The Strongest Factor in My Life

My desire for peace and freedom and to see others with the same rights and experiences is turning out to be the strongest factor in my life.

I have grown up in a time which First established voting for more American citizens, then expanded education and the arts, and is now taking it away.

i grew up with idealism and saw it become a reality.

When so much good can be done by so many people, it is amazing to watch what overpowering greed is doing.

Fortunately, more and more people are becoming aware of the conflict between good for all and obscene self-centeredness.

I am grateful to see the political battle lines being drawn as we emerge into a more compassionate society.

Naturally, the steps leading to these moments are quite ugly.

The fear of limitation is so implanted in people’s minds that many people believe what the greedy rich are saying.

And yet, we all have so much to share with each other.

We have time, and listening, and experiences.

We have kindness, and an ability to expand our view, once we are willing.

With communication, all kinds of steps can be taken.

The signs are so obvious and the solutions so plentiful once the fear of limitation is overcome by compassion and kindness.

We can still see a level of wealth and sharing never before imagined once we get this feeling on a consistent basis.
