I believe in a lot of things. Some things that are, some things I'm not sure ever existed and some things that are right before my eyes as we speak. Some people believe in God, others believe in themselves and it is not my place to tell them otherwise. -But what I do believe in, strongly and 100%, is Good.
Yes, I believe in the Good in people. As should you. Believe in Good! These are words that must stick clear and true so as to command their ascent within your hearts, lives and surroundings. They must be known and they must be there for you to move forward. -Today, it is you who move forward, and you who must maintain this belief. No matter your race, ethnicity, gender, views, God, or lack thereof, I only ask that you keep this one. Yes, life isn't going to be sunshine and rainbows all the time. Yes, you will seek reasons, evidence and conjure up the wildest of explanations as to why life acts as it does towards you. When it goes well, or ill, you might say "luck", when you see others affected by it, you may think "karma", and your mind will do its best to provide answers when none are given. When friends become foes and the souls you thought would always be there to accompany you on this journey depart. Sometimes it takes the building to collapse before you can discover how to fix the foundation really was. Amongst the iron, steel and concrete of your greatest creations and accomplishments, they all turn to paper without good.
And how long can you truly be happy in a house of paper?
There was a period of time in my life, where I spent every night wondering what I was here for. I spent every moment trying to justify life and why it mattered. And as I stand up here, addressing a sea of minds, each one, more brilliant and accomplished then I was in my college career, *chuckles*, I can safely say that if just one of you heeds my words and believes in your fellow man, it was all worth it. You should be proud and you should be congratulated. This is your day. Not mine. Just remember, before all other things, believe in yourself. And believe in Good. I promise you, the rest will follow.
