Try

I believe in Jehovah Jireh

I believe in heaven, I believe in war

I believe a woman's temple

Gives her the right to choose but baby don't abort

I believe that marriage isn't

Between a man and woman but between love and love

And I believe you when you say you've lost all faith

But you most believe in something, something, something

You gotta believe in something, something, something

Lemme firstly say that I am far from a Frank Ocean fan, but when this cover was played for me it stirred me; made me want to listen and I as I listened the lyrics stood out. 

The song talks about beliefs and disbeliefs and most importantly trying.

I gather that he doesn't outright believe that humans are outright wicked, evil but that there is good in all of us and we have to try in order to allow the good to prevail.

That is easier said than done.

Someone pisses you off, isn't just easier to tell them off?

You found out this one chick talked mad trash about you, rather than confront her you do her the same service.

Your boy 'effed' that chick while you two were dating so you repay the favour.

Does any of those things display maturity, a level head or any type of understanding? No they don't.

We've all at one point or another become disillusioned. Remember having the greatest hopes or optimism for life?

Remember in church when the pastor made you believe God would smite you if you didn't pray before each meal. Or when you swore mom and dad would be together forever. Those were your beliefs.

Your faith was unshakeable, only Jesus himself could have told you otherwise, then as you grew you met this thing called reality and it set in. Your optimism faded and you became jaded. 

Its time to wipe the fish scales from your eyes, walk down that yellow brick road and restore your faith in humankind.

No one is perfect and we can all attest to that. We as humans fall short, we are fallible.

We however should try: 

Try to be better, do better, if the negativity comes so easily take a deep breath; a step back or just bite your tongue. Not every battle is worth going to war.

Don't be a floor mat for anybody but aim to be slow to anger, practice makes perfect.

I could sit here and preach all day but I surely do not live a perfect life, no one does.

All I'm suggesting is that we all try, make some sort of effort. 

What goes around comes around and if Richie Spice was right and the world is a circle then pay it forward and #playitforward and the world will be a much better place.
