Entry One~
This isn't anything important or life altering stuff, just what I'm thinking at the moment. So here it goes......
Anybody ever notice how when you step outside one day the world has seemed to change from the way it was yesterday? What my bad attempt at a metaphor means, is that you go to sleep one day with the world just the way you like it and then the next day it is completely different, everything you know and believe in is gone and replaced by something new and different. The world used to be a place of bigotry, misunderstandings, and warfare. Honestly it has not changed much, but just people for the most part have a more open mind and a bigger understanding of other cultures. People have begun to embrace each other, well more than they have in the past, and things are finally starting to look up. The world will never be perfect, nor will it ever be free from violence because that has been all we know and people aren't perfect. I know you might be thinking "Oh great it's another one of those people." and you know what your probably right. I just thought I'd get out my thoughts at the moment. I'm going to end this with two quotes:
"It ought to be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things." -Niccolo Machiavelli
"This coolness arises partly from fear of the opponents, who have the laws on their side, and partly from the incredulity of men, who do not readily believe in new things until they have had a long experience of them." -Niccolo Machiavelli
I might write more later, I might not. But for now, that's all.
Later
