Essay: I Dream A World



My fantasy world, just like Langston Hughes, is a world with no sorrow, no pain, no violence or fear. I fantasize of a planet that every single strain of grass is green; the birds are always flying and singing, people are laughing and playing and the world turns calmly and peacefully. I dream of a world were nothing matters to anyone, but the uniqueness of a person and how just them being here can change the world. Unique: existing as the only one; the embodiment of unique characters or the only specimen of a given kind; meaning no one is exactly alike. My fantasy world has no duplicates; everyone is themselves, no one tries to become someone else and "will share the bounties of the earth." The sun will shine and everyone has extravagant smiles on their faces "and joy, like a pearl,
attends the needs of all mankind."

Everyone participates in creating a world worth living...

As of right here, right now, I can't go through a day without stress, anger or any other emotion rather than happiness. This world is corrupt and outrageous. The human beings walking along the dirt paths and streets, makes the world become what it is today...wretched and ridiculous. Just by one bad decision one person makes, everyone else has to suffer and pay the same consequences. What is the most common fault I see in society? The most common fault is that there are people who have the nerve to judge others. Who are they that God has given them the permission to judge over all humans? He who has not sinned can cast the first stone. NO ONE IS PERFECT, so who will be the first to cast that first stone? Not you and definitely not me. Everyone has made mistakes more than 10 times. Everyone has sinned. So with that in mind, who is foolish enough to judge a human that he himself is guilty of the same act? It's never fair...

Everything that I knew was once wrong, it is now being known as the right thing, the okay thing today. I can't watch TV without hearing about a dirty, psychotic man raping a 4 year child that is innocent and has no say whether she has a choice or not or a 16 year old teenager died in a drive-by because he just happens to be there, even though he had nothing to do with it whatsoever. He had his whole life ahead of him. He was a straight "A" student and got a scholarship for his athletic ability. All of this chaos seems like it has become a daily routine. It's unacceptable. America is not a free country as she claims to be. It seems as if everyone has forgotten the true meaning of what it means to be an American.

Do you want to know an interesting fact that I learned awhile back? Another name for humans is Homo sapiens. Looking at this title for mankind, makes me laugh. It’s such a funny word, but it sounds ugly at the same time. I mean how would I like to be called a homo sapien? As I took Latin classes my freshman and sophomore year, I learned the true meaning of what Homo sapiens means. The word homo comes from the Latin language meaning man and the word sapiens, also, comes from the Latin language word meaning wise. In other words, Homo sapiens mean wise men. To me, that’s an honor. I mean, to be given a title of being wise is more than I could ask for. Now think about it, does all humankind deserve to be called wise men? Are you contributing in the faults of this world by your actions?
