Gifts

Sometimes inspiration is a realizing of a truth.  Sometimes it's writing.  Sometimes it's drawing.  And sometimes inspiration is just the calling of hope and love into one focused thing.  But inspiration always succeeds in one thing: bringing more inspiration to the world.
It is one of the many gifts people have been given.  The gift of life.  The gift of choice.  Yes, we are certainly blessed in this world, especially in America (at least for what I know for sure).  We live in a beautiful country with an importance on education.  Unfortunately, some places don't have that.
Some places are lacking clean water.  They're lacking food.  Or money.  People out there are suffering.  And yet we have our gifts.
We say we are thankful.  We say that we are proud.  But maybe we shouldn't be proud.  Maybe we should lower our pride and be humble and SHOW that we are thankful for what we have.  Actions speak louder than words; much, much louder.

People are hurting.  Everywhere.  From the tip of Alaska to the bottom of Australia, there's people being hurt.  Some are hurt physically.  Some are hurt mentally.  But they're all being hurt.
What about someone who bullies you?  Who says something that hurts?  Did you ever stop for a moment to think they could be hurting too?

We have the same blood and the same basic human needs, so why are we letting people hurt?  Don't we have gifts?  Aren't we thankful for our everyday blessings?  Let's show it.

Let's make those gifts something useful, so maybe someday everyone can have their own gifts.
