Living in the World Peacefully

I spend too many hours indoors. I wonder if so often when we misplace our peace, if the answer is simply to spend more time outside. I say I wonder, but I already know what kind of person I become when I spend extended minutes under the sky. There I see the rest of the beauty, and it’s not that I forget the chaos of the day. It’s not that the challenges disappear or the discouragement dissipates.

It is hard to comprehend how much hurt is happening in this world and how many hearts are broken. In these trying times, we all suffer, but we do have options to accomplish healing without resorting to hate or revenge. 

We can let what we’ve seen happen in this world especially this week make us feel angry, hateful, or resentful. Or, we can turn these tragedies into opportunities to create more peace and healing in this world.

If we let our hurt and pain turn into hate, revenge, and resentment, we don’t put ourselves in a position of strength to help anyone.  We need to overcome our own anguish so that we can be a light in a time of darkness.

It isn’t easy, and people are at a loss for a solution, but we can all move together towards a world of unity and peace. 

The media is so focused on hate and negativity which can create so much anger. I just see lives that were never given the chance they deserved to prove their innocence. I see people who are willing to protect and serve this nation despite the doubt and cynicism that the uniform is scarred by. I want to see a world that is more peaceful and loving. 

So I took the time to reflect and block out anything that made me feel more anger and hate. Instead, I spent more time in prayer and solitude with the hope that I could in some way find the words to express how I felt so I could reach other people who are hurting and searching for faith.

How does it feel to sit on the roof upside-down and look to the ground? How does it feel if we can touch the sky? Peacefully living in this world is hard, full of injustice, pain and sorrow. Who is standing by my side? Who is supporting me when I am down? Where is everyone when I need them? Everything just feel so empty, as if we are living like a robot, listening to other people order.

Why can't we be free to share peace and love? Why people have to settle everything with fights, law, or war? We should be scared and repent on what we are doing, because we can always keep on return to this world if we do more sins.

[LYRICS}

They said I can't climb the highest mountain
They said I don't have a dream
They said I can't change the world
But then you came to me
You made me begin

I'll get rid off the lies in my head
And I'm taking the very first step
And I'll walk through the dark
And take a deep breath
Cause I know I'll see you there
I will see you there

You told me that I'm never alone
And to have a dream of my own
You're the voice that's calling me from the dark
Together we will see the sun
Another chapter has just begun

I'll get rid off the lies in my head
And I'm taking the very first step
And I'll walk through the dark
And take a deep breath
Cause I know I'll see you there
I'm not going anywhere
I swear

I'll hold on
When the road gets tough
And we will be enough
And if you count to 3
You're gonna be okay
We're gonna be okay

I know you are no real estate [Agent]
But it feels like you are my homies [Mansion]
Usually no one ever hits up my phone
But I can call on our galaxy [Samsung]

Used to sing by myself
Cause no one else was on my wavelength
But since you let me in that door
I'm no longer a whalien

Every time I fall
You my parachute
You my magic shop
You my chicken soup

Scared of being me
Now I speak my truth
We all shooting stars
Now we bulletproof
And it all thanks to you

And I hope this life do treat you well
May we smile even though it's unfair
And we'll walk through that door
Your hand in my hand
Cause I know I'll see you there
You were meant to speak yourself

And I'll walk through that door
But I won't be afraid
Cause I know I'll see you there

I'll speak, I'll smile
I'll dream, I'll shine
It's all because of you

I'll speak, I'll smile
I'll dream, I'll fly
I live so I love

I'll speak, I'll smile
I'll dream, I'll shine
I'll speak, I'll smile
I'll dream, I'll fly
I live so I love
