The Real Me Is Truth and Love

When I look at my two year old it becomes easier and easier for me to realize what my New Year's Eve resolution should be.  You see, I want to  make the world a better place in which he can grow and thrive without having to suffer as much as we have made each other to suffer in our history of brother against brother, nation against nation, class against class, race against race. 


The laws of nature are pretty harsh, most creatures live in environments where they can just as easily become unsuspecting meal for a lurking prey.  It can be brutal out there for fish, insects, reptiles,as well as mammals in their natural habitat.  But most animals only strike if they feel threatened, they only kill in order to eat and survive


Human beings kill each other physically and that in itself is a crime against Nature for we are not meant to be cannibals and we don't kill each other in order to eat,

It is almost as if we kill each other in order to devour materials, to satisfy some greed, we are all hooked.  We kill one another so we can shine outwardly with blinking bling, made precious by the sanction of men who could never truly appreciate God's real beauty here on earth.  We kill each other so we can show off the latest, the most expensive, so we can say "Winning!"

We learn from experience, environment, family, friends,school, news,internet,gossip, stories,movies, music,dance, and books, we learn from each other, we infect each other with the negatives through these mediums.

The dream of the planet, the dream of our people will need to change, we will need to love one another, respect each other and put greed aside, respect humanity, appreciate the gift that is life, learn to take every breath for whats it is worth.  In the scheme of the universe human lives are relatively short lived.  Time was here long before us and time will be here long after we are gone.  We need to learn to enjoy life, in reality that is the most precious gift we have, a moment in time.


Any change I want to see has to begin with me, I can't just talk the talk or write it, I will have to walk the walk.  The road less traveled has just gained one more traveler, this is for you baby boy, my gift, my blessing, a light that always helps me find my way, if only I choose to look.
