Truth

 I just came across someone saying the era of truth on the internet is over. Interesting...  I'll tell you all a truth.  The only question is will you read? Better yet will you change it?

 

Truth:  Today it is said we can not feed everyone. We simply don't have the resources.

 

So lets say 100 people in your town need food. Can we go to a market, store, or grocery and buy enough to feed 100?

Yes, we can.

 

Is there any way to distribute said food to those who need it? Are people and organizations already in place to help?

Yes there is.

 

Is there enough money to purchase this food for people?

Yes!

 

Regardless of being LGBT or not people in the world are going without. Not from lack of supplies. infrastructure, or money. So why do we have this problem?

 

Will, ego, manipulation... Call it what you will. It became acceptable to deny people. 

 

They are not me. I don't agree with them or their lives. I help my own. They are disgusting. So many lines and excuse' are spoken. Yet all I see is people. 

It does no matter if you are left or right. You could be rich or poor. The color of your skin, the language you speak, or even where you come from is irrelevant.  What truly matters?

 

There is a person or people before you in need of food. They are hungry. What else matters?  You can debate this or that, you can throw many plans into the air and delay. But I ask you what matters most?

 

To me I see only people who are hungry. Feed them. Can we save everyone? No, but we can try, one step at a time. 

 

So back to my question. There is enough food, people to help, and money to provide. Will you read this and make a difference? There is no debate. People are there. The resources are there. Do you have the will to make it go away?

 

  Yes it is that simple. It is people who make it difficult or stop it. I am not judging. It is merely me pointing out we can fix this. Why haven't we?

 

There we go, one truth.

 

 

Love is Never Wrong! 

 

Dignity

 It amazes me how some people, after all this time, still can not see what really matters. The issue is not how much we have, but what we don't.  You can argue the glass full or half empty all day long. However much water we have is irrelevant when someone comes and spits in your glass. 

We all deserve to drink forth from a fresh clean spring. This is not a privilege. This is a right.  Everyone has the right to their beliefs but not the lives of others. 

Dignity only begins when we see everyone as human. Everyone matters and everyone has the right to exist. Existence must be worth living, must have value and purpose. 

You can disagree. You can look away. You can choose not to interact. However; you can not deny existence, life, or liberty.  

When you assign a value to life you have already diminished something priceless. No Human is worthless. Value applies to all and is never negotiable. 

Until we agree that everyone should get what they need there is no dignity or life There is only pain, sorrow, and suffering. Have we not bled enough to pay for every inch of the Earth? 

Dignity begins in equality and respect. Those require trust and love. If we can not extend such there is no life, no dignity, and no hope.

This world, our world, has bounty enough for all. It has a place for all. The only limitation to that is us. We must love even when difficult.  

Dignity cost you nothing. It only removes the price tag!

One Light in the Darkness

 There are many times in Human history when the actions of a few can change the very destiny of life. I do think one of those times is now. No one person or group has all the answers. However allow me to offer some clarity on a topic of note. 

Religious freedom is a very important value that should be upheld by law. It is a personal right, not a group one. This must be understood.

Any individual is entitled to follow the spiritual or religious views they hold dear. This right: however, extends only to you. The misguided belief that society must follow your belief is incorrect. We are a people made up of many.

The multitude of us may be of different ethnic, cultural, and religious origins.  There is enough room for all to be who they choose and follow their hearts. When we choose to serve only some we choose to deny others their freedom. 

I know there are many here in  the U.S. and around the world who seek to define their societies by religious views. Society is not a theocracy. Society is Human!  We are all different and we are all free. The first path into darkness is to take away the freedom of others. 

When you begin to deny others you begin to hurt. You begin to hurt others. You begin to hurt yourself.  Just as assuredly as you seek to bring your will across society you open up others to bring their will unto you. 

There is an old saying if you take an eye for an eye, soon enough the whole world is blind. We must value, lift up, and love all.  It is a sacred tenet.  Only then do we see others as equals. Only then do we see value. 

Religious freedom is and always has been personal. Freedom of religion must also include freedom from it. For all people must come to God on their own. If they choose not, that to is their choice. 

The argument that society is falling apart due to change is misguided. The truth is people have for to long become lax on their own principles. If you see failings first look upon yourself. We did not get here alone. 

The Human journey is about all of us. If you find value in your beliefs and you uphold them, live them, others may find value as well. Failing to embrace, maintain, and live a belief system is not an excuse to dictate to others. The only way to win religious freedom is to make it valuable.

If you do not value the whole you value no one. If you value no one I mourn you. Living in darkness is a painful and scary place. Good things and good people get lost. 

I find it funny just as in Lord of the Rings, the beacons must be lit. We stand against the darkness, each a beacon. I have raised my beacon this day. Will you honor the call? Will stand against religious hate. Will stand against atheist hate? Will you stand against groups and laws that hurt? 

We are all one regardless of how some tell you it is us vs. them. We are all valuable. We are all deserving of love. Gather in the light and tell your story. Only then do we see one another. Only then do we hear each other. 

One light now stands in the darkness. I know many others are out there. Let's see if we bring the world into day.

Love is Never Wrong!

Wanderings

 Hmmm...  U.S. Constitution,  Article 4, Section 2

The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.

 

 

 

The Greatest

 Someone reminded me maybe I should say something in the current times.  I am tired of our vivid colors being muted grey.  I am tired of senseless death, simply because we exist. I am tired of being told we are less than. 

No more! We are the greatest because of who we are. All people regardless of gender, color, ethnicity, and even identity are great. It is those who can not stand the colors who are not. I am a rainbow and I'm going to light up the sky. 

Even if I go grey I hope the diamond that is my soul splits the very Earth and the colors springs forth dazzling the world!

Love is Never Wrong!

Purges

The problem of purges is they never stop when you begin them. Somehow people always end up ashes.  It has happened before and may happen again.  Hopefully before that someone turns the lights back on.



Love is Never Wrong!

Pain

In this time I do not wish to dismiss anyone or reduce their needs. What I do want to say is while we are at it let's fix it all. Too much pain...

Sadly I could go on and on. Can we please stop hurting each other? Can we address issues when they arise with true justice? Could we protect one another like we should? Can we love, even when it hurts?



Love is Never Wrong!
