DO NOT HATE

I am a current american student studying abroad. I am very aware of many peoples hatred towards the country which i have residence in and I. People need to stop being so irrational. Yes, I am from America. However, that doesn't make up who I am or my moral beliefs. I hate war all together. It seems as though by now (present day) with all the educated people of the world, that it is apparent with history and time we need to come to some sort of peace. Killing one another is not the answer. Eventually we will kill all man-kind. People from all countries if you go back in time people from all over are our brothers, sisters. We are one. One world of humanity. If you like to imagine the world of womans rule. How would it be different? woman wouldn't bomb eachother or even kill because we are more emotional and have more feelings and sympathy for one another. Murder isn't going to prove anything. Revenge isn't the answer either. We must come to an understanding with one another. Yes there are going to be conflicts but we need to reason and share. There is so much wealth in the world, and yet so much poverty. We need to share wealth to the poor. Our world need to suceed with educating everyone so the our children can prosper to love and respect one another. Not hate, disrespect and kill those of difference. Everyone is different in some way shape or form. You can't assume just because of one government or culture that all of the people are with consent to the decisions made. Not everyone had their way with the election of Bush. It was so boarder-line with another president. If i had it my way there would be no rule at all. People need to live their lives not in fear but hope and love for the future. It makes me cry knowing that people hate me because of where i reside. If i had one wish it would be that everyone had an equal chance. People were born with the same opportunities with everyone else. For everyone who is reading this I am not a bad person i want to change the world if i could and for every day that i am alive i try to convince others of my ethical notion. Don't glare at that person just because you have your assumptions. Be aware that everyone is hearing a biased story, that we can't all believe. It is a trick, you must stay strong and arise over this revulsion. Help your neighbor instead of pushing them by. We are all in this together. All beliefs or disbeliefs, don't look at my culture, my clothes or my face. See through it to my heart, my mindset of peace.
