  1. The World Is Coming To An End! ?





    Bored...bored...bored...

    With boredom, comes great responsibility! And with this boredom I was scrolling through Facebook.

    First video I saw, was a Don't Judge Challenge. Did not get it at all :lol:

    The second video is what I want to share with you. However, I cannot post the link to the video so I'll share the lyrics with you, as it's inspiring. If you do get a chance I suggest you go watch it in between a regen. It's more of a rap.


    This is by Prince Ea ~ Why I Think This World Should End



    The world is coming to an end
    The air is polluted, the oceans contaminated
    The animals are going extinct, the economy’s collapsed
    Education is shot, police are corrupt
    Intelligence is shunned and ignorance rewarded
    The people are depressed and angry
    We can't live with each other and we can't live with ourselves
    So everyone’s medicated

    We pass each other on the streets
    And if we do speak it's meaningless robotic communication

    More people want 15 seconds of fame
    Than a lifetime of meaning and purpose
    Because what’s popular is more important than what’s right

    Ratings are more important than the truth
    Our government builds twice as many prisons than schools
    It’s easier to find a Big Mac than an apple
    And when you find the apple
    It's been genetically processed and modified

    Presidents lie, politicians trick us
    Race is still an issue and so is religion

    "Your God doesn’t exist, my God does and he is All-Loving". If you disagree with me I'll kill you"

    Or even worse argue you to death
    92% of songs on the radio are about

    Kids don’t play tag, they play twerk videos
    The average person watches 5 hours of television a day
    And it's more violence on the screen than ever before
    Technology has given us everything we could ever want
    And at the same time stolen everything we really need

    Pride is at an all time high, humility, an all time low
    Everybody knows everything, everybody’s going somewhere
    Ignoring someone, blaming somebody

    Not many human beings left anymore, a lot of human doings
    Plenty of human lingerings in the past, not many human beings

    Money is still the root of all evil
    Yet we tell our kids don’t get that degree
    The jobs don’t pay enough
    Good deeds are only done when there's a profit margin

    Videos of the misfortunes of others go viral
    We laugh and share them with our friends to laugh with us
    Our role models today
    60 years ago would have been examples of what not to be
    There are states where people can legally be discriminated against Because they were born a certain way

    Companies invest millions of dollars hiring specialists to make Little girls feel like they need “make up” to be beautiful permanently lowering their self esteem because they will never be pretty enough.

    To meet those impossible standards
    Corporations tell us:

    "Buy, Buy, Buy, Get This, Get That. You must keep up, you must fit in. "

    This will make you happy, but it never does for long

    So what can we do in the face of all of this madness and chaos?
    What is the solution? We can love
    Not the love you hear in your favorite song on the radio
    I mean real love, true love, boundless love
    You can love, love each other
    From the moment we wake up to the moment we go to bed
    Perform an act of kindness because that is contagious
    We can be mindful during every interaction
    Planting seeds of goodness
    Showing a little more compassion than usual
    We can forgive
    Because 300 years from now will that grudge you hold against your friend, your mother, your father have been worth it?

    Instead of trying to change others we can change ourselves
    We can change our hearts
    We have been sold lies
    Brainwashed by our leaders and those we trust
    To not recognize our brothers and sisters
    And to exhibit anger, hatred and cruelty
    But once we truly love we will meet anger with sympathy
    Hatred with compassion, cruelty with kindness
    Love is the most powerful weapon on the face of the Earth
    Robert Kennedy once said that

    "Few will have the greatness to bend history
    But each of us can work to change a small portion of events
    And in the total of all those act
    Will be written in the history of a generation"


    So yes, the world is coming to an end
    And the path towards a new beginning starts within you.

    And it is very true.
     
  3. I just read it, not watched it, but some of the things are sadly quite true .
     
  4. Not all police are corrupt ? sorry only read the first bit.
     
  5. I need to check out the video :)
    The lyrics are so true 
    Awesome for sharing Jiggy

  7. This is sadly true :eek:
     
  8. Good stuff.

  10. "I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law."
    -Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr
     
  11. Define a tv. I must not be the average person cause I don't even watch it. :lol:
     
  12. Nice read.

    "But the world is ending" is such a egocentric human thing to say if you really think about it.

    Because the world won't really, it was here before us and will definitely be here after we're gone.

    Once again nice read. Not judging you, just my 2 cents.
