Change is Imperative......

The pessimal people in what seems to be such a pessimist world as of late have taken toll on my igniting annoyance and i find myself toiling deeper within my 'stranger watching'. It bothers me to witness a man walk past a woman carrying more bags then her fragile arms should have been entrusted. To hear a poor man beg for money and the passerby whisper to his walking neighbor " He'll only spend it on drugs."
Supporters on the streets bringing hope to children by forcing the unwilling to subscribe only 10$ a month. Are our pocket books so drafty in which we cannot afford such a price for an astonishingly inspiring cause? Must we run from the opportunity to be a living Hero for one child bringing what fills like forced petitioners along every street corner asking, begging, wanting our mutual support.
I watch as another watches that man who dropped his briefcase- I bend to help and see through my eyes the passing of feet not worried about the man and I chasing flying documents and straightening wrinkled and stomped marked white paper, but too stuck in the speed of life and the hassle of there own day by day stress to relinquish someone of their own.
Hell bent on bringing us to repentance we hear witnesses of great faith surrender their stage fright among what may seem to be their well dressed lowly superiors, along the streets as they beg us to come unto Christ, trying desperately to lead us to our bibles and Sunday services. Do we chastise them for there method of preaching, do we scorn them for there microphones and crowd disrupting speakers, are they judged before the multitudes for being of another religion, or do we take a moment to remember our similarities and bless them for their God willing service to mankind no matter how they choose to spread the good word.
Why do rallies for saving planet earth bring an uproar of upsetting contradictory. The world we have occupied for so long is being depleted of its beauty and goodness right before our eyes, why not be brought into submission and join the cause to bring life back into somthing we have taken life from. ? Is there truly sense in fighting against good cause?
Extremists are just that. Eccentric in the extreme. There ideas are puzzling to us, we moderate there life styles , barely tolerate there social behavior and we mock them behind there backs.
But why not take a interest in someone elses interests? Extreme or not- do we not share certain qualties that make us human. Do we not all have hobbies, thoughts, occupations, secrets, familes... in those we can find similarity and share friendship we may have not seen possible. A conversation on ones behalf for the sole pupose of understanding will do wonders for the growth of civility. I promise you. Holding someones hand through a trial of severe or shallow consequence, shaking a hand of nobility or 3rd class standing, smiling across the vast hall only to catch an eye of a sorrowful stranger. Can you not see the impact one soul has on another? Do we no longer understand our role as neighbors? Have we forgotten what it means to be a friend.

Amongst the appalling, there is good. I could write a second blog of the majority of greatness i have witnessed throughout the bitter. Though- Sometimes we need to ponder what we should change.
