Tag Name For Fame…
Why do we, as a population, enjoy putting tag names on every person, place, or thing in our world? It is sort of like a prehistoric way of “tagging” our own kind. What is the difference between Normal & Strange? Who actually set the standard for normal anyway? What is the difference between Obsessive Compulsive Disorder & Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder? Do we know their similarities? What about hysterical and just going through a bad situation?
In my opinion, people don’t always know the, true initial intentions or, all of the facts, behind any other person’s personal situations. Now, all of us “learned” to come to our own conclusions while in grade school, and we ourselves know, ultimately, the best thing to do, when there are no more possible facts to retrieve. Therefore, in theory we assume that someone purposely tried to screw something up, againsts us in the end. What if they themselves did not entirely know, all the facts, behind what they saw or what they heard. Simply because they could not feel, the word of God at that time? What if they truely, were unable to, come to a logical, rational, or glorious decision on their own? Could it be due to their current heartache, and pain?
I guess since there are so Many statistics, in this world, showing the angle that “bad” people started at. That “corrupt-minded” people, unintentionally choose, to think that other, “corrupt-minded” people, are intentionally doing things to them. The question still stands, Do you love your neighbor as your brother or do you covet against him and sleep with his wife? Believe me, I know how that goes. Why is it that our society, as a whole, quickly tags situations, as if they were a cold, stiff body in the morgue, but that does not feel good, does it? Why haven’t we already learned from our neighbors’ ancestors or our family’s friends? Why do we keep making the same mistakes over and over again?
Still each day we, as a community, tag other human beings, as tyrants - via the news or what we heard our cousins - baby mama - say? then figure it out later? That may be the way the I learned but it is certainly not the way that historical facts were written. Since we were all born of a good seed, Does everyone really know what they are doing and are 100% positive that are supposed to be in way that was not intended by God? In this case you would have to be able to read every person, place and/or thing from three or four angles before you could ever have your own interpretation or opinion of the given situation.
When you see a happy person, are you happy for them or are you jealous that you can’t have that same thing too? Since I know that we were all children once before so envy should not be a difficult concept. Do you smile in that persons face and later tag the person with a name like “silly, flightly, crazy, clueless, or overactive?” When you see a person with disability, do you help them when they fall down or does that depend on whether their disability is mental or physical? When someone with a mental disability speaks to you, do you automatically brush that conversation off, do you listen, did you hear or was that your “good deed” for the day? Do you ever really take the time out of your busy schedule to listen at all or does that depend on the person you are speaking with? Do you look into the eyes of the person sitting accross from you and really take notice to what is behind that person or their issue, when they decided to come to you, with a part of them? It doesn’t matter whether it is in story or in song, facts proove that when you have a conversation with another person, you are supposed to look at them. See them, hear them, and feel them, like miniature stageplay. Did you ever watch your partners mouth move to better interrpret their every word, thus every feeling? I ask myself, did I really experience the conversation in itself or was I distracted by my own thoughts? Not all of us do these simple things that would make our community so much more united, and there are so many, many reasons that “could be” behind this simple inequity.
Is your equalibrium a little off kilter this morning, because you decided to indulge in an extra alcoholic beverage last night? Well that’s fine but don’t take it out on your husband because he wants you to wake up and help him with the kids. Did your crying newborn keep you up through the night, now you just need more sleep? Well, think about your baby and what was wrong with her, to make her cry for so long. Did you open your eyes and stay awake long enough for your baby just to get what she needed, or did you throw a bottle in the crib and jump back in bed? Was it raining this morning when you woke up and you had to take your oldest 2 kids to school and the 2 little ones to the sitter,then travle 40 minutes in rush our traffic just to get to work? All while knowing that having this job is only paying for your kids’ childcare & education costs? Are you a recent medical college graduate who just began looking for work in near your home and then realize that the position you longed for all through school has been on the chopping block of healthcare reform and your not the only one who is looking for work? Some of us may ask the question, How, do these same people still smile every single day? Maybe it is just because You made eye contact with them today. Maybe it is because you asked them how Their day was going, or maybe they saw a glorious light in one of their personal friends, which in turn, made their day just shine.
You may also ask, How could people be happy, after struggling so long? I’m not going to lie to ya, but their NOT, “really” happy, on the outside, they have an inner peace within themselves, which could only be there, because spirituality was already instilled by their parents. They may have had a tough struggle, but just feel they will wake up each day, and looking in the mirror, “knowing” God is with them. There is difference between good-hearted people, and those who intentionally bring you down, in life. They are happy with themselves.
They have an inner peace, that burns just like the great core of our earth. Their happiness is unmaterialistic, and their Greed is only skin deep.
But isn’t this all of us, in a sense, on a different level?
Matthew 5, verses 3 & 4
“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”
Which means that the people who now live in darknes, shall see a Great Light,
And that light, will shine down upon us again, evolutionarily.
You see, there are so many points, in our life, that we, fail to see, the bigger picture. We fail to see what our family community has really taught us. You know that each person, in your life may eventually need a little helping hand, from you, every now and again. Your sister may need you to watch her baby, your friend, a shoulder to cry on. Your neighbor, two eggs or a cup of sugar. Some of us are even fortunate enough, to have our family as our neighbor, where we can see them on more than just the holidays.
How is it so easy for us to find the feelings in discouragement and despair when we already know, that true happiness comes from within? How can we hunger for mercy, feel we deserve justice, be patient with our child then argue with our own mother, thirst to be pure in spirit, and indulge in our own misery… all in the same day? Well, you see, it’s kind of in the same way that God can create the heavens & the earth, the sea & the sky, the fish & the flock, all, within merely six days. Not until then, did he rest!
When will we have the ability to compromise? When will we see all of God’s many paths?
How can’t it be that one nation, one community, and one family, alike, can receive the same spirituality from the Lord, Jesus Christ?
It’s when we forgive our neighbors just like we hope they would forgive us. When we learn to appreciate more, and accept our feelings of unworthiness and feelings of spiritual impoverishment. Then we will find the blessings in our own grief! For our common place is self-reflection. For we all have the knowledge and the power to rise up in emancipation, and freely break society’s chains of prolonged ignorance.
Together we, can always be, one family,
United by the hand the father, and the son, and the Holy Spirit!
Our Shallow ways, and closed-minded hearts,
Can only provide, a deeper divide.
For we are one world, and one nation,
We are one community, and one family!
And Under God, is, where we stand…
Forever
In the name of Our Father,
Our Son, and Our Holy Spirit,
Amen.
