Personal Treatise: Understanding & Creation

    Un-der-stand-ing noun : Mental grasp, the power to make experience intelligible by applying concepts and categories. Each day we face new obstacles in life, as does every single living being around us. As the days roll into one another, there are certain terms that I believe resonate in each person's mind: I don't understand. They don't get it. He, she, no one understands. We are constantly looking at our differences, what separates each of us from the other. We never take nearly as much time to take that extra moment, that fleeting second to try and find a familiarity between one life and another... But if we did... If we took a few moments to try and understand those around us. Maybe delve a little deeper, question something or someone that puzzles us instead of passing judgment so quickly; The connection we could create may be colossal, or at least equalizing.

Cre-a-tion noun : The act of making, inventing or producing, especially : The act of bringing the world into order or existence. As human beings, we are the creations of God, made of his image and put on earth to discover our purpose. Each of us was given the ability of free will in hopes that we may follow a higher path, even in times of adversity or complication. We may choose and act how we please, but with composure, clarity and understanding we, like God have the remarkable power to create almost anything.

     I am no one to a lot of people, just another misunderstanding. I am young to a lot of people. I am only twenty one years old. I have –God willing, so much more life left in front of me, to make my own connections, mistakes and differences. I have faced things that many do not know. I have watched friends suffer from depression, drug addiction or physical abuse. I have watched family struggle financially. I have watched the man I knew to be my father and grew up with, die feet from me in my living room from cancer. I have suffered loss, been humiliated, laughed at, taunted, and put down by people unwilling to understand anything outside of their comfort zone. I don’t know how much I consider be to important in life, and I am sure that like each gust of win that blows by, reminding me of those I have lost my opinions on many topics will alter and evolve, but if there is anything I do know, it is the concept I have described above. We must try our best to learn from one another and understand all that can be understood. 

     Terrible things happen to good people. There are no evident reasons why. We must fight and fight and fight and fight again to over come the evil of our world, because even through our most clouded moments, there is beauty growing all around. Some people may face trials in life so shattering they may not be able to go on, but we, the strong, the ones still fighting the good fight, we must take their purest memories along with us and glorify the positive. Creation is our most blessed gift. Compose yourself, clear your mind, understand all that can be understood and create the life you believe in your heart you deserve
