Why What I Write Matters...

TO INCITE – TO CALM – IT’S THE SAME - words MATTER!


   In this Wide World we live in, there are Nations of "People" that have tried to come together for reasons of inclusion, and yes, there are times when different Nations have come together for reasons of exclusion. 

   But, through “Social Media” and Global Interaction it is obvious the "People" of the World have no factual issues with each other, just real Ignorance of each other. Conflict, between Nations has never been because the "People" of those different Nations could not talk with each other. 

   It is the World "Leaders" who only find resolution in conflict and confrontation, the "Problem" it seems to me, is that the "People" of the different Nations of the World do “All” the suffering.    

   All "People" around the World are dealing with life as it pertains to where they live, and All "People" are going through their own personal/individual issues. The desire to do better and to have more is universal. 

   The need to have good health, a good healthcare provider, affordable housing, a good education, and a safe neighborhood to watch our children grow up safe in, are all needs and desires that everyone wants. 

   Simply because these things effect everyone the exact same way!     

   Which is why a certain level of understanding and compassion should go well beyond any personal, individual feelings if you are that person(s) who makes the final decisions on what the reader/people must go by to better understand, comprehend, and move forward. 

   It is clear throughout the history of this World, that unfortunately "People" are going to struggle and suffer "Unnecessarily".     

   We all have basic needs and deal with real problems that many of us have in common. We all have different issues within our different communities, with different diverse neighborhoods and families within our society inside these United States of America. 

   I believe the many problems we face in our society in these United States of America have shown to be similar problems people in general deal with Worldwide.    

   Know what the common theme to these problems are? It is the misuse of the words we at times carelessly share with each other, that in many cases words rooted in Our "Ignorance" of each other. 

   Whether spoken or read or written, there have been too many times throughout "History", words are Weaponized against People. 

   Sometimes with lies! Sometimes with deceit! Sometimes just bad people doing terrible things, using Our “Ignorance" against Us!    

   The problem really does start, with our own self "Ignorance", then ignorance of each other. In so many ways this fact has come full circle, Ignorance has harmed our Neighborhoods and the People in it. 

   We are all affected by something, and if you consider what our Elected "Leaders" argue about, I am wondering if they are still in high school? Wonder Twins Unite! PLEASE! Republicans/Democrats!    




   We have now successfully tainted esteemed establishments of authority, the institutions of higher learning have long been de-valued, so that means we are sending our kids in droves to their Formal Education demise. 

   But if that isn't enough, we have now alienated the community from the teachers in the school, the nurses, and doctors in the hospital, to go along with the police in the streets, as well as key Federal Agencies.    

   As we have made "Progress" as a country, some individual people have progressed in different ways at a much different rate and pace than others. 

   The fact is that Americans in general have thrived here in these United States of America because of created opportunities, granted there are some opportunities only a few are able to get or see, but there are plenty of opportunities many are able to and have benefited from.    

   If we could just realize that We All are capable in a general sense, and that if individually "You" conclude “Your” self-worth goes with “You” as you walk no matter where your steps take you, then the “Possibilities” become endless.    

   Then you begin to understand that standing on the mountain top, is no different than walking through the valley and looking up and “Knowing,” it is just a matter of time before "I am standing where I “Should” be standing".

   The truth is, some people do find their way before others, but it really does begin for Everyone with "Understanding".    

   "Sometimes to become a better person and move from the spot you're in, "You" might have to accept some extremely uncomfortable truths, as well as some unfortunate truths about "Yourself", which is why “Words of Inspiration” are so vital in the most trying times… so to the “People” of the World: SALUTE!

 "EACH FACE OF COLOR HAS A HISTORY!

    EACH HISTORY OF COLOR HAS ITS OWN FACE! 

      LEARN THE BEAUTY OF EACH FACE! 

        UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF EACH COLOR!                           

THEN APPRECIATE - THE BEAUTY OF GOD'S WORK - THAT IS WITHIN EACH OF US..."
