Together

Most things out there that makes us happy would involve "together." Eating. Partying. Marriage. Family. All these things bring people together and they are usually synonymous with being happy. So, in other words, together is usually a good thing!
Whenever I am at a friend's party or a family gathering, I am usually in a good mood for some reason. Maybe because I haven't seen some of them for a while? Or is it because the smiles and laughter of the others are rubbing off on me? Whatever it is, the feeling of togetherness is pretty much..... magical. It imbues us with this uncontrollable and sometimes unexplainable sense of joy. It doesn't even have to be a big group. When I think of all the things I do for fun, like playing a sport, playing video games, or watching a movie, having a person by your side makes everything so much more interesting and enjoyable.
Which is why I would never do something fun by myself unless I really have to. It just seems like such a waste when I'm not sharing it with someone else.

Alone

I don't think any of of us are truly alone. The feeling is all in our head. Unless someone is stranded on an uncharted island, we all have family and/or friends that we can turn to and get help from. 
Being "alone" is probably the feeling we get when things in our life are not going so well. The times when we feel that everything in the world is going against you and that wherever you go, some misfortune is lurking somewhere to get you. I am sure we all have had those days before. On days like these, we feel as if no one can help us which leads to us being "alone." But like I said before, this is all in our head. We have friends or family that we can talk to and work things out with. 
Some could argue that I am alone write now as I am writing my blog. In a literal sense it could possibly be true, but there are people living in my house, people living around me, and people online for me to talk to. If people actually feel like they are alone, they are only imprisoning themselves from the outside world. There are so many people out there, they just have to take the initiative. 

Save the Earth, Do this!

Our Earth is slowing dying. The cause of it? Us. We create the problems in the world and we are the ones who aren't doing anything about it. People say that pollution is destroying our Earth, but where does pollution really come from? Greed. Laziness. Gluttony.
We consume more than we actually need. We take and take but we never give back. We sit by and expect things to come to us instead of doing it ourselves. These are many of the issues that affect our world today. Nobody is perfect and I am sure all of us have committed one of these acts before, but that does not mean it's okay to constantly do it. I think the thing that drives people to act this way is because they probably think it's okay for them to do it because others are doing it as well. People like to take the easy path than the more difficult one. The easy path is smooth and easy to walk through, but the reward and the benefits to society is minimal. The difficult path...... is the more difficult one. The path that has many bumps, detours and road blocks, but it is the path that must be take to make ourselves and the world a better place.
Give back to society. Help those who are in need and consume enough only to survive. It is hard to ask, since I probably can not do it myself but I think that is one of the best ways to save the Earth.
