your breasts showing.

Life is about being happy. Not everyone is made for a relationship. Many people like to be single because like that they can do whatever they want, without technically hurting someone. I say that being in a healthy relationship is one of the best things that can happen to two individuals. Many people say that love is a weakness. But in my opinion being in love is one of the most beautiful things in the world, because you get to do so many things with the love of your life. I myself am in a beautiful relationship with the love of my life. Not only is it a great relationship but it is a healthy relationship. One of the most important things in a relationship besides trust is that it needs to be a healthy relationship. Toxic relationships get nowhere. No one deserves to feel threatened or scared of being in a relationship. I understand that the “love” might be super strong and that you cannot get over him or her just like that, but there are people willing to help. Trust me that person, the one that is doing the damage, is not the only fish in the ocean. There are bigger, nicer, cutter, fishes out there, just trust me. No one should be in a relationship just to be in a relationship. Relationships shouldn’t be rushed. Wait for the right person. One of the things that really bother me are girls that talk to guys that are in a relationship, like girl he taken!

There is so much more that I want to talk about, but nothing else comes to my head :( I hope that my words can enlighten some of you guys, to make better decisions. That is all I ask for.

Thank you for giving me the time of your day to read this piece. If you have any questions regarding life or food do not hesitate to ask me. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Remember I am not the best writer. If you do happen to find a grammar mistake on this piece, please email me.
