Who Are Humans ?

1 Comment
Welcome once again. It has been awhile between posts, so I hope that this topic will make up for the lapse in time. Now, as the title says, Let’s be truthful so I will open by saying; I’m sure that I am not the only person that is perplexed by our existence on this planet.  
Someone or something is responsible for our existence here and who or what that may be is far beyond my realm of knowledge. However, I do firmly believe that it is not by some mere happenstance. Growing up I had been taught and conditioned to believe that my existence here could be attributed to a God figure and of course this so-called God figure was a white man with long flowing white hair and beard.. Over the course of time that perception changed and I had denounced this so-called God and had become an non-believer. I just couldn’t fathom a so-called loving God would allow his children (creation) to experience so  much horror and suffering in a world dominated by whites….Why would this so-called God show them favor and appear to exclude darker skinned humans?  As time went by and I learned more and more about man’s history on earth, I came to realize that all of human kind has suffered and experienced unthinkable horrors at the hands of other humans. Most importantly, that it is  man who is the purveyor of wickedness, terror. mayhem, torture and many other types of atrocities and sometimes, occasional acts of kindness, empathy and compassion.  
 Now with that said, what are the chances of us actually being a species that is the by-product of genetic engineering and or manipulation?

WORDS

3 Comments
This particular topic has been swirling around in my mind for years and now I feel that the time has arrived for me to finally speak on it. As you can see, the title to this piece is (WORDS) and I’m going to speak about the power that people give them.. What exactly are words except a means of which we communicate and interact with one another for whatever the purpose may be. They are fundamental and primarily essential  to our understanding and learning but otherwise are not relevant…However, there are those people in the world who understand the power that words can have and will not hesitate to use them as a tool to divide, control, manipulate and exploit… So Beware!

Brevity and Vicissitudes

Hello and blessings to all. Let’s talk about the one thought I’m fairly certain that most of us at one time or another have had regardless of how long we may have been on this planet..and that is….
There just never seems to be enough allotted time and life as a lot of folks will say, is simply much too short. This is called brevity and we all can most definitely attest to its ups and downs which creates a perpetual ebb and flow of uncertainty and constant challenges which are vicissitudes.. Yeah, these are just two words out of many that most of us will never use or even know.  However, these two words sort of sum up life’s mortality, unpredictability and all that encapsulates it.

God’s Work

Welcome once again to another insightful journey into the realm of truth fused with just a bit of skepticism.. I would like for you to try to approach this particular topic with an open mind (which may be a little difficult for some) and just allow yourself the freedom of thought outside of past and current indoctrination’s of religion and faith. Consider for a moment the possibility that everything you’ve been taught about God and Jesus is a lie or just another story borrowed from other stories in antiquity of ancient deities. Everything is not what we have been taught it is so, are you ready to challenge the conventional school of thought? Iam!!!

The Face of Hypocrisy, Ignorance and Denial (a pale-skinned man)

Welcome, you have now stepped into the realm of truth and hopefully you will enjoy the read and become another enlightened soul…

Human values are the principles, standards, convictions and beliefs that people adopt as their guidelines in daily activities. Principal human values are the foundation on which professional ethics are built. They are a set of consistent measures and behaviors that individuals choose to practice in the pursuit of doing what is right or what is expected of them in a humane society. Most laws and legislation are shaped by human values. If a country professes freedom, equality and justice for all as well as high moral family values then the leader of this country should embrace and reflect those same principles and values…

Now I for one am extremely aware of the pervasive and ubiquitous nature of hypocrisy in the makeup of our species and our society… I am aware of how it courses through the arteries of  the most unaltruistic of our kind and lends itself to malevolent folks who promulgate self-serving agendas.  I also understand completely how the process/action which is not seen (thought) allows compromise to maneuver and manipulate many people’s sense of values and principles which in turn open the door for hypocrisy to take root and flourish..If we paid closer attention to the behavior and actions (not rhetoric) of  said folks who demand our steadfast adherence to these fundamental values/principles we would acknowledge their blatant hypocritical posturing and require the same of them. Unless of course we choose to be swept up in a wave of ignorance and denial ourselves for whatever reasons…Which of course is exactly what the trumpeteers have elected to do!!

Conquering the Obstacle (Fear)

2 Comments

Welcome, this truth should speak to the hearts and souls of all people but mainly to my dark-skinned brothers and sisters with whom I hope my words will resonate deeply with..

The greatest hindrance to any one person being able to pursue aspirations and succeeding in life aside from those obstacles that have been systematically placed in their pathway is the propensity for procrastination, a lack of faith in our ability and fear. Of course I’m not referring to those folks who may have some form of physical or mental disabilities that may or may not be an impediment, but primarily to those of us who are in complete control of all of our faculties. I thoroughly understand what the ramifications and impacts of racism, bigotry, xenophobia, discrimination, sexism, injustice and other forms of practiced oppression may have on a person’s psyche. I get it, but in this country does it determine who we are and where we go in life? If not, then why on earth do so many of us settle for it?
