Some some of you might not know this (or believe it) but I honestly had never really used or went on youtube before a couple of months ago....I knew it existed and I had heard there were videos on it but had never actually typed the site into my browser and just browsed....
well and then I did..
and lost DAYS of my life.
Seriously Days.
After following different tracks I found this video:
I put it up on facebook for a hot minute but then took it down...when I thought about it this video is kind of creepy and I couldn't put into words why I liked it sooo much. Honestly its kind of creepy...the person should be focusing on the kids...and it is not her best dancing and I don't have this weird obsession with her..
after mulling it over though I realized its because she is living her PASSION. She doesn't give a shit about the press, or her image, or really anyone but she is in the moment. living her mission. She is focused on the kids, their joy. She is soaking up the energy and recharging.
Replace her with anyone.
From Nanny to First Lady to Comedian.
When people live their passion it shows. It shows in their face. It shows in their walk, their energy, their everything.
Shit happens but when you are living a life of your ideals, your talents, it is always worth it. The goal is so much bigger than the pain. It is not the easy road, or even the smartest route sometimes but its the road that just feels right. That allows you to go to bed exhausted but at ease.
Closure
I wish that this "last death" brought back all those lost from this horrible war & 9/11...that all those who lost loved ones, or had loved ones fight for this cause would get them back. Sadly I feel that more death, more killing will just equal the same response.
When will we be the example?
When will we stop all of this and show love? peace?
While I hope this brings closure to many I fear that it will be an empty closure. It will not bring back your loved ones, or erase the pain you feel from their absence. It will not undo that horrible event that took place 10 years ago. Instead this quest has led thousands more to feel that pain, to want/to seek revenge.
While I pray this really does end up to be a good thing I think it is unreasonable for the US to ask other countries and organizations for something we are not willing to give.
Another senseless death..how many others died in that gun fight? How many mothers are at home crying over their dead children?
With Bin Laden gone this just leaves room for another in his place. Do you think the view that the people he led has changed of us? Do you actually believe they are now afraid? They who have been trained from childhood to fight, have been taught honor and sacrifice, they who have had all odds against them from day one and yet still have nothing to loose? Do you think they have now changed their opinions of the US for the positive? That we will now be safe?
If you think any of that you are a fool.
I am tired of false promises and of people losing their lives over false information and hatred.
I am tired of 10 years wasted. Wasted on war, on hatred on a false promise of closure. of safety.
I wish tonight I could celebrate closure. I wish tonight I could celebrate our great achievement.
But tonight I pray.
Tonight I pray for healing, for peace. For the US to take a stand and state we will not only ask for Peace but also give it.
10 years, trillions of dollars, thousands and thousands of lives for one elderly man's death. Seems so pointless. Could you imagine if all that effort went into education? into bettering the world? Think of how much truly safer, rewarding this moment would be then. To create relationships based on respect and understanding, of openness and diversity.
Tonight I pray for peace.
