People today are stuck in their own world and they don’t know how to get out. We all think we could do so much better than the people in charge, but we can’t really change anything because we’re too afraid of what it will mean. Everyone’s so caught up in their life that they don’t even stop to think about the good in the world and how it would be without the bad. If I wrote a poem or song on how bad things got before I was born, everybody would say “that sounds like something from the past” and then if I wrote a poem or song about how great the future is going to be, nobody would really believe me. People just want the easy way out, instead of trying hard for what they’ve always wanted – happiness. To be happy now means giving everything away and not caring whether your dreams come true or not. It has nothing to do with being selfish.
