Reflection

The Price of Peace = Sacrifice. 

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, joy, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

The truth is that I find it interesting that almost everyday one of the children will mention mama did you hear this? Or did you hear that? In case everyone is wondering most of the time it is some sort of death, or killing that they are referring to. However, another one of the kids is a huge Trump fan. I hear this as well, mama Trumps going to Make America Great, I know it he will. I simply smile.

The truth is that this year I thought I would refrain and not write about all of the terrible bloodsheds, terror attacks, as well as the unusual weather patterns that continue to take place. It's not that these events don't have an impact upon me. It is the fact that I truly cannot control any one's reaction to anything. Can anyone control another persons reaction? These events do have an impact upon me. Any individual who possess the quality of sympathy and empathy, will surly feel for the losses and the suffering that is taking place. 

I do care, but it was more about trying to move forward into the realm of positives. Write about improvements, issues, but on the level of trying to create a better, positive future. But as I continue to see the bloodshed, or suffering upon any level. I cannot simply hope that it will go away. Maybe the words I write will impact another heart in some shape or form. We must ensure that these deaths stop. Not just for my sake, but actually for the eyes of wonder. The children who continue to desire a world free of violence. Not only for future generations, but also the present and elderly generations as well. Everyone has a desire for a peaceful world, yet these strategic planned attacks, and bloodsheds continue. 

I think that it is time for world leaders to commit to building a peaceful future for all. The bloodsheds and terror is done on purpose. As I have said many times before. The ones who possess the power gain a satisfaction to the ego, whilst they superficially claim to be protecting the public interests. In a sense it is the public who is being manipulated. Human emotion is being played with.

With these thoughts in mind. I urge world leaders to unite. Not for the purposes of selfish gains, but rather for the construction of peace. These thoughts can also be transferred to the Inauguration 2017. Why don't we model unity, instead of unsettling and interrupting the discourse. Take a moment to acknowledge, and embrace change. Why worry and be fearful of an administration. Why not model that it is ok to have a different point of view, yet still be in the space of accepting one another. 

Dedication: These thoughts are dedicated to all who have been impacted by the recent terror attacks, as well as those who have lost loved ones, family of friends. Florida, Turkey, and horrific, unusual weather that is taking place in Houston. Sending love & safe well wishes.
