I
do understand that there is great frustration and anger about things
that are going on. Anger on both sides. I wonder, how many are really
talking or listening to the other. People are dying, some innocent, some
not. The Police are more prone to shoot first now, and ask questions
later. Why? Because so many of them are being shot. If, you want the
Police to stop being so quick to shoot, stop shooting them. Yeah, that's
much too simplistic I know. But its a start. Yes, I know that there are
some bad cops mixed in with the good. That is true in everything.
We
need to stop the madness on all side. We need to stop, take a breath,
sit down somewhere and talk. Calmly. All of the shouting needs to be
over with. All of the mob mentality, needs to stop.
If
you want positive change, really want positive change, it begins with
you. It begins with me. It begins with each individual who must stop the
hate, stop the ignorance, stop the us against them mentality.
We
need to better educate ourselves. Make sure that our children get a
good education. Make sure they stay in school. Make sure they understand
the importance of a good education and furthering that education.
Motivate them. Make them hungry for better, the right way. No matter if
you are black, white, Hispanic, Native American, or any other
nationality. A good education is a first step toward change.
Get
a job. Don't be picky, be a starter. Be determined that you are going
to better yourself, in the process, you better the community around you.
If you can't find anyone to hire you, become an entrepreneur. Learn to
do landscape work, learn carpentry, learn handyman work, learn the best
ways to do scrap metal/ salvage work. As you learn, as you earn, move
upward. Keep educating yourself, keep improving what you do. Become in
demand for what you do.
Take
the time to help out in the community. Take time to work with the
children, to help the homeless and hungry. Work in food kitchens or
shelters. Help your neighbors with their needs. Show that you are
determined to bring about that positive change. The right way.
Adjust
your attitude. Throw away those racist, ugly, phobic, discriminatory
ideas about others and take time to get to know them. We can all get
along, if we try. We aren't really that different. We all breathe
oxygen, we all must eat, we all bleed red, we all have a heart. Yes,
there are differences, both if we take time to understand, we can take
those differences and build on them to create and bring about that
positive change. We can. If we try. If we stop the madness, stop the
insanity, stop the hate, stop.... just stop...and talk. It can begin, by
answering a few questions.
