At random

Sometimes I sit and wonder can life really be this crazy, are we just brought in this world to die, or are we here to make this world a better place. I really don't know my calling maybe if i'm blessed to be on earth in the next couple of years maybe I will know what it is. We all experience things for a reason, going through hard times aren't meant for us to suffer, their meant to make us stronger and for us to learn from the situation.
Why are we so tempted to take the wrong path when the right one is so clear to us? Do we give in to failure or we will conquer our fears. Nobody is this world knows you better than you know yourself. How can anyone tell you something about yourself that you haven't already figured out? Are we as a people so see-through that everyone who looks at us knows all our hurt and pain?
Why are blacks so divided as a people, with all Malcolm, Martin, and others fought for? I bet they are turning in their graves right now. I know we are no longer in shackles and chains but mentally we are still slaves. Why are minority the poorest people in this country, why are we so busy trying to fight for peace, and trying to feed other country, when we as American are suffering ourselves? Why are our troops still in Iraq why? Is intimidation and isolation that bad it leads 1 boy to kill 32 people and injury many more? Is humiliation enough to have us wanting this man fired for a statement that he knew was wrong before it left out of his mouth? Do you think drugs are going to be the next genocide for our people? Why are schools building day care for girls to bring their kids while they attend school?
