Let’s Make A Difference

Given one chance to change the world with a speech is offered to me.

I would stand in front of the mic and say: People, of all creed, colors, nations, creations. You are loved.

Differences we do share, but not in a negative way. Differences was put upon us for variation of events.

Your difference can change the way cancer is cured. Your difference can change the way people come as one. Your difference can change the outcome of a bad situation. Your difference can change lives. In the past you were frown upon because you were different, be it color, sexuality, national, creed and so on. You were made by someone that saw you as perfect. That means whether people see you as perfect or not, you

were made to be perfect. Perfect because he knew making you, a job will be done correctly. If we all did the job we were put here to do, the world would be perfect too. But there are "Negatierians." My word now for negative changers. They only want negative things to happen. They are not happy unless we as positive people are sad. Which draws a opposites attract sydrome. Like a negative and positive magnet, they will connect and cause confusion. If we as people only try to connect to positive people and shun out the negative people, we will change the world with just that. Recently, a peaceful protest turned into a distroyed city and alot of robberies. Positive people wanted to be heard, they had something to say, and negative people wanted it to be seen not heard. Once they are arrested, the excuse is that they were abused in their childhood somehow. My theory is that negative people want someone to be held accountable for the pain

they suffer from inside. And they will stop at nothing, until someone takes the blame. So until then everything that we try to fix or lift higher will fall until then. I have faith that together as people we can overcome anything. We will hold the hands of the Negatierians one day and say our prayers and eat a hardy meal. If we could, let's start at the base line. No one had a choice of what color they will become! No one knew what gender they would be! No one had a choice of what financial state they would be born in! And no one knew what country they would be born in! If you can remember these four things, you would see people different and know that their difference was put here to help you, not compete against you. When you take your car to the shop, do you feel prejudice towards the mechanic because he knows more than you? Or do you hope he knows more than you and fix your car correctly. Guess what, it is like I said, he was put here to do a job correctly. I hope you see the difference, and how difference can help you not hurt you.
