Warm and Cold

Humankind will always be an interesting species for many reasons. However, there are people that are naturally warm blooded people; but, they are cold hearted. On the flipside,  there are people who have naturally cold bodies (where they feel cold much of the time); yet, they have the warmest hearts.
    The meaning behind these two unique terms can be interpreted in many ways. However, the true means are within the words themselves. There are thousands of people that are kind hearted people. They dedicate their life to helping others and changing the community that they live in. To further add, they may travel around the country they live in as well as around the world to help others. Hence, they are warm hearted people. On the flipside, there are thousands more that worry about themselves and nobody else. They would rather make money as well as be a greedy individual. In turn, they are cold hearted people.  Instead of giving people a second chance, they fire someone because they did an assignment wrong. People grow up with different lifestyles in addition to being raised differently than others. It plays one of many factors to how they make decisions and choices that end up affecting their future.
   Unfortuntately reality gets in the way of life. Many people are cold hearted, ignorant as well as close minded. It is hard for them to realize that people are not perfect and have flaws. The reality of the current times is that the world is currently in a bad spot in addition to being unbalanced. In essence, it is a worldwide Great Depression in that there are people suffering in different countries as a result of things that have happened in the past ten years. Things are slowly starting to get better but not as quick as it could be. By doing more that will save money such as recycling and other money saving things will help others and the rest of the world. However, with so many people being close minded not many are willing to do so.
   Making a difference in the world comes naturally to some and not so much with others. It is human nature to want to help; however, there are people who are more compassionate towards people and overall things whereas others care a little bit more about themselves while they try to care about others as well. In the current society, people are a little more greedy and tend to think of themselves and their family than anyone else. They do not truly care about people that are homeless and going hungry. Instead, they care for their family and want to see their family members grow instead of helping others get on their feet. People who are more compassionate put others before themselves. To them, they would rather see someone else succeed and worry about themselves later on.
   Changing the world can start with a simple act or saying something simple. The movie Pay It Forward is a movie that everyone can learn from. It is a boy named Trevor who is assigned a project in his Social Studies class. What ends up happening is people all across the United States pay it forward in their own way. At the end of the movie, Trevor dies of a stab wound while trying to break up a fight. People from all over the city come to pay their respects to him for what he accomplished. This movie alone can inspire anyone to do the same thing. Do a simple act such as helping someone with their groceries or opening the door. Others will see even though you do notice them watching. Simple acts go far without anyone truly knowing it.
   By being more  open minded, people can learn new things and the world would start becoming a better place. People would treat others with respect that is deserved and the environment better. Te world can be a better place by people simply being more open minded and less greedy. Furthermore, people doing things to benefit themselves, others and the earth is something that people are starting to notice and take action. It is this simple act that can set off a motion of other actions that will eventually lead to a better planet and life.
