Have you ever took the time to just think? Think about life and they way we live it? The things people do and whats left unsaid. I always have thought about the way life works, wondering all these profound questions. Why some people do what they do, why we say things we don't mean, why we take life for granted.
Recently over summer, i saw something that really mad me think about the way we live and the actions we take. Fifteen year old, Larry King, was murdered for being gay. I know that i don't personally relate to his sexuality choices, but seeing this story really made me think about how a person could do this to a young boy, a boy only in eighth grade. I don't understand what's going through peoples minds when they have the thought to murder or hurt someone in this way. Everyday, thousands of people die for incidents that could easily be prevented. I have met some amazing people in my life who are gay, and i see nothing wrong with it what so ever. But that's not the point, the point is that the world we live in is so stereotypical and criticizes every little thing, and its only getting worse. It just so happened that the day after i watched this, there was another thing on the news about another 15 year old boy, who was set on fire and set to burn to death by three other boys he attended school with. Luckily, he ran to a near by pool and set off the flames. Weather he survived the fire or not, its the matter that these kids actually did this and now the burned boy has to live with the emotional memories and scars that were set on the table because of what he went through. Why did this happen? Because he didn't pay the three kids back $40 for a video game. I cant even think of words for something like this to express how many things were running through my mind after seeing this, and the murder with Larry. It's and emotion that words can not even begin to say. The thought of someone doing this to one another, and these are just two stories out of millions.
Everybody has a voice, small or large, and every body has the right to be heard. But what if it's true when they say actions speak louder than words. What if even those who speak up with their voice get over ruled by the actions others take?
ah i dont know what else to add to this to make it an actual essay? is it good so far?
i have to write about a turning point in my life, and i figured this would be a good topic
what else should i write?? i really wanna involve something with saying "we've all been told actions speak louder than words" but i dont know how to incorperate it
