We think too much and heal too little.

I saw this video on my facebook feed and it really touched my heart. The world in which we live in is really in trouble but there doesn't seem to be enough people who want to do anything about it. In America alone, we debate about whether or not we need gun control but do not worry about the millions of children who are starving each other. We do not concern ourselves with the man who has less than us but are focused on what we have, what we deserve, what we are entitled to and quite frankly I am sickened. it would be great to find a way where peace and happiness was all we really knew.

But in order to do that someone must be sacrificed right? I mean think about the debate about same sex marriages. Conservative Christians say it takes away from the sanctity of marriage in God's eyes but what do the Jewish, Muslims, and even the Atheist have to say. Isn't that why we created the separation of Church and State?? Why does it seem like our law makers are able to use God whenever He backs up a principle they want to fight but God is ignored when it comes to the way you treat your constituents. I understand the conflict - the internal conflict these men feel but damn can we get one person who has power and isn't afraid to use it to do what is right in his eyes. I want a President who doesn't just preach what the majority wants, I want a man (or woman) to say, you know what "I do not think Gays should be married" and then stick by that.

But no we cannot have that because your opinions, your beliefs, your wants will crucify you. It's okay for a man to protest a chick-fil-a because of the discrimination of gays, and not even the discrimination right?? I mean the man just said he would not support them. So lets protest and fight until we destroy the business. Forget the millions who will lose their jobs. What you are saying is, if your opinion and your views are different than that of me, you deserve to have nothing. But it is okay for you to have opinions that is different than that of the majority. I'm just saying.

At what point do we draw the line. When do we allow people to have their opinions and thoughts. As long as you aren't hurting nobody. You aren't firing all your gay employees. So what is the problem. I am off topic now... And for most it is probably pretty shocking that I even have these thoughts. Me the gay rights supporter. It's crazy right. I guess I am fighting my own personal demons with that one.

Anyways, I wish we as a Universe we can find away to get to the very principles in this video. To find a way to live off of each others happiness and not misery. To unite across the world just to be happy and live together enjoying the wonders of the earth. To return power to the people and create oneness. That is a bigger ideal than apparently anyone can ever fathom. And that alone is sad...

You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful.... Let us all unite!!

The beginning and new age thinking...

From a balance of new beginnings and expired expectations, I welcome myself back to the world of blogging. I have erased everything I have said and done from here and want to begin again. Why? Because I am a new person. I have new ideals, focus and priorities. I have changed my care free self into someone wanting more change in the world. Why now? I don't really know. I am sort of just fed up with things as they happen to me and want to be a part of what is happening around me. Love, Life, Politics, Relationships and everything that happens in between - I want to be a part of all of it before it becomes too late to change it. Starting today. With this sudden political focus on racial discrimination.

From the sociological point of view I believe that racism is often (not always) perpetuated by that of the minority figure. What I mean by that is very simple to understand: those of a minority race cannot say that the majority race targets one without hitting another. We can not say that property tax being increased in a neighborhood is directed to target the African-Americans and Hispanics without believing that the whites are also impacted. From the mathematical stand point, you can not say a proof is true if you can not prove the converse. Meaning whites cannot say that eliminating welfare and other public assistance programs will control the minority populations without knowing that the whites are also part of the problem.

We are in an age where the face of poverty has changed. It is not the minority, young mothers with no jobs, but it extends to that of the elderly whites, the nuclear families and the former "middle class". With that being said, the government is not (in my sole opinion) targeting that of the minority but they are targeting America. Every American citizen below the top two percent of the bell curve. As a member of the minority population, it would be foolish for me to rest on the fact that it is because I am of a certain race. We, the American People, members of the minorities (racial, sexual and gender wise) must make it a priority to get what we deserve. Educate ourselves on what is happening now and actually consider how we can make a difference in the future. Just because you only have $5 to put away today, does not mean you can not assist in cancelling a generational curse and create a new class and generation of greatness.

The term "Old Money" rings in my head, as we ignore the fact that the majority of the highest class of people, were members of the highest class of people before they were ever conceived. The wealth may have been exclusive to certain classes at that time but what seeds are we sowing into the future? Will old money continue to belong to one handful of look a likes or will we stop using our money for here and now ignoring the future of our off-spring. How much of your tax-refund did you invest? Did you start a savings, invest in upgrades on your home, or buy a big vacation.

Okay now all of these thoughts are just scrambling together. But what I have decided is I will not allow my child to use her race as an excuse for the lack of success. She will not perpetuate racism in this country.
