6.841

As of 2010, the World Population is said to consist of 6.841 Billion people. What? 6,840,507,000 people who live, breath, eat, sleep, play, work, love, hate, give, take, laugh, cry, contribute or consume. The last 10 years of my life have been spent in numerous places. I resided in the greater Los Angeles area for 5 years. Reno, NV for off and on throughout. Portland, OR the last 2 (which have by far been the best) and now Scottsdale, AZ. Every place is quite populated in the worldview of density size per area. However, each city has been incredibly different. Different energy, different conversations, different intellectual structures, different belief systems, values, moral, conviction, different foods, music, art, entertainment, different attitudes, linguists, accents, verbage, different attire, styles, and physical hygiene, different climates and most importantly different people. However, we are all people, right? All 6.841 billion of us are all people correct? All human beings that need to eat, sleep, drink, breathe, work, play, love????? Why if we are all the same at our core, we look so different? Why if we are all human beings, living amongst one another, we try to stand out, almost to my perception of as if we were competing with one another rather than working together with one another for a common goal? The more places I have lived and traveled upon, the greater my soul years for equality. THE WORLD IS ENORMOUS. People are everywhere. People carry beauty. Beauty is perceptual. But the more I live, the more I find that this 'world' (America media and the stereotypical norm) says that beauty isn't perceptual. It isn't 6.84billion people wide. America says their is One Way. One prominent country. One prominant people group. One physical beauty. One way to live life. I'm not going to explain what they say it is. I trust you all to open your eyes and see it for yourself. I trust that many of you already do see it for yourself and ask, really? Is this what I wake every morning for and exhert my energies toward. Is saving for a BMW and House really what I want my legacy to be. Sometimes, check that, majority of times I think I am so important. I think I am bigger or better than the other 6 billion-840 million-5hundred and 99thousand-9hundred and 99 people in this world. Sounds different spelled out right? Put's it into a bit more perspective, doesn't it? Here's the paradox though, you are important! You are beautiful. I am important. I am beautiful. But, everyone is important. Everyone is beautiful. Everyone is a human being. We are all the same at the core. Millions and Billions of us could argue how we all got here and what our purpose is. This is not the point though. The point is that we are all here. The point is that we are all living amidst this giant sphere of cosmic energy someone labeled Earth. The point is that we all have purpose. We all need the same things. So my question then is why do we all look so different. What has gotten us to December 7, 2011. What has tore us apart and made us all look, act, speak, work, play, love, hate, and feel so differently from one another? Should it be this way? Check that, maybe a better question is, do we want it to continue to be this way or is their a more beautiful way? I am one little person amidst this world and I don't know. But what I do know is this. The more I have experienced. The more I have travelled. The more people I have met and actually opened myself up to and been willing to invest in whether it be an hour conversation at a bar over a beer with no pretense or selfish intent or it be someone who I have spent my entire 27+years of life with, they all seem to want love. They all seem to hope for more than they currently have, or at least believe that there is something more and greater than what they currently have. Wherever you may be, whatever culture you are within, here's to being the same. Here's to being human. Here's to being equal. I apologize in advance to my Republican family and friends:) for I know you may disagree. But when I dream, I dream of utopia. I dream of love. I dream of a world where all 6.841 billion people may look different on the outside, but live the same within. May our differences bring beauty to this world and more importantly bring us closer together because far too often through my personal experiences they have unfortunately seperated us apart from that which we all are.
