As I reflect on the event at the Capitol, I believe it is your duty and right as a citizen of your country and state to challenge the wrongs of your government. Foolish as their attempt was, they chose the Capital building in lieu of the White House. This shows that it was a stunt rather than an actual challenge against the country. Well.. This might be fair in individual States for control and demand, it also shows they have no real conviction.
Why march at all of you’re not going all the way. I applaud the movement but not their purpose; even then, a real revolution begins in the church.
Marching is for armies, protesters are not ready to die for their cause. They may say so but the man driven by god and country will march into the devils den and fight tooth and nail. Protesters are civilians, all they know is that they are unhappy and think “It worked for them”. To make a difference as a civilian you must act as a self educated, free thinking civilian.
I watch the news media and how they painted this dark image of Portland but in the grand scheme of things, it was a petty disturbance, fueled by outside influence. So they defaced property and broke windows… that’s nothing but using race to sway an election, this is a moral challenge for us all but we choose to make fools of ourselves and if you’re too blind to see that we were all duped… you’re just as foolish as I am and this random speech.
Now. What you’ve done is given voice to an old enemy and hurt citizens of this country for all your whining. Many think they are traumatized but it will never compare to the years of suffering and constant reminders that we are looked down upon as people, regardless of our achievements.
Does the “system” need an overhaul? Yes it does. Do police have a skewed view of their responsibility? Yes they do. But you can change that, you can also change who you are and those around you but if you believe you are only worth the video game that holds your attention or your only desire is to make more money and be better than someone else.. You’ve already lost your way.
You could stop the world from turning if you just stopped moving.
Anyways… I’m just a fool trying to make my way in this life. nothing I’ve written will make any sense to you, nor should it, because its my impossible dream and in this dream I am, many holy men. We are monks of every religious and spiritual order and we all sit in meditation, leading by example.
If you cannot sit with me, you cannot fight for or with me.
**
These words of mine are of a foolish dreamer but how bigger fool are you, not to want to see something more beautiful.
I challenge you to change your mind, to raise your spirit and be the god men and women that you can be.
