The world

Now there are two ways to look at it: The world as it is and the world as we would like it to be. Our problem is that we don’t look two ways. We either see the world as it is and are hopeless about it, or we see the world as we would like it to be and pursue unrealistic dreams.

But at the end of the day we all want the world as we would like it to be, right?
In order to make this world the way it should be, we need to be content with the world as it is. We need to learn to accept that things happen for a reason and instead of focusing on why it happened and what happened we need to focus on how it shouldn’t happen again, or how we could get out of the situation we are in.

Some people get angry at my opinions—Very angry. They claim I don’t know what I am talking about. Or I am too young to understand the world properly. People constantly try to correct me. Mostly not because they care, but because they don’t agree… because it bothers them to realize the truth—because they do not want to see the world as it is.

I’d tell you… it is hard to see the world as it is. I wish I could erase so many things from my life. So many people, so many decisions I have made. I wish I could undo all the times that I have been sick, and all the times I have cried hysterically. I wish the world was a happier place.

But tell you what; I can’t attain the happiness unless I am content with what I have—with how the world is. I cannot “wish” until I “accept”.

I know all this sounds really good in theory. It’s easier said than done. But at the end of the day, it is the only way to go. The sooner we understand it, the happier we will be.

Remember: It could always get worse
