The True Meaning Of Life By: Briana Cotten

One can not be kind

without learning the true values in life. 

Finding people who you just can't work well with,

like attempting to mix oil and water. 

Having the world at your fingertips,

being able to make choices that will decide what life you chose to lead.

Before you learn the tender gravity of one's feelings,

you must experience the world.

Experience the sorrow,

the happiness,

and every moment in between. 

Having an open mind, 

treating others the way you want to be treated. 

Never let others destroy your happiness,

don't let them decide how you live YOUR life. 

The behavior of others, 

you cannot let damage your peace of mind.

One may not know the that the words you say-

have a real impact on those around you.

So chose carefully...

You're deciding the legacy and impact you want to leave. 

The more you live,

The more you learn.

The more you experience, 

The more you grow.

The more moments you go through,

The stronger you become. 

The more you learn to love

The more you learn to give back--

The better life will be.

Because we are what make this world go round.

A world without kindness...

is a world I do not want to live in. 

A wise man once said, "Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough" ~Franklin D. Roosevelt. 

Take this from me. Instead of being so quick to judge a person by their appearance, the color of their hair or even how they dress- take a step back. When you first meet someone pretend as if you are blind, take away your use of eyesight. Instead simply just listen. Listen to what they have to say, listen to how they treat others. This is the only way to find out how warmhearted the person may truly be. Not everyone has the looks, but that is not the most important thing. The true purpose in finding a good friendship, a good soulmate, a good overall human being is knowing who they are on the inside-- the out should not matter.
