ANGELA H.

There so many things in this world that God could let me have, yet I’m dumb and can’t see what the Lord has laid out for me.

I’ve chosen all the wrong paths in life, now I’m trying to do them over.

I hurt the ones I loved and can’t stand to see them hurt, but to get what I wanted I walked on them like dirt.

They’ve been there for me through whatever went wrong. God has never let me down and neither has my mom.

Amen.

In What Perspective.

When many individual’s eyes are focused deeply on a new individual there is a question that’s curiously pondering in their mind and the feeling of unease settles over them while they wonder if they are doing or living in the right way(s).

That individual only seems to know that they are striving to do their best and most of the time it seems that it’s not the best to the eyes of others. Expectations of actions vary from person to person in the universities or “schools of thought” in this world and leaves an individual full of hectic chaos in the mindset. For instance, as an adolescent most are taught to treat the next adolescent nice and kind and also to respect all adult figures. Unfortunately, sometimes when the adolescent grows up and begins to make their own decisions they rely on their taught feelings, which leads them into some sort of uncomfortable stage in life where their perspectives have been picked up from watching and hearing adults laugh with one another as they watch others. See, as there are actions being played in the eyes of every youth they await their time to approach the stage of life and add their performance because they feel their performance in situations is better. Because it’s always been taught to them that they can do better and that is the only understanding they hear instead of being guided into better ways that they can see.

Another example is to realize that a lot of the teachings to the youth are to fight, and most of the time fight without a factor. To them it’s being brave instead of educating themselves on who fears them or who they can prey upon because they feel that they are or have been preyed upon from fear themselves even by adults and or the authorities.

This seems to be the repetitive cycle in life from era to era. How does this cycle ever end? Will individuals in this world ever get off the treacherous merry-go-round of hatred? Or is that a concept which will stand forever? One that will bring incarceration and the deaths to many?

Those choices are mainly forced, because of the lack of embracement from all nations. The refusal comes from the fear in feelings of domination whereas one or the next race has the acceptance that their race is supremacy over the next by false allegations and literature passed down by incomplete research. That teaching shuts the youth down from expanding their minds and their true understandings. To understand themselves, as well to know about the next individual or race is a marvelous concept to be a part of. These are the teachings that are needed to regulate the misunderstandings that go on behind the many perspectives of how an individual is to live their life.

What is “right” is instilled in a minor’s mind, but they find out through their trials in life that many things get hard at times. That means there are different perspectives to evaluate, and when they choose that different route will their teachers support their ways? Or will that minor even care? Will their teacher stand firm in their corner and back them up and congratulate them for their prosperous attempts of accomplishments, even when it takes them many harsh attempts?

When some of their attempts cause shame not only to themselves but on the family’s name will their teacher give them that pat on the back? Or will they say, “I didn’t teach them that?” Will they reach out and still strive to reteach the youth a way to better themselves in this new life not accepting the path in which was chosen by that youth.

When multiple adults own up to wrong teachings and are willing to come to the realization that it actually takes a nation to firmly raise a child then the fact of causes like Black Lives Matter will be totally understood because the full acceptance of reaching out and the full acceptance of giving back shall come into all ethnicities.

People should be open to the various standpoints of all nationalities whereas if there was an acceptance of a little teaching of each race in everyone’s life then the wide-range of perspectives just might lessen. Until that possibility comes forward and is presented as divine reality over all, the problems or deep concerns of believing that each individual race is the “true or right” way just might be observed that it isn’t about just a certain race nor just a certain gender being in “charge”.

The notions of being in charge is what the overall outcome of many predicaments are. The mind frame of who is or what is right, is the true problem of this planet. The right or wrong is according to what perspective one chooses. Laws change periodically according to the standards that are sufficient for the “mass” of individuals on this earth, instead of common courtesy and respect where people were working together to produce productive life. Many individuals chose to act as the judge, jury, and executor all at once in any and all circumstances they cross paths with, and when laws state that one can become registered to bare arms, in short, that gives any individual to become the judge, jury and executor once again all in a matter of minutes.

The changes in the laws are to bring about a peace only in a certain rim of an individual’s perspective. How is it that one finds the right way in everyone’s eyes? Or does one choose to not be bothered and find the easiest way/perspective to live by? Is it possible to take a piece of every nationality’s concept of perspective and combine them together to live? Hum?
