Our Wasted Mindspace

First a word of warning... I wrote this last year in a book, put it to one side and forgot about it. Now, I'm going to type it up here. So, what I say in it will be what came straight out of my mind and put onto the paper... only because I didn't know how to do blogs here online. Now I do, well, I don't write in the book anymore.

My life has changed so much in the past six years. I've done plenty and have a lot more to achieve to get where I want to be. However, for now, I'm happy; that is hard to achieve in this day and age of technology. Life is a gift and not a lot of us realise this until it's at risk of being lost. We don't care for our bodies, our minds; we don't keep up with educating ourselves and have the wont to learn all the time throughout our lives. Our minds have so much potential and it's a waste that we don't absorb and learn and push ourselves beyond our own boundaries of learning.

As from a very young age, we are pushed to learn and experience everything of our world. So, once we get a job and have a family, is that supposed to cease for us but not our kids? This world may not be exactly the same as it was when you were young, but then that's where your stories come into it... to fill in the spaces where school and books don't. Life is to be experienced throughout your life; not only when you're young. We must enjoy ourselves as though we're birds; free from constraints and boundaries, always willing to learn and see life from all angles possible.

It's not just learning we must keep doing; it's our attitude as well. A positive outlook to life will open doors, make the impossible possible and allow us stretch our wings fully, tilt our faces toward the heavens and take flight like the fallen angels we are. We only need to search for knowledge from the right resources and places to educate ourselves; as it needn't cost us thousands of dollars in university fees or loans. Knowledge is a powerful thing to possess; using it correctly requires tact, and when you do use it right respect follows you around. yes, if we use our wasted mindspace, fill it with knowledge - useful knowledge - each of us will learn to respect each others' faults as humans should. But the unfortunate reality is that we don't and won't; that we are in this day and age, still as self-destructive as our caveman ancestors. It is bad enough that it's to the point that eventually, we will extinct ourselves from our own home by destroying our natural resources and thus our very existence.

After that, what do we do next?
