The 2zpoint view on Racism

In regard to the subject of racism,It always seems like  people either avoid the  subject like a cemetery at midnight or seek to fight and hurt others over it. People wear their feelings on their sleeves because of inequalities that they see the other side has or they don’t want someone else of another race out doing them or making them feel inadequate.

Let me clarify something here…just like high school most people say that they were picked on, bullied, or made fun of in some way or other, some overcame that issue, others crumbled under the weight of that same set of problems. This is not high school any longer, yet the same games are being played. Now, it is not “He/She wears better clothes than me” or “He/She is skinnier than me” . It is “he/she has more than me” or “he/she gets paid more than I ever will”. The same thing all over again (call it what you will). The seven deadly sins Greed, Lust, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony,Wrath, and Pride consume us all and then we seek to blame others for our own problems.

I seek to inspire others to pursue their dreams because you had better believe that I am! I want everyone to be able to do so…there is more than enough to go around for every one and all it takes is all you’ve  got. Give others love and respect, work toward your dreams, communicate your problems getting to your goals, and don’t stop till you get there. It seems simple on paper, it is not easy and I know it, but I have faith that every thing is done in perfect time (not necessarily our time). If you pursue your dreams, with all you’ve got,  you will succeed or realize that it was not what you truly wanted. People don’t have to rely on what others are saying or doing, inspirational success stories are all around us. As long as you can imagine something, and do what is necessary to achieve it, you can do it!…it is that simple.

Words said out of hate can not stop actions done in the name of love…actions done with passion. If you let a word define you, cut you… ‘deeper than a wound’ as I’ve heard it said. You can count on that cut dragging you to hell because of foolish pride and possibly other sins that try to bind you. It is amazing to me to realize the power that cutting words can have over people. I ask you to reach within yourself and find that life defining love that will hold on to a dream and have enough love to realize most people do not wish to harm you. Seek to have the same love that small children have because they don’t try to be mean to each other when they play…they just play with each other and have fun because the don’t know any better. I ask you could it be that we know too much for our own good? In my heart I believe we do.

I have said my piece and this is my point of view. It is not something open for debate please understand that this is just my view point…on my blog. May those who think differently tell their view on their own site. Peace be with you.
