The first two weeks of 08 have passed, and so far, my mission to use my blog as a place to encourage the consideration of world peace isn't going as well as I'd hoped. Also, the depressing thoughts that come along with considering was to accomplish world peace are incredibly taxing on my young mind. I remember it was about 8 years or so ago, when the world seemed beautiful, wondrous, and the people within it I held to be generally good natured. Everything I believed had a level of purity, innocence, and value. Going from that state of mind to one that must consider the greatest hardships people must endure, visualizing the horrors some people must see everyday in war torn nations, I must admit is painful just to think about. Maybe, perhaps this is another reason why we may not want to think about working toward peace, we try to think of other, more pleasant things besides war, the dark side of human nature, and the bloody violence associated with all that. If I could get more contributions, stories from other people, something so that I don't feel like I must bear the weight myself. I'd much rather explore the good parts of human nature, the wonderful mysteries of existence, and maybe get into a humorous post every now and again. Maybe someday, when I've experienced more, develop a larger audience, and am more eloquent in my writing I can return to this effort and have a greater influence.
I will of course be open to invitations of others to discuss the possibilities of peace at anytime here on my blog, however my focus for now will return to other philosophic or literary topics. Hopefully though, those of you who do read my writings will enjoy my poems and other philosophies as well. Writing I believe is my greatest talent, whether god given, luck, natural ability, or the benefit of a decent education, writing is my gift which I wish to share, and I hope a gift that others may enjoy.
