I was trying to think of a subject to write about today and it hit me like a ton of bricks, talk about trying to find your way to make a new blog.
I've been sitting here for over twenty minutes trying to open the door to my blog page to write my thoughts out.
Finally I understood the instructions.
Ha ha no I didn't. I got lucky and clicked on my profile and read how to make a new post. So here I am.
Since I did all this explaining my post is going to be relatively short. But my thoughts today are how we as a people have lost our voice and have let our so-called leaders in this country influence us into thoughts and actions we know to be detrimental to everything we were taught as children.
We have lost our respect for each other's way and ideas. It's a me me me thing now. If it isn't helping me, I am definitely not helping you.
And the bad part is we try to make it racial, when it's actually about being selfish and selfless.
I understand, maybe this is not what most of you want to hear or talk about, but it's real and we're all a part of the problem.
For sure the saying, "if you're not a part of the solution, then you're a part of the problem", rings so true in this 21st century.
What was so good about the "good old days", was about the respect we carried for one another.
Everyone is so hung up on the negative side of life, we've forgotten how to live the positive we were taught. And we search for the very thing that's been in us since our early years. "Respect"
Respect for ourselves and respect for others. We don't have to like everyone we meet, but we do have to respect the people we meet until we find that respect is not deserved.
Open up a dialog about what you think we should look for within ourselves as we look for the inner workings of others.
Make sure you come to this site willing to stand for what you believe and let's make some noise about the positive.
Looking forward to see you sometime soon. I'm all eyes.
Oh, I mean that literally. I have big brown eyes. :))
Ronald,
ReplyDeleteI am here to stand my ground...lol. Seriously! What really happen to respect and self worth? No one really cares too much about thy neighbors or what family is all about. Everyone is so keen on what material values they can achieve in life, instead; they need to look around and take a step back and simply see what life really is. It's about the simple things in life that makes it worth while and it is more about the thoughts that counts and not all the money in the world.
Deception and lies truly blind this world of what is truly the meaning of who we are and what we are to others. Everyone is always trying to play themselves to be someone that they are not. Why is that, be humble and happy for who you are and what people see you to be. You can only change yourself for the better and not for others to change you. Influence is really a bad thing all around the world. That where all the great leaders fall because they did not believe in themselves.
I hope that you can understand where I am coming from? A failed marriage, lack of respect for being a single mom in a cultural society and no support from loved ones can really discourage one's spirit. But that doesn't stop me from trying my best to achieve a better life and job. Thanks for allowing me to vent a little. My best regards!
