According to Dictionary.com Cynical suggests a disbelief in the sincerity of human motives. It means that we would rather look at the negative of peoples actions than find the positives. It’s hard to believe that people can be like that. To be so Pessimistic about life. To wake up each day and convince oneself that nothing good ever happens, and that nothing can be done to change the bad things in this world.
I thought that I was a very optimistic person, that I saw the positive in everything and everyone. But now when I look at what I have done, the way my point of view effects my actions, the way I look at life. I see that I too am one with cynicism. I doubt what I can do. I doubt that my dreams will ever be a reality. I doubt if I can sculpt the world around me, in ways that I imagine and dream of.
I looked at the world around me and saw the pain and suffering. I knew that someone had to go out there and make a stand against the injustice and cruelties in this world. But I also convinced myself that no matter how big of a stand I made or how big of an effort I made nothing can really change. I am too small of a person, to unimportant of a person to make a noticeable change in this big world.
I let my doubt and my disbelief hold me back and also look at others who did take a chance as crazy. I mean really what 1 person can really do.
Later on I realized what 1 person CAN do. After coming to terms with who I am, and what my role is in this world, I knew that I am capable of great things. I knew that I can adapt and I can inspire, I can lead, I can take a stand and once I convince myself of what I can do others who are skeptics will also follow.
Now, I know my future, I know how I am going to leave my mark in this world. I am sure of myself, and the actions I take. I can’t just sit back and watch my home be ripped apart and see my sisters and brothers suffer. If no one else will step up to take charge I will, and I won’t ever back down again.
Life is a whole lot brighter when you can see that the glass always full, and really if u think about the there is no other way to look at it. My science teacher once told me, half of the glass is filled with water and the other half with air. It is always full; it’s all in your perception.

ReplyDeleteYes one person can indeed make much more of a difference than one may think they can. Just as you said in your blog, all it takes is for someone to open their eyes and realize what they are capable of doing and then put it into affect. Look at all of the great leaders in this world that have made a difference around them. They all had to start somewhere and had to just keep pushing themselves until they were able to make a difference around them.
