Peace is The Way … (08/30/13)

“As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in prison.” ~ Nelson Mandela

The way to true Contentment is not that complicated:

Peace is the destination …
Kindness is the path …
and Forgiveness is the first step.

Despite our differences of opinion & ideology, we humans — ALL of us — are literally members of ONE Family … So isn’t about time we started acting like it?

Here’s a tip for all you “patriots” out there: Syria is not the enemy.  And by the way, neither is Al Qaeda … or the Taliban … or North Korea … or “radical Muslims” … or anarchists … or “bleeding heart liberals” … or immigrants … or homosexuals … or atheist “heathens” … or intellectuals … or communists … or reverse racists.

No, your real enemies are the political systems (and the corporations that control them) that YOU have supported for the last four+ decades.

The real enemy, my Friends, is your own patriotism.

It is high time we reclaimed our Freedom, and it is high time we did so not by attacking our oppressors, but rather by exuding them compassion while we dismiss them from our lives.

It is high-time we looked our governments in the eye, extended them a heartfelt forgiveness for their corrupt criminality — and then started rebuilding our nations & our communities & our neighborhoods ourselves;

… nations founded in Justice instead of judgment,
… communities steeped in Virtue instead of violence,

… & neighborhoods filled with Caring instead of callousness.

Amen … Let it be so.
