Just...STOP!

 
Today I got notification on my phone for yet another highway closing for another fatal car crash.  All I wanted to do was scream!  I am so tired of these horrific freeway crashes.  I am tired of hearing that people have been shot, animals being abused, people stealing or POLICE OFFICERS being shot.  This is awful people!

So today I ask that you JUST STOP

Stop trying to read texts while you drive.  Stop trying to read books, answer emails, or even touch your phone while you drive.  You are not that important and you are not that special person that can multitask and drive at the same time.  Don't drive drunk or on drugs.  When you get in your car, put your phone down!  Pay attention to what you are doing!  Remember, you might be the safest driver ever, but you don't know about the other drivers.

Stop killing each other!  Have respect for human life.  Life is not a video game.  You can't start over and everyone gets up and back into position.  You kill and that is forever.  You can't undo it.  Life is precious.  Your life is precious! Respect it.  Don't aim to spend it behind bars.  If you need help, ask.  Ask your teacher, a fireman, a minister, or a policeman.  Ask me.

The police are there to protect you.  Stop killing them.  Don't teach your children to fear them.  Teach them to honor them and trust them.  Have respect for those that serve.  They literally put their life on the line everyday.

Stop hurting animals.  Look, I am not a fan of some of nature, but I respect it.  Except snakes.  Feel free to kill all snakes.  Ew.  Seriously, I hate hearing about tortured cats and dogs.  That is sick behavior.  If you know of someone who does this.  Get them help.  Call someone.  Do something!  GET INVOLVED.

Don't steal.  You may want it now, but once you get it, it doesn't feel good to have it if you stole it.  What feels awesome is if you earned it!  It makes those sneakers, that TV, or that iPhone so sweet.  We are an instant gratification society and that has to stop! 

Take a breath people!  Instead of being angry and negative, find something good in everyone you encounter.  Sometimes it is hard.  You might have to think that they have nice eyelashes, but think it.  Change your focus.  Lets all start paying attention and looking for the positive.  It will change your life. 

Ok, rant over
