Healing and Progression
There has been a lot that has happened
to us in the African community and is still going on as some, if not
most of this is happening of our own doing in oppose to the principal
of love and respect for one another; but there are better times right
in front of us if we do not allow the affects of a violent and foul
past to trespass into the present in keeping us hurting and in affect
angry, bitter, hostile, disrespectful and therefore destructive to
one another in causing self-destruction more so in our community.
It is a reality in our historical
accounts that despite what has oppose our efforts, we have forever
beat the odds that were and are set against us; and these successes
should be truly appreciated and taken inside for the sake of healing,
inspiration and focus instead of always giving into the feelings of
hurt and defeat of something this day we can do nothing about. This
enslaves us all over again as a weakness as our ancestors were made
so weak by our own so-called kings, when the Europeans placed us in
chains with their permission.
It is time to ask ourselves of why we
find so much pleasure and satisfaction of intentionally dwelling upon
the painful events of the past? Why do we find it to be sufficient to
always wake up from our rest and then walk around all day until we
rest angry and bitter, thinking of what others have done to us and
turn our minds from seeing what we are doing everyday to one another?
Things have hurt us, and if we understand that those who have hurt us
have no intention nor will in helping us to heal, then it is our
responsibility of a village of beautiful people to be willing to heal
ourselves and therefore one another.
Each day is new and so take some time
out to understand of how important it is to allow yourself to heal so
that proper focus can be sparked and in affect the sufficient
incentive to produce can begin. It is only reality as well as wise to
let go of what we cannot doing anything about nor change. Take the
lessons as what they are “information” and not a tool to always
trouble you to the degree that we walk around angry and bitter;
because those who did what they did, escaped through death, while we
are steady killing one another this day.
