Sometimes, things happen in our lives that we don't understand.  As we become seasoned with life's experience, we often question the foundations that we were raised upon and turn our backs on the things that have hurt us in our youth. When we have witnessed pain, as we all have in some way or another, we have a tendency to bury it deep inside leaving it to devour our souls.  The more rebellion we ostend on the outside, the less we feel inside. Throughout the years I have learned that, to hate the world and everything it has to offer, is to hate ones own self.  If we seek for the bad things, the bad things are certainly here to find us.  

Open your eyes and your heart to see the good things in everything and everyone, for that is where you'll find peace within yourself and learn to build upon your inner strength.  While I do not walk a straight and narrow path myself, and often times I struggle with my faith; I still believe! The greatest "words of inspiration" ever written can be found in the scriptures.  To read them only with ones' eyes in the form of text, one might argue that the verses were written by a bunch of opinionated old men with warped views on how things should be.  Read with an open heart and you will find the answers to your soul.
