A Summary Of Humanity (Daylight - Maroon 5)

Sometimes I get mad at people and find it hard to remember how, deep inside, we're all really the same. We all have dreams, we all love, and we all hurt. Sometimes, though, it's easy for all of us to forget that. That is until you see something like this. I couldn't stop crying while watching this - I've never been more moved by, of all things, a YouTube video. But you will be, too. Trust me - just watch.

I'm Surrounded By Hypocrites

I see hypocrisy everywhere and it drives me insane. It's even worse when I see people calling out hypocrites for being hypocritical when they, themselves, are hypocritical of the EXACT same things. I see this and want to say something - not out of spite but more like a mother guiding a child through a lesson. Unfortunately, I know it wouldn't go over well and would only result with them fuming at me. People tell me I'm wise and support everything I say to others until suddenly they're the ones I'm talking to and then they want to hear nothing of it. Hypocrites. Hypocrites everywhere.

When someone is giving you advise or criticism - listen to them. Even if everything they are saying seems wrong, at least listen. It can help you grow as a person. Perhaps they are wrong but their comments may make you aware of something you ARE guilty of or DO need to work on or maybe something you are doing great at and should CONTINUE to do.

The greatest advice I can give you in these situations is 2 words:
Just listen.

The Energy

I feel it.
Do you?
Something is coming.
I can feel it all around me - like static in the air.
It reminds me of watching our horses begin galloping across the pasture as a storm moves in before the first wave of thunder even rolls.
Something is happening.
But what?
I think this moment - this time here right now - is when we get to decide.
Anything can happen - the possibilities are endless.
We will decide our own fate - be it good or bad, beautiful or terrifying.
We all hold the power but, I think, it is only a power that can be activated in unity.
We must come together.
We are powerful, limitless beings with the energy of existence itself burning inside us but we are too separated from ourselves and each other to feel it.
The closer I become with myself and the rest of humanity, the deeper I feel the burning energy inside me - inside all of us.
I don't need a Bible to tell me it's there - I feel it!
I want to share it with you but I simply can not.
This is something you must find for yourselves.
But I can help you, if only you will listen to me.
I think this is why some people stop believing in angels.
We expect things to be handed to us and throw temper-tantrums when we get our own way.
We ask "If angels are so good and great and powerful, why do they not come to our rescue?"
I think, in many ways, they do.
But they, too, are limited.
This power is not something even they can hand to us - it is something we must unlock for ourselves.
We are both the lock and the key - we have been all along.
We just need to open our eyes and free ourselves from the lies we've been surrounded by all along - step outside of society and back into humanity - to see it.
I'm doing it right now.
I'm taking baby steps - but I'm getting there.
Are you?
Will you?
Awaken, my friends, and find the truth that you have hidden within your hearts!
Silence your mind, close your eyes, and focus on the energy within.
Place your hand over your heart.
Do you feel that beating?
That is the pulse of energy.
Reach across to a friend and place your hand over their heart.
Do you feel that beating?
That is the pulse of energy.
Walk down to a stream and place your hand into the water.
Do you feel that motion?
That is the pulse of energy.
Look up to the sky and gaze at the stars.
Do you see them twinkling?
That is the pulse of energy.
That, my friends, is but a grain of salt compared to energy flowing through our universe and we are all a part of it.
With this energy, my friends, we will decide what will happen.
