I feel so out numbered sometimes: Re-fuel me DU. |
|
What I mean to say is... The "divide and conquer" method that is used to cause good people, good kind hearted people, to speak in a way that is so prejudice. Talking with someone recently whom I love and respect, who uses words (without knowing) like "they" and "them" in referring to other nationalities, breaks my heart. I feel really sad right now, sad that there are more of "them" <---ha karma, than "me". We're all just people wanting the same things for our families. Sometimes I want to get up on a podium and preach generous thinking to the world. I really do.
I need a breath of hope from DU right now. Please send me some hope. I need to be re-fueled. Refuel me DU. Share stories of hope if you have any. Thanks so much.
I don't know how to express myself clearly on this, so I hope I was able to.
*sigh*

2. I think some people are just easily led into a "way" of speaking |
|
and thinking..eventhough their actions demonstrate the opposite of their words. It's weird to me...it's as though ... there are those who want people to believe they are "prejudice" when in fact they are not. I dunno, I just don't get it. I don't.

6. Those leading could be Rush or O'Reilly; perhaps your friend is |
|
getting his talking points from those characters.

3. Spring is here. Fucknuts is in the lowest thirties. Goss left in a cloud |

of his own stupidity with more on the way, FItz met today with the grand jury. Just know, they can prevail a while but they never last. Never. I'm 53 and I've seen a lot of shit and I can tell you, they never prevail. Go out and look at the sky, look at the sun and know that they will come up tomorrow and the air will be fresh and we can do it all over again. Don't despair. Don't feel there is no hope. I just know in the end they will fall. Believe it.
