[Image] If you want to change your life, change what's important to you.

The truth is that there is two types of people in the world. Those who grow from society, and those who grow from understanding it. Einstein, 2pac, Jesus, and MLK were all a part of the latter, so you are in good company. The truth is most people rely on the social acceptance of others, for personal justification for their lives. For them to even begin to question the fucked up aspects that they have allowed to go on unmentioned, would require to question the very thing that gives their lives meaning and reason. The truth is, it is not easy for people who want to stand up for morality. But it's people who think differently who change the world. Like seriously, think of one "normal" person who has changed the world? It doesn't happen cuz they are products of their environment, and for most of them that all they want to be. A few once introduced to the possibility that they might be wrong will change, these are the great people in the masses. But most won't until their personal justification given to them by their external social existence is threatened. Ie once gay hating on gay marriage makes it so more people disagree than agree with them will they change.... I could go on but I'm drunk right now. End of the day, just know what you are dealing with, and work your fucking ass off questioning yourself, and your reasons for beliefs, and what is need to address these problems, and I'm sure you will become a person the world would be lucky to have. We suffer more than most people, but we are also the only people who change shit.

I'd much rather be unhappy in the truth that helps me see what it takes for to get to honest betterment and true happiness. Than happy in ignorance that cases nothing for honesty.

Best of luck to you.
