A person can go thought life with a disregard for others, this does not mean they wish harm on anyone it just means they give little thought for others often because they are caught up in there own world.
That is until of course they find some one or something to correct them, for me I have many but would like to start with the one who I hope has the most impact on my character and that is a photographer called Kevin Carter.
Tragically Kevin committed suicide in 1994 so why do I say he is one of my bearings.
Simply put because of one of his photographs it is so well know you probably don’t know he took it.
The photo is so powerful so soul destroying so heart destroying. So anger inducing that I can not understand how someone cannot be moved by it
The photo is of a beautiful child in Africa ravaged by famine curled up on the ground with his or hers head laying on an arm while a vulture looks on in the background.
I have that picture and I force myself to look at it every day and I mean force as it’s so emotionally inducing that it’s not easy. I look at it then I look at myself and go stop your whining stop your negativity get out there and succeed there are so many people worse of than you who would give anything to be in your position so stop feeling bad about yourself and if you do think of me then realise you are a whiner and change.
This is like a building block it sets me going in the right direction it empowers me it gives me the frame of mind to succeed the best I can because of it I feel I have let that beautiful person down It feels like I have let there hopes there aspersions down and if I can help it it’s not something I want to do.
But as a very human human I cannot always live up to that sometimes I get confused on which way to go
