we are all EQUAL.

Every person is equal unless you're God. You have no right to say you are better. It just proves that you are worse. I think we should all take a minute to take in what is going on around us. We are only individuals to a world that is over 6 billion people deep. Before we criticize and judge, ask yourself, "What position am I to say? Who Am I to judge. Who decides if I'm better than them?" These questions are questions we often skip when it comes to other people besides ourselves. You aren't better then them. And you are in
no position to say anything bad about them.

This world is a selfish one. And for good reason. Competition. Yes, it's mother nature for everyone and everything living to be in competition with others of the same species. From the tigers, monkeys, lions, giraffes, apes, bacteria, flowers, etc. history shows that it's all about competition. Within the human race alone, it's always about being the best player in sports, the smartest in our classes, and the coolest on the block. We always want the hottest girl, or the richest guy, the fastest car, the nicest clothes. And there's nothing wrong with that because if that is what satisfies us, then we should go with what our heart wants. But what is overlooked is that there are differences among these things. Some are materialistic things that we can achieve over the period of our lives. The other is a skill. an ability that we must work on to get to where we want to be. In the end, the human value is the only thing that should matter to us.

I used to thing having the fastest car, coolest friends, and matching outfits was what life is all about. And in times, I was often caught up living in a high school-type lifestyle. But then I realized that these materialistic things are things that anyone can have. And since anyone and everyone can have it, it makes it a matter of competition within individuals. I'm not going to speak for the population, but we all went through high school. And with saying that, I'm pretty sure a majority has thought of the same ideas. Once we hit that age of maturity, we realize that it's not about those things. Instead, it's
about where we are in life, the well paid job, or the well educated schools we attend. But for one minute or two, I wanna take the time and say one thing that is irrelevant to all of it. It's about our human value, our individuality, and our competence. Who are you?

Life isn't about the materialistic things, it's about us as individuals. It's about what we stand for, what we believe in, what we are all about. I think one of the life long goals that will never has a definite answer. And no, I'm not talking about love. I'm talking about our mentality, our shape. It's like taking business 101 and financial accounting together in one course. We learn that it is all related, and that it is all relevant to know. Where we grew up is what shapes our habits and manner, while high school and materialistic things shape our behavior. Individualism, becoming a better person is the goal that we will always have, yet never complete. No matter what happens within your life, you always have the ability to become a better person. Sure competition within humans and every other organism is normal. But does that really separate you from the rest? If you were randomly selected within a survey, what individual characteristics can you say that you have, which will make you a more likable pick than the person standing next to you. Our mindsets are set from such a young age that we forget what life is really about. Life
is about finding those things that you love to do, that makes you happy, and sharing it with others. That is in my opinion what life is about.
Competition is always gonna be there, and that's a great way to drive us towards our goals. But in the end, competition is only a drive. We forget the concept that everybody is equal. Every person is equal unless you're God. You have no right to say you are better. It just shows that you are worse. We are all equal. Sure there are prettier people than us, but so what? Everyone in their own little way, is beautiful and attractive. We might not have the same attraction to the person as others, nor will we have the same exact characteristics as them either. Another person might have an extraordinary skill, making them have a different talent than us. But that does not give them the right to think that they're better than anyone else. It's cool that they're gifted and talented, but in the end, they're still an individual. Take the smartest kid in the group for example. They might be smarter than us, but that doesn't mean they're better. Everyone is equal, so why treat someone differently like they're nobody. We can honestly say that we don't know someone completely like they do, so who are we to judge. Who are we to say that they're below us? We eat, they eat. We work, they work. We study, they study. We have a family, they have a family. Take the competition mindset out of you're mind for one second and look at them for them. Don't judge them by what they wear, or their habits. We ,who do not walk in their shoes, live their life or know them personally, shall not judge. All in all, this short reading is something I hope we all understand. While there's those with a close mindset who don't wanna change, it's totally up to you. If you already knew this, than I admire you. If you need some help, I'm always willing to help. Just know this what I believe in, and if there's a problem with it, carry on. Never get worked up on the competition. There will always be opportunity and spotlight for you to capture. When it comes to those materialistic things, don't get overworked about them. Remember, if we were stripped of all our belongings and stood in a line with the rest of the world, what characteristics differ you from the people in front of you. What individual characteristics do you have? Not physical, or skill. But mentally speaking, how do you affect this world.? Beauty is only skin deep. Every person is equal. Learn, listen, and Live before you judge.


And don't forget. Dwyane Wade is playing tonight. 8 P.M for me, 5 P.M for the hometown.
