To me, life is hard. To everyone I know, life is hard. To the good and bad people, life is still hard. LIFE IS HARD! There really is no rest for the weary. None! Though I never would, I can imagine why people commit suicide, but I truly never would! They are lonely, responsible, unhealthy, or unwanted. They are simply miserable. It is a scary feeling to be alone. I have only had small moments when I feel alone, so I cannot imagine how anybody can be alone there whole lives. I think about those poor people in India having to beg with there frightened voices and there week hearts. They are shy and mad at the world, but have to hide it to survive. One class mate of mine once asked me “how could I help the homeless by eating all my food, what good would that do?” For them, nothing at all, for yourself, you may feel thanksgiving, peace, appreciated to be alive, to have a home, to know where you your next meal will come from, to understand you have safety and basic needs. Maslow's hierarchy of needs consists of only five theoretic ideas that show how a person can go through life without being miserable. Number 1, the need of Self-Actualization. This means to have in your life, Morality, creativity, problem solving and acceptance of facts. Number 2, the need of self Esteem: Confidence, achievement, and respect. Number 3, Love. Everyone needs this because it assures friendship, family and sexual intimacy. The fourth is Safety. This I know I could never live with out. One person that makes me feel safe is my dad. I think about those children and those mothers without husbands and fathers. How unsecured can you get? The last is Physiological needs, which are the basic needs. Of course you need to breath. You need food, water, and sleep. Yet, many individuals still don’t have even these basic things in this life. I want you to think what lies outside your comfort zone. Could you stand sleeping outside in the middle of the winter season as a homeless person? Could you imagine your life without parents or siblings? So, the next time you through away an apple with only one bite in it because you decide you would rather swipe your friends cookies, remember what you have and what others do not.
