Symbolism in America

It saddens me that a racist pig went into a church to kill innocent people. A church in Charleston, SC was massacred by a stupid racist.






Stupidity is the lack of common sense and intelligence to do the right the thing according to the fallible laws of man and the law of GOD.






Now that the massacre is widespread, stupidity is amassing. The confederate flag has been deemed "racist". Our South Carolina governor, Nikki Haley, is feeling the heat from the stupid-cratic party to take down the flag.






The flag is a part of American history. Why must people hang on the past of slavery and racism? We should learn from our darkened history to move forward. Progress is retarded based on the few people who refuse to move forward and embrace equality.






Racism and prejudice will always be among us. The KKK is a prime example of a Neanderthal belief system. Hitler may have reigned, he was short lived by those who refuse to give up. Hitler crashed and burned by his own single minded hatred.






Politics are high school cliques.






Please stop putting so much into a symbol. Words mean more than anything. It is time to heal. People should embrace those that need a hand to hold on to and a shoulder to cry on.






Sometimes, I wonder where this country is headed!

Soulful thoughts: life ain't always beautiful

When we were children, everything seems forever. It is the mirage of our youthful naiveté. It is our lack of understanding how reality really works. As adults, we gain the knowledge of the tree of life and all its intertwined branches. Learning and wisdom comes from all the roads we cross over in this life, as we know it. Most of us gain this wisdom in becoming sages. Some of us are along for the ride. While others struggle, just to survive. I have been at many crossroads, yet struggle to survive all the while want to enjoy the ride. 

The wisdom that has passed on is somewhere deep in my soulful heart that beats with everything I have to offer. Yet, I have no takers. This yet-to-be sage has yearning that no one can quench. Just point me in the right direction. Let me be the sponge that I am (to soak up life’s wisdom). I am not done with my learning. 

There have been times when I have forgotten something that mama said. I turn to ask what it was only to find no one there. I miss her. She was the other half of my parental unit. I have a lot of should haves and not enough paying attention.  

Love is unconditional; yet we label, use, abuse it as if it were alcohol. Love comes in many forms such as family, friends, animals, spouses, and many others.  I enjoy having friendships. I enjoy having talks of life and wisdom. Why is it hard for some people to open up? Sometimes I feel the dam pushed to the brink of a conversational flood.  

Friendship is not always about gabbing, gossip, and activities. Friendship can be hanging out with someone is silence enjoying each others presence. 

Humans are social creatures of love and warfare. I see that we are divided by this distinction. Will warfare be our extinction? Quite possibly.
