It is what i am aiming to live my life with... it is what i am always reminding myself to BE.
I am who i am. I do what i do.
And while some people may not exactly understand it... i can assure you, it is always done in a way that is righteous. Or consciously intended.
Sometimes i catch myself being a human... a creature who has been socialized by the values of the society in which i was raised, we all have been.
And i catch myself thinking or doing those lessons that this society and culture and all that has influenced me have taught me...
And sometimes another essence of me sort of whispers in...’wait a second... that’s not right.’
Its not right to violate people. Its not right to harm others. Its not right to consciously live in dishonesty.
It is right to look to my brothers and sisters with eyes of truth, and caring, and respect.
Sometimes when i come across people, or figures in society who carry some kind of weight, where their role is SUPPOSED to be deserving of respect... such as those in positions of power and authority... like a police officer, or a boss, or a government ELECTED official... and they are not living RIGHTEOUSLY... i feel frustrated. And i don’t want to be, i never want to be frustrated, or angry... i completely believe in being peaceful.
Being peaceful is at my truest core nature... because this earth is so perfect and beautiful... and so is all of our natural roots connectedness. And i find such beauty in it all... that i know the earth and all of us living beings within it are meant to be peaceful, and in true harmony and balance with eachother. That is the utmost beauty of life and death. These cycles and separate species and dynamics all fit together into one beautiful perfection.
Underlying all of this is respect... and acceptance. That we ALL are one. That we ALL are part of eachother.
I believe this so absolutely completely.
And we are harming the earth. And there are people who have the power, who violate that power, because they are not doing anything about it. And they are playing games with so many people, and exploiting them... with their dishonesty.
And all i want to do with my human life is live righteously... with respect, and honesty, and peacefulness, and joy... with those around me, those who live on the same land and earth as i do... and like the old camping rule... leave it better then when i came into it...
And you know what... i simply cannot stand by when i see another harming another... i cannot see it and just turn and walk away... i do not believe in that. That is not taking care of my fellow human beings, and that is not taking care of the earth.
So if the police are out there in my community and they are wondering what my story is... this is it.
Simple truths, for real.
So let us righteously come together as human beings, and find our righteous balance.
Peace.
