Think Before You Speak

Have you ever heard of people ranting on something

especially when that something could be like the government, or the war on terrorism

and you are just sitting there listening or barely

but that person is just ranting on and on

and you want to tell them to shut up but either you walk away, or that person just won't listen

and i know that almost everyone, no i take that back, EVERYONE will be that person at some point

but none the less, it's annoying on many different levels

one, cuz it's just a person yapping, and two, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT

if you don't have proof

if you don't have evidence

if you don't have experience

you can ALMOST convince somebody

but you cant

because it's almost

see

i hear people whether they are payed to do it or they are just a regular person

ranting on the government

how the troops should be sent back

how George W. Bush should just go to hell

how the economy is going to the drains and it's all who and who's fault

how we just keep and fight, fighting continuously like the way we are in debt continuously

but let me ask something

DO YOU HAVE A PLAN

do you have a BETTER plan?

who knows what's right or what's wrong

in the government

in politics

it's just all a blur

and you have to carefully examine to find the answer

and even that might not be enough

sure the government has done bad stuff before

no country is perfect

but all countries can be better

imagine what the US is capable of

we could start a nuclear war

but we didn't

you have to remember

that these things are complicated are

as complicated as many other things

complicated depends on how you look at something

it could be simple, but if you think about it, it gets complicated

which i don't recommend doing

complicated could also imply something large

something that takes a LOT to take in

i've tried to take in big concepts

and it didn't work out

before you go ranting on something

you need to think this

Are you sure on what you are saying?

Are you 100% sure?

Do you have something to say when you find out that you are wrong?

Do you?

sure

you can be right

and you may be

but there are just many things attached to what you say

some you may know

and some you may not

some things that you are sure about

may become scrambled up at the time when you least expected

like which would you choose if you had to choose? righteousness or peace?

you may find yourself ranting on Bush but then realizing that he was just representing what it means to be American

taking a stand, democracy, justice, and all the other stuff

being president is hard

it's one of the many jobs where you realize that there are strings attached

and one move could lead to a catastrophic domino effect

and you don't know which move

why?

Because strings are attached and one pull, the other ones are pulled too

looking at things in all angles

that's what you need to do

that's what everyone needs to do

realization

if you have it

then you can say anything without being wrong

obviously no one is like that

but you can be the best you can be

so

what if you realized

and what if you didn't

but you ended up in the same ranting spot

what is the difference?

well, it's the fact that you at least tried

see

that's the problem everywhere

what's the problem? it could be a problem and it could just be something else

what people realizes

what makes sense to them whether they know all the facts or not

beliefs

religion

simple things that drives people, government, countries, and some other things that are just out there in the universe

you cant see it

but it's there

i know that i have used government and politics a lot in here

but those are just example

i don't have the brain power to think of anything else

but i know that there are more examples

it's like a circle

you've been told that a circle has infinite points

but when you pin point one

you suddenly realize that another point

a totally different point

is just a nonmeter away from the yours

my point is that

some things

are just complicated

like the circle

and is too broad, too general, too universal, too big, too large, too vast

to take in

to sink in

to realize

and i understand

i'm not forcing anyone

i'm just giving them something to think about

like i did to myself

what i said is a really big thing

and i don't blame you if you are really confused

but i am just glad that i got to it out there, to say what i mean

god that was a mouthful

not that i was saying this whole thing in one breath

cuz that would be weird

so now

either you are already gone cuz you got bored

or you just had to bare through it

or you actually know what i mean

think before you speak

and i think i have thoroughly explained that concept
