First of all, I am pleased to have the time to write some more on my blog. I have not had as much time as I would like so I have not had any new material lately. I thought my words were falling on deaf ears until a recent conversation where my intelligence was insulted in my absence. However, I was pleased to know that they care so much to read my blog and let others know that it is something with substance that you could read.....
Now, I would like to say that it feels good to be back and understand that with life comes change. Although life is a change in progress, we at times get so consumed with the external aspects of change that we fail to realize what we should be changing internally to allow us to evolve as people ( as a society) and not just individually. Even though our external appearances is what most people will judge us by, it seems to me that the judging of individuals is based on bias and oh yes HATE. When i sit back and look at the issues that we are faced with as a community and not just as and individual, I can see why the hate has consumed so many people. I would not readily consider myself as one full of hate, but for a month or so, I analyzed my comments on certain issues and people ( particularly politicians and those in the spotlight) to realize that I too had some hate that was being released.
Furthermore this particular piece is about change and the hate that change brings. I could say that people don't change and they would always be the same if taken at face value. But wait a minute, that would mean that there is no way for a baby boy to be a man or even a baby girl to grow up to be a lady or even to change the mentality of the less than fortunate to gain ground in the business world or any facet of life that would add to their lives. I guess then this would also mean that there would be no need for rehabilitation centers and prison work release programs and even salvation. For if we are all the same as we are born or as we have lived through different stages in our life.... would we even need "Life Changing experiences" and or redemption.
Change is capable and real... however, there are so many individuals in my community and I can not speak for the world that have minuscule mentalities and can not overcome what they have seen in the past. I know that it is not always the case, but it is true what they say.... When you begin to do more in your life than what was expected, there will always be those people who HATE to see you evolve beyond their under developed mindset. I can relate to this... especially this. So often, we refuse to listen to anyone that does not fit the mold of someone looking educated or prosperous.... You think this may be the reason we can not move past slavery ... after all... if you can't change as a person over time, how can you lose the mentality of a slave. Perhaps that is why so many people I see are not only slaves to life ... but business, cars, women, etc. and the list goes on ... ... ... and on. Maybe this is the reason why when so many people look into the mirror, they cry or become consumed with the things about themselves that even they do not like. I can't say truly say ... but ( if you get mad when someone makes a general statement and you think they are fingering you... well you know). Maybe it is true .... since we can not change or do YOU truly believe that ... well it is an option believe what you want... but do not deny a man or woman the right to change... the change they make could save your life in the right situation....
but we do need to focus more on substance than eloquent speeches and tailored suites but that is another topic.

it was once said ....'Of life and men ... there is no difference .... only thing is man dies and life goes on'
Now we are feeling the pain for all of the years of following the free things and gurantees that have kept coming our way ... and as whole group no one ever bothered to think ...... why .... why .... why. Why continually we are given subsidies or even monetary gains for continuall contributing to the population without proper means to care for the seeds we have planted..... Perhaps so we can continue to drive the deteriorating family structure left from the turbulent pre-civil war society farther into non existance ... Truthfully the only way we receive a majority of these subsidies and handouts is if we are not united as a family. Now lets stop to think about that for a moment hmmmmmm................
