A Challenge

If you do not believe there is wool over your eyes, I have a challenge for you. I challenge you to look where you would never have looked before; at ideas you would never have allowed to be uttered in your presence before. I challenge you to look at these ideas from a neutral perspective.

Hold parties responsible, and if they are not trustworthy, do not trust them.

Perhaps We Miss The Point.

Perhaps the secret to life isn't the wisdom of the elders or the inspiration of the young. Perhaps it brings us once again to balance. For would not the elder who is inspired by the young be the wise one who was still breathing life? And is it not the young who lives with the wisdom of the elder who will be living when the others fall? And not to say falling by the terms of life and death, but rather by the terms of life and defeat. Mediocrity must remain the foe to be run from. Within any belief system, it is mediocrity that will destroy the person.

We battle because we cannot see that we work toward the same goals. We battle because we are put off by this or that. We battle not because of legitimate need, drawn from interaction. We battle because of a petty affliction drawn from within. I hate my fellow man, not for what he has done, but for how I have chosen to react to him before I even came into contact with him; with the truth. Selfish desire, insecurity, mistrust: these are the reasons we battle. These are the reasons for our restless toil, and does it not all stem from living out of balance? Even a slave has the opportunity to react to what happens, when we forfeit that opportunity is when we become a slave to these ever personal attributes: selfish desire, insecurity, mistrust.

I saw a post 2 days ago that said this:

"R.I.P. The 2976 American people that lost their lives on 9/11 and R.I.P. the 48,644 Afghan and 1,609,903 Iraqi and 35000 Pakistani people that paid the ultimate price for a crime they did not commit."
