MY PLAN

I’m supposed to be writing an essay for my English class, but I had this really great idea a couple minutes ago. Life is tough, duh. It’s the challenge that makes stuff interesting. But the thing is, so many people just get down and out about, well, everything. And they express it, too. I’ll admit, writing is a gazillion times better when there’s emotion behind the words, and speeches are more worthwhile when you can hear the feeling in the speaker’s voice. Food tastes better when you have fond memories of it, and games are better when played with people you love.

My point? Emotion makes all the difference. But back to my original statement: life is tough. Mostly people feel negative emotion, whether they bother expressing it or not, it’s there. And since that’s the emotion we as humans so often feel, it shows up in places we pour our souls out freely, like in music, and art, and literature.

But my idea. I believe that if we just cut the crap with all this sadness and misery and just make the choice to brighten up everything we do, it’ll be the opposite of spreading all those awful negative emotions we all know far too well. And yeah, I know, it sounds a bit stupid. I mean, making a choice to be positive? Easier said than done, obviously. But I really, really think that if some people start just being totally and completely positive and happy and kind, it’ll act like a type of cure, maybe. And the cure could just, sort of, destroy as much sadness as we can.

I’ve made a diagram to better illustrate this concept. (I’ve brought some slides with which to better illustrate…)
