WORDS TO LIVE BY!

Our lives are in a state of constant flux.  No one knows what is real, we cannot determine our future based on the lack of knowledge that we have as a whole.

Our government speaks without listening.

They command without knowledge.

They act without forethought.

As we continue to work through the insurmountable rough times that we are challenged with today, we must find a way to get to the right answers.

We are a nation of people, different in nature and in styles. 

We are a nation of people, brought together by a journey in which we did not begin.

Our forefathers decided the best means, which were not always right, but we are here today.  We have fought the good wars; we have brought our families together as much as possible.  We are now threatened within our own fine lines and are divided by hatred and hostile natures.  

We as generations of past and generations of the future begin to embark on a continuing battle.  A battle that we have fought for centuries as those who believe they are better than others feel that they should rule the world.  

The fact is that those who live in this state of being are only prepared to deal with the life they lead.  Not the life we all want to lead.  

No one dreams of being homeless.

No one dreams of sleeping in the cold with no one to rely on.

No one dreams of waking up to nothing.

Where are we today?

We are on that course.  As much as we want to believe that we are the leaders of this great universe, we must concede that there is no one greater than the other.

We are a people of great power, which in turn convinces those who have, that they are the chosen. Where are we when the chosen believe that because they do not understand the trials and tribulations of one with nothing, they do not understand how to feel or choose to ignore the issues at hand.

I ask myself, if we are fed the same thing and reminded of the atrocities of the past, will we continue to take sides and debate as to who was right and who was wrong?  The answer is yes.  If we continue to show the atrocities of the past to the future, they will be seen and will not always be a reminder to some that it was the worst thing that could have ever happened.  We have people in this world today who believe that there was nothing better than those times.

We as a people teach our families the way we teach our animals.  If you are cruel and unloving, so does the child become, when you are racist and full of hatred, so do you instill that in your children.

We cannot change the world around us by reminding people of the way it was.  We can only initiate change when we can let go of the past and teach the future and what it could be. 

Seeing images of the past and the horrific treatment of people only prints that image in one’s head and can never be unseen.  Do we want to continue to provide our children with the views of our past?  Or do we move forward and show them the love that can be shared by each and every human on earth.

So, as we move forward with our lives and with the process of time, do we choose to teach new and exciting wonders?  Or do we choose to show the hurt and pain that was caused by some of our forefathers who didn’t have the sense to see that people were people and that no one should be treated differently because of the color of their skin, the educational status of their mind, or their monetary status in life.

We were given black presidents before presidents were presidents.  Our nations were run from the backs of a people who had no say in what they wanted or what they wanted to be.  A person that was found in a nation that was not their own doesn’t qualify to be one’s property.  Not then and certainly not now.  

When you breed hatred, you get hatred.   When you breed love, you get love.  Because no matter how you look at it, 

"LOVE BLINDS HATRED-HATRED BLINDS LOVE."

WE have yet to learn to let go of our forefathers' issues and hatred toward another person.  Why do we carry that over and hate for someone else?  Did we have the same encounter?  That answer is always, NO.  Why do we follow instead of leading our own lives?  Why do we hate simply because someone else says to?

This is why it is so important to look inside ourselves and answer your own questions.  Does one person’s view on life change mine so dramatically that I would follow someone else to effect the change they think is needed? Or will you look inside and effect the change you need for yourself?  If you have to choose a path or someone else's, you should always choose your own 

When will we, as a singular person, follow what our heart truly feels?  Do you believe that all the people that follow one person believe in everything that person believes in?  That is the answer that we as a people should be looking into ourselves to find the peace within.  

We talk ourselves into following something that sounds good when it gets started but you don’t realize the whole of their thought and what their true intention is.  

Believe in yourself as to what you believe, and you will be able to effect the change that you believe in. 

Should we murder one another because we don’t like someone?  Should we tear a people apart because of the color of their skin or what they believe in?  As a singular person what do you believe is right and wrong?
