• Speech on People and Emotions
    by Joseph A. Angel

    People are like Trees. The Negative emotions within us are like Fire. Because of them, we begin to burn with these emotions, and then someone else is caught on fire, caught in these negative emotions, and the next thing you know, the whole Forest we call The World is engulfed in the Wildfire of Anger, Hatred, and War. People say they don't want their children living in this kind of world. However, the truth is, they're the ones creating it. We're creating it. This is the kind of world we are making for our children and the children we will someday have. A world swallowed by rage and conflict because we choose to be blind to the peaceful solutions to problems. You must, we must, throw away these negative emotions, these embers, and put out the Wildfire that tightly grasps the Forest we call the world. Let's do a favor. Let's create a Positive World. If you truly love your children, if you will truly love the children you will someday have, then you will truly love each and every person in this world. For whether you like it or not, we all share it. So let's share it peacefully for the sake of future generations. These negative emotions, these flames of anger, hatred, and war, the only things they produce are more anger, more hatred, and more war. Innocent people die because of those flames, and as long as you, as we, continue to spawn those flames, we set ourselves, our family, our friends, our neighbors, our children, and the children we will someday have, all of us up for a higher chance of being killed by the hands of those flames. Will we allow ourselves and others continue to pervert this world with such Negative Emotions, or will we correct the corrupt? We spend so much energy, we throw away so many innocent lives, by clinging to anger, hating others, and fighting wars, when all we have to simply do is love one another. Why do you, why do we, put so much energy in things that are bad, when we could put all that energy in things that are good? Don't you want the best for your family, your friends, your neighbors, your children, and the children you will someday have? Well, why shouldn't “the best” include the best world? Everybody was created equal, so if we love some people, we should love all people. What's the point of loving, if we're also going to hate? We have anger, and we have hatred, and from this anger and hatred, wars are born. Innocent people fight these wars to protect the very people who create them. Then they are killed in these wars. Then we mourn for them, when in truth, we are the very reason they're dead! With our anger and hatred we created the wars they fought and died in. We ignorantly murdered them with our Negative emotions. As long as we possess these emotions, we will continue to plunge the world into undeserving chaos and catastrophe. The world is eaten alive by Negative Emotions that we feed with even more negative emotions. Why were those people beat up? Because of anger and hatred. Why were those people stabbed? Because of anger and hatred. Why were those people shot? Because of anger and hatred. Because of anger and hatred every single person is guilty of possessing. The world can't change unless we learn to change. We must learn to thrown away our negative emotions. Our flames of anger, hatred, and war. We want the world to change yet we ourselves are afraid to change. If we change, we can inspire the world to change. We can go down in history as warriors of salvation. Does love really conquer all? Let's put that to the test. Let's love ourselves, our family, our friends, our neighbors, our children, our children we will someday have, and the world. Let's love every single person in the world. Let love be the mightiest weapon. Let's use love to slay anger, to slay hatred, to slay war. We were born without negative emotions, so let's die without negative emotions. Using negative emotions to solve problems only creates new ones. Negative emotions aren't the only way to solve problems. We are perfectly capable of using Positive emotions and avoiding rage and conflict. Yet we blindly choose not to. We ourselves pervert our own world, our home, the home of our family, our friends, our neighbors, our children, and the children we will someday have. If you, if we, truly love all of those people, we will truly love all other people. If we truly love all those people, we will change ourselves and the world for the better for those people and all other people. If people are like trees, let people be beautiful trees and discard Negative emotions.
