In ancient times men battled in large arenas providing a huge spectacle of violence and death. Who would think today we face the same barbaric display, albeit by other fashion. There most certainly is something wrong with the world today.
When politicians are elected in spite of their dishonesty and moral and ethical failings. When those same politicians take food, medicine, housing, rights from the weakest amongst us. When good people jump into that arena in rage.
The struggle has never been a war. It is simply right and wrong. There is no war of ideologies. There is no war period! There is however an abundance of selfishness and greed. Toss in an unhealthy dose of self importance.
We have so many problems and as I have written for some time now the answer is and always has been love. It is simply up to you to overcome your self imposed limitations. Pain, upset, anger... realize all those are the expressions of things wrought unto your life.
The challenge, the struggle, is to overcome and love rather than lash out. We may fall at times but if we love we can again stand. There is no greater pride than standing in love.
Confront the wrongs in the world. Do so with love. We all falter and we all hurt. Let us not add any more. It is time to heal.
So now you know what the arena is. That vile pit where some in their own hurt, pain, selfishness, and self importance seek to draw you into in order to bring you down to their level. Just a warning, never go in. For it is a pit of vipers and their bites will linger long and painfully upon your flesh.
Confront the wrong, confront the pains. Stand and defy those who dare introduce an arena. As a community we most notably know about hiding. We should be able to spot those who hide things in the guise of vicious debate and personal berating.
Anyone who would tear you down and not help you rebuild or heal deserves nothing from you but defiance. Let them know in no uncertain terms NO! No you will not stand for their vile actions and their war against anyone who does not benefit them.
Go in peace. Go in love. Go with surety.
The world is ours and it always has been. All of ours! The time of anyone being ignored, hurt, abused, or even murdered is done. Do not allow ancient gladiators to drag you back to a time when pain was acceptable and not everyone mattered.
It is a big world with countless peoples all with different lives and ideas. We all matter and we all deserve love. We all deserve peace. Equality, dignity, respect, compassion, and love are! They are not a thing for debate, legislation, or voting.
One day we will have our day in the sun. Nothing to hide. Just the warm bask of a bright day where no monsters hide in wait and the warmth of love lets us know the only struggle is within ourselves.
Overcome and stand. It has been to long a night. And love has to long waited
Ignore the arena in your life. Justice is the answer not the fight. If the clothing of justice is love then no one wants.
Love is Never Wrong!
