you may call me a dreamer
but i'm not the only one
love is about more than family and friends
or fairytale endings
its also about how
every person that lives in your neighborhood
every person that lives on this earth
has someone that cares about them. they're all important, somehow.
and how those links of importance and love go all around the world.
and how we're all caught in that web together.
sometimes it seems like hate rules the world
and we are powerless to change it
well..
we can change the world.
we ARE the world.
are you ready?
so i guess people want to know about the person behind this. my name is marilyn. i'm a girl with big dreams for humanity. i've seen horrible things and i've seen amazing things, and now i have a message. i'm an idealist, and a bleedheart. i want to change the world, but i know i've got some learning to do. and thats why i'm here. i want to talk about this idea i have. i want to see if anyone will listen, if anyone agrees. and i also want to hear from people who disagree. great knowledge come from discussion.
but this page isn't about me.
its about the message. its about OUR future,
and how are to live if we want to save it.
so that's the story.
love is about MORE than caring about the people around you.
love requires you to be a STRONG person.
they say that 'an eye for an eye keeps the whole world terrified'
and if we want to stop the circle of violence and hatred
it has to stop with us
we need to be able to stare hatred, ignorance and insult
straight in the eyes
and not raise an eyebrow
not raise a single judgement.
hatred arises from ignorance, an unwillingness to understand
to live LOVE, we need to put aside that urge to protect ourselves against it
and try and understand hate itself.
love isn't easy.
it wouldnt be as amazing of a force if it WERE.
