"No Man Is An Island" John Donne.
Everyday, everyone, everywhere carries with them an influence. Though it has been called by many names (i.e., aura, atmoshphere), every man, woman, boy, or girl has it. Everyone you come in contact with has it. You have it.
And though you may never speak a word, or even look their way, your influence has an affect on everyone you come into contact with.
You are what you experience. You are what you read. You are what you listen to. You are movies or televisions shows you watch. You are what you drink. You are what you eat. Each of these things informs your thoughts, your words, and your actions; which, in turn, determines what kind of influence you carry.
The choice is yours. Will you choose to take those things into your heart and mind that will corrupt and destroy your friends, and those you love? Or will you choose to take in those things that will uplift not only you, but all of those you will pass... on the street, on the train, at the grocery store, at the mall?
Because of the choice you make, you could be the one who starts to make the world a better place for all of us. Or, you could be the next tool in the hand of the Hater to make this place just that much more difficult for us to survive in.
Either way, we never saw you coming.
