Being Mad Research Paper

Reflecting on the year, 2016, my one word for it would have to be “mad”. Looking at social media posts, and listening to people around me, it seems apparent that Every Single One of Us just seemed so “mad”, about Every Single Thing. “Mad” in the terms of angry. Anger is the most negative force: When in action, and in dominance against the good in this world, it is dividing.

My 2017 wish, for all of us, is to remember the madness, and all it has taught us, and practice the turn-around of that mad force within us; and to make the active choice to give and show, and receive, “mad” love. We are one “mad” human race, and if we choose to, we can interact with mad love to unify that force. Together, we are more powerful than a year, composed of only 365 days. So, tonight, let’s give one “mad”, passionate, and crazy kiss goodbye to 2016, and thank it for all it has showed us. Let’s move on to 2017 and welcome it, together, and take with us some “mad” crazy love, for all that we have in this
