When looked in the dictionary the definition of a human being you will get any individual of the genus Homo, especially a member of the species Homo sapiens. What does this definition really explain besides genes or what species we are in? It doesn’t explain a real human being. A body or mass with emotions, actions, feelings, and senses.

A human being today is someone who works so hard to get where they are. They will ender failure most of the time.  When they fail they don’t stop they will keep going to pass, because passing is one of the best feelings in the world. Most humans beings are filled with emotions that they use on a daily bases. Human beings are not just part of a category they are living and breathing meaningful things.

Today when I look around I forget that. I watch as people put down their neighbors. I watch as one preaches to do the right thing but with a turn of a cheek that same person is doing the wrong thing. I watch as a crowd of young kids bully’s another one just because their different. The worst part is the difference the kids see is nothing bad. The difference isn’t a mean person, abusive person or a  hurtful person. All the difference is that person is not like them and they don’t want to take the time to get to know them.

What happened to the world where you knew what your friend or neighbor was doing because they told you. You didn’t have to go hear it through gossip or a chat room or blog. What happen to the day when you greeted someone they greeted you back with a compliment.  These days seem like every day they are getting further and further away and the worst part is nobody is noticing.  Because they are too scared to stand up for themselves and do what is right.

I understand every buddy is busy with their own lives and bad things are happening to all of us. What people need to understand is the recession is an awful part of our lives, but communities get you through it. Positive conversations with others who understand make you who you are. When one individual opens up to another great things happen. It feels like the whole world is in a daze and they just need someone to wake them up.

Instead of beating yourself up over   the poor economy. Stand up and help  your one positive message will give people hope. One person can make a huge difference. All it takes is the will in you to make a difference. Nobody can tell you to stand up but once you do you will know exact ally what I am talking about. Life is so short if you don’t believe me go down to your local nursing home and talk to one of the residents.
