Whats Wrong With The World

Whats Wrong With The World

It's almost impossible to watch or listen to any media without hearing all the bad stuff that's going on in the USA and around the world. It takes effort to keep a positive attitude. The song below says it all.

For some of us the only way is to stop watching the news or listening to the radio. For some of us we have to avoid people who keep bring the subject up. The only way I've found to stay positive in a negative world is to love unconditionally. 

That means loving yourself, loving the people around you and even loving the people who are doing wrong. I know that sounds like bullshit, but if you love yourself, if you put your happiness in first position, hating the bad people in this world will never benefit YOU. Getting depressed over the ugliness being broadcasted will never benefit YOU.

The answer has to be finding the love.

Where is the love

Written and performed by the

BLACK EYED PEAS

What's wrong with the world, mama?

People livin' like they ain't got no mamas

I think the whole world's addicted to the drama

Only attracted to things that'll bring the trauma

Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism

But we still got terrorists here livin'

In the U.S.A., the big C.I.A.

The bloods and the crips and the K.K.K.

But, if you only have love for your own race

Then you only leave space to discriminate

And to discriminate only generates hate

And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah

Badness is what you demonstrate

And that's exactly how anger works and operates

Man you gotta have love just to set it straight

Take control of your mind and meditate

Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin'

Children hurt and hear them cryin'?

Can you practice what you preach?

And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us

Send us some guidance from above

'Cause people got me, got me questionin'

Where is the love?

(Love)

Where is the love?

(The love)

It just ain't the same, always unchanged

New days are strange, is the world insane

If love and peace are so strong

Why are there pieces of love that don't belong?

Nations droppin' bombs

Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones

With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young

So, ask yourself is the lovin' really gone?

So, I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong

In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'

Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends

Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother

A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover

The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug

If you never know truth then you never know love

Where's the love, y'all, come on

(I don't know)

Where's the truth, y'all, come on

(I don't know)

Where's the love, y'all

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder

As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder

Most of us only care about money makin'

Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the media

Negative images is the main criteria

Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria

Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema

Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity

Whatever happened to the fairness and equality

Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity

Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down

There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under

Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found

And ask yourself

Where is the love?

Where is the love?

Father, Father, Father help us

Send us some guidance from above

'Cause people got me, got me questionin'

Where is the love?

Sing wit my ya'll

(One world, one world)

We only got

(One world, one world)

That's all we got

(One world, one world)

And somethin's wrong wit it

(Yeah)

Somethin's wrong wit it

(Yeah)

Somethin's wrong wit world world world yeah

We only got

(One world, one world)

That's all we got

(One world, one world)
