If you take the time to go through all of the articles that others write before you start to tackle yours, you very often find that someone else has already said it! It meaning, what you have to say, what you are going through, where your emotion lay, and so on. I have even come across times when a reply will trigger anothers article and others will run with it from there. Isen't it amazing how so many people from so many differant lands, diverse cultures, areas, and worlds apart, are so insync with each other?
When you read the articles in JU, as we all know, you can find anything from politics to just shear nonsense(which always breaks up the monotony). It is a very versitile communtity. It does seem odd though, that with all this versitility there is little difference. I have read many blogs were others are talking about "not feeling anything anymore" and things as such, then the replies ring true to proove that "they are not alone", or "I know exactly how you feel". There is no doubt that so many others really "do" know how you feel or what you are going through. I could save myself trying to say it the right way, just by reading and replying to others articles. Maybe not even have to reply if I didn't have anything intelligent to say. Why, becouse everyone else is saying exactly what I am thinking,, or feeling or need or am going through. When you sit back and look at that as a whole, after reading so many that just seem to connect, you can't help but wonder, what is happening in this world that so many need so much.
What is happening to this world that you could take a community such as this one and end up with more that are, sad, lonely, neourotic, integent, ill, without shelter, hungry for emotion to return and the list goes on, then people that have things going well? People who have not alot to offer, but offer what they can, and sometimes more then they should? People who basically are living through one or another hell but standing there with their arms wide open for each other? I just can not help but realize that all of these articles that are pretty much relaying many of the same elements, are in place because of the state in which this world has found itself. Economically, moralistically, biblically, and all, these things or lack of, have stunted the revalution of ones own self. All that we are subjected to has debilitated even the most intellegent persons thought process and assisted in a feeling of helplessness.
In writting this, it completly saddens me to see that there are so many beautiful people in this world with the potential to contribute so much posititvity, going through so much negativity. Seeming that their emotions, physical being, economical state, physcological process has become destitue and deserted.
I know that I may not have gotten across the exact point I am trying to make(I am trying though), and I am sorry if I am not making sense, but I just feel overwhelmed by seeing so many of the same exact problems reaching across the many thousands of miles with only each other to lean on. This may turn out to be another one of those articlaes I write that reaches no one, but that ias so alright, I know what I mean and what I wish upon the stars....for all of you as well.

You wrote it beautifully! Sometimes you can feel so overwhelmed by the pain in the world. And as hard as it is to find hope sometimes, I really do have hope. I have so much hope that I am determined to give some of it to others, because I've seen what it can do. I hope that seeing that others written about what you want to write about, doesn't stop you from saying it in your own way. I enjoy your blogs!
