Monday Morning Reflections
I’ve come to the realization that our insecurities are getting in the way of our purpose, what we were put here to do. Instead of being extraordinary human beings we waste our talent and energy trying to build images, walls, masks that prevent people from seeing us for who we truly are because we’re afraid. From the designer clothes and makeup, to the prestigious jobs and fancy cars, to the big houses and the Joneses; we are making conscious choices to be small.
One day it will all catch up to us. One day, we won’t be able to get by on our looks, our money, our titles, or our materials. One day, people will see us for who we are, and trust me it won’t be pretty. It’s time that we get comfortable living in our skin without the aid of the bionics.
What About Life?
In my opinion, these public shootings/massacres continue to happen because of how we react as a society. Everywhere we turn we’re talking about the shooter, how many people he injured, his motivation, and why would he do this and that.
I say F*CK him, lock him up, let him remain nameless, don’t tell his story, don’t show his pictures, and don’t give him the satisfaction of achieving his goal of being talked about. Instead, let’s highlight the lives of the victims of the crime. Let’s tell their story. Let’s highlight the positive aspects of their lives, how they lived, their dreams, aspirations, and what they were doing in the community.
As for the murderer? He should be nothing more than a footnote…
Such and such was executed for his role in the Colorado shooting.
