What Matters

Today is like any day a chance for change and possibilites. I feel that there are certain things that are true or can be true.

1. Comfort will not give me Justice, But Justice will give me comfort. I cannot have any sense of comfort with out justice and there are those who constantly seek comfort at the price of justice.

2.When any of us simply seek comfort which can lead to luxury and can at times then set the format for greed, this is the root of injustice and also the reason there is so much discomfort for those who suffer at the hand of others. The formula for oppression can be discovered in these factors.

1. We cannot take anything with us but do enjoy certain things in this life.but we leave it all behind. The thing worth the taking and the leaving that will be remembered for any given reason is who we are and were in life to anyone. The footprint that is unekely each of ours is the one we would like others to step into or learn and benifit from. The path worth taking and walking to continue anything of a worthy venture. such as the likes of Mahatma Ghandi or persons of similar distinction.
   We all can be traiblazers as I know I have been influenced by people since my childhood. from the kitchen of my grandmother to the streets where I lived and those who came to speak on topics that fascinated me.
   Even in my disadvantaged life I have been more fortunate than those who have had to trek miles for water, food and then only to see thier chidren die from starvation and thirst, thier discomfort is a motivating factor for my seeking justice in the world, their pain is very visable to me and I want it to be visable to others.
   My hardships are like sailboats compared to others and I do keep reminding myself of that even though by the society I was rasied in my life is one they could not have withstood. it is not in what is considered to be the norm by conventional standards, which may be why I identify with so many oustide of those standards in others countries of the world.

What matters is the heart and the mind of the people respond in any given moment or opportunity which will give us a stronger heart and mind we can become evolved .
