Do you remember?

..Do you remember what it was like, when we were nothing but mere little children? Frolicking alongside the meadow and lying under the stars. Okay, maybe that was a little exaggerated in a very Hollywood kind of way.

Close your eyes.

Think back, to what it was like 10 years ago. (I'm assuming everyone is 18 years old. Yes, I'm presumptuous) Do you remember your dreams? Do you remember what was your ambition? We all had big dreams, we all wanted to change the world in ways that no one have ever did before. Everyone wanted to be Jesus in his own way, well in a less walking on water, curing the crippled but more of changing the world kinda way. You get the gist of it, right? Being literal all the time isn't fun.

Oh, we all wanted to be doctors, lawyers, police, fire fighters because we all wanted to help people. What happened to all of us, if we all wanted to only help people. Why is this world such a wicked place, why are there so much politics amongst once another?

..What happened to us?

Didn't we all want to help people, why are we doing the exact opposite we wanted to? Why do we compromise one thing over another and slowly become something we initially told ourselves we would die if we ever turn out to be that person.

The irony is, we did become the person and know that we are .. we are not doing anything about it. Assuming that nothing could be done, we surrender our dreams. We make another compromise. We accept the horrors that has become of us.

"Its just the way society works"

We tell ourselves that. But is there really no way to change it. If the person you were 10 years ago saw what you are today, he'd probably rip your ass off with his bare hands. Provided he has the strength, being a child and all. But really, what happened to all of us?

When we were little, it was so easy to apologize. It was so easy to make things better. We never hold grudges, we never keep things in our hearts. We just say it as it is and leave the bygones as bygones and we always question the adult's stupidity for being unable to just apologize and forgive, for being so full of pride.

"What's the damned point?"

We always asked ourselves, why cant we all just be friends.. Isn't that much better? Back then, everyone were friends regardless of colour and upbringing. Petty things didn't get in the way. The only enemies we had was people of the opposite gender.

Cooties, are evil. I say.

In twisted irony, we all become things we dint want to be. We all do the very things we questioned and rose against. As we become exposed to society we become so full of pride, so much angst so little remorse. We become so judgemental with skin colour and upbringing. We become what we do not want.

If we all wanted to help people, if we all wanted to all just be friends.. why are people plotting against each other? Why are there people fighting all over the world. Why do we still who grudges against each other?

The world has become such a nasty place.

..Perhaps we all just need a second, to look back in retrospect. To regain our values, and become less cynical of the world. Just a second to look back, maybe that's all it takes.. just a second to be a child again, to just let go of everything and just live life as it is.

.. I would certainly like that. Wouldn't.. you?
