If Everyone Cared Essay :)

If Everyone Cared!
            " As we lie beneath the stars, we realize how small we are, if they could love like you and me imagine what the world could be." In the song If Everyone Cared by Nickelback it gives a few good examples of what our world could be like if we changed the bad to the good. Here is a few lines that fit the meaning to a better world. If everyone cared and nobody cried. If everyone loved and nobody lied. If everyone shared and swallowed their pride.
            If everyone cared and nobody cried. Think about our world today; do we intentionally do things to hurt others? Do we cause pointless drama? Instead of helping we tend to take the route that makes us cool and gives us popularity.  We don't do what the right thing is. We're high school students and especially us girls we hurt each other all the time. We forget about people's feelings. If everyone cared, if everyone tried to be nice, if everyone was equal in each other's eyes think of what a better world it would be. Our tears could be tears of joy not hurtful tears.
            If everyone loved and nobody lied. Everybody loves the feeling of knowing that someone loves them. We like the warm fuzzies, and the happy thought that you love them and even better they love you back. In the song it says "If everyone could love like you and me imagine what the world could be." I really like this phrase I believe it is true. Love can change anyone sometimes for better or worse. For example what if we were friends with everyone.  If their gender, race, stereo-type, social rank, looks, or how they acted didn't matter. If we didn't judge, if we didn't choose friends based on the cool notes drama would be minimized, people would be happy, and there would be lots more smiling faces. It's pretty sad that all the points to this song are what ifs but it is true that's our world today. Oh what a world it really could be if we loved instead of lied.
            If everyone shared and swallowed their pride. Nobody can deny it we all have pride. Pride is usually used in not a good sense. We learn when we are little kids to share but does it travel with us to our teens, adults years, and elderly years? Mom always says share your toys with your siblings, and your friends. Do you share your toys today? Our toys may not be material toys but more of literal toys. Such as a smile, a hello, a how are you, an act of kindness, lending a hand, or simply just being there for one another.
            Put it in to a sense today. If everyone was always hurt and crying what a gray depressing life this could be. If we always lied who could you ever trust? Could you tell your friends that secret? If everyone was prideful and never shared with each other how crude this world would be.
            " As we lie beneath the stars, we realize how small we are, if they could love like you and me imagine what the world could be." In the song If Everyone Cared by Nickelback it gives a few good examples of what our world could be like if we changed the bad to the good. Here is a few lines that fit the meaning to a better world. If everyone cared and nobody cried. If everyone loved and nobody lied. If everyone shared and swallowed their pride. If we all jumped in and helped each other out. If we laughed instead of hurt each other. If we cried over happy things.  If we learned to love, to share, to be honest, to swallow our pride, to care for one another all of our pointless drama that seems so important may be solved. If only we could make the what ifs true statements.
