The 6th HUPE in Storyland competition Ranking

The world craves color, it's proven, but let's not let it lose smile, positive, happiness and warmth. People who are stronger should be an example for those who are weaker. All people look for meaning in their lives and today more and more people are searching for it. But because of social media, there are no more people like that. But is that really true, or is technology just one big illusion and a trick that distances us from who we really are? If we look at pictures of our moms, dads, grandmas and grandpas today, we will see a smile, yes, a smile. That is one thing which is not seen on people's faces today and one thing we all miss at least little today. Without a smile, people are immediately more withdrawn. Imagine a street with a crowd of people calking down it, all with their heads bowed, without greeting or even a little smile to each other. And don't dare ask them why are they like that, because, if you don't know the answer, I do! A women will answer you: "I saw her with a better hairstyle and with prettier nails!", a man will say: "I saw him with better and more expensive car than mine!", or a child: " I saw him with better toys!" And if you ask them where they saw it, the answer will be: "ON AN APP!" These people have family at their home, they have friends at school and they are surrounded by people who care about them and don't care about better cars, nails and toys. All of us are surrounded by people like that, we just do not know they are like that because that women it the picture has a nicer house, better car, prettier husband and cutter baby. If that man at that picture was supposed to be yours, you would have found him, but he is not yours so let him go! God planned your life exactly as it was exactly what was created for you. Smile, friendship, smile, family, smile, togetherness, smile, success, smile, did I say smile? We totally forgot about it because we saw saw something we thought we were missing in our lives and with that one, wrong one look, we destroyed everything we needed. The color I mentioned at the beginning of this text has been lost because of us, because we crave modern things, they have no color, no soul, or anything that would make the world a better, prettier and funnier place to live. What does a black and white house represent? I would say it is a massive depressing image of dissatisfied people. Isn't it nicer to see a smiling grandmother enjoying her colorful, crumbling, funny house with her family than a busy women who brings new things from the store to her black, no soul, no color house because she saw that thing had a good reviews on the internet? I think it is. Why did we replace bicycles with some fast and expensive cars? Why we replaced nature with big skyscrapers? Why did we replacing humans with robots!? Are we humans now incompetent and being replaced by some random metal machines? Why did we replace smile with dissatisfaction? Will we ever see a robot smile at you? I don't think so. Now let's try to change that. Wear something colorful, put a colorful picture on your wall, buy colorful pillows, take a colorful picture and eat colorful food, because, you only live once. Put a smile at your face, hang out with friends, start a family and awake the child in you who dose not need expensive toys, clothes or the newest sneakers. You do not need anything expensive, new or modern, you only need one person who will always be there for you and a person who will tell you a story with a smile. And the story goes like this... A men appeared, seemingly a completely normal person, but if you look at him a little closer you will see something different. You can see that he is wearing a colorful T-shirt under his jacket, and when he looks at you, you will see something what you can't see everywhere, a smile appears on his face. And so, in the sea of sad and angry faces, you will see a smile that radiates so much positive. That different man came close to you and looked you in your eyes, at that moment, everything changes. The world regained color, the trees turned green, the flowers become more colorful, the people become happier, the buildings become lower and the cars become slower. Magic you think so? No, it was just one men, one different men, one men who had something different on his face, something new but old, something small but something gold. This man proved that differences are more important than something new and expensive. He proved that just one little smile is enough to brighten someone's day and bring back to life everything they've lost because of social media. That happy family, that fun with friends and that satisfaction with your own things without looking at your phones to see if someone else has something better or more beautiful. Or at least we think it's better and more beautiful. Don't look at other people's things, believe me, they are also not, satisfied with what they have. And they look at other people's things because they think they has everything better. That is the reason why they don't smile and why they walk with their heads bowed. What we all need the most is love. Friendly or with a partner, it doesn't really matter which. We miss all kinds of love. Parental, friendly, partner or some fourth. We have forgotten the importance of life because we are all competing to see who will have better car, house or clothes. Why wouldn't you be a the person who, with your presence, will bring into someone's life what they're missing? Why wont you be a smile that made a differences?
