So as some of you may know, Emma Watson addressed the UN with her speech for gender equality and for the program HeForShe. If you haven’t seen a video or read a transcript I highly suggest that you do. I’ll leave a link to a video at the end of the post.
Anyway, her speech has left me thinking. And it’s not just her speech specifically, but what she is doing which is standing up for something she believes in as well as the others there making their own speeches. I mean I totally support what she’s doing and I think it’s definitely a great thing to promote. It just makes me want more and not want more, but be more. It makes me want to be more than I am which is crazy because I don’t know how to do that. I have no idea where I would even begin to do something like that. They have names and I’m, well I’m me. It just makes me feel that what I’m doing now is petty and meaningless, that I could do more. I just don’t know where to start. There are so many things in this world that need to be worked on. It is such a sad world that we live in. I don’t think there’s been a generation without some kind of world conflict in centuries if ever really. I think everyone is too focused on being better than everyone else. I think we should be focused on ourselves and not focused on making everyone else like us. And I am not trying to conflict with my original start with the gender equality. That is a world thing. Everyone deserves to be treated the same no matter where they are from, who they are, who they aren’t, who they want to be, et cetera… I’m talking more about some of the policies we have and the government system stuff that we sometimes push on other countries. They aren’t us and I think it’s wrong to make them have something that might not work for them. I’m not saying that everyone shouldn’t have the opportunity to be involved in how their systems work or that there are some systems that are wrong that suppress the countries people and things like that. I just mean that our own system is failing right now and we should definitely not be trying to implement such a flawed system on others right now. I think we have a decent start to our government, but it’s fallen apart and it needs to be rebuilt. I think it’s important to reform it every so often. I would hate to see this country torn apart again which I think some of the world would love to see. It’s those countries/groups that we cannot let win. We need to get it together and fix this before we’re broken. We cannot afford to be broken. As a country, we won’t survive if we break again.
I know I kind of got off target there, but I figured I might as well let some of that out while I had it in my head. It may not have come out exactly as I wanted, but I think some of you can kind of understand where I went with that. Anyway, I guess that’s about it. I just wanted to let that out that even though I think I’m crazy I would just like to be more than I am; that there’s a chance I could do something that meant something; that my life could have some sort of purpose. Until next time…
