Immigration will come back up in this last leg of the race for president. Its interesting that some people are against letting immigrants into our country. If you are not Apple Pie American, you already get treated funny anyway, but to down right say we need to stop immigrants from entering our country is really funny. Aren’t…..we all….immigrants? Last time I checked we all came to this land in a boat. Some willingly, some un-willingly. Interestingly enough, that could be up for debate. Anyway - Sidebar.
I whole-heartedly believe in process and that anyone that wants to be in America, should go through that process. But please lets make sure our eyes are open. If people are coming in unlawfully, then there is a faulty process in place. Oops, our fault, right? Something we have done wrong shouldn’t be a platform to deny people in to this country.
All I am saying is that our Statue of Liberty says:
“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breath free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!’
If we don’t mean it, lets take that shit down.
I have heard people utter non-sense. People are saying that since their candidate is not in the race or may not be leading their parties’ campaign, that they will not vote in November. Are you serious? Do you make your life decisions like that? So you have two options and because you don’t like those options, you don’t make a choice? Is that the buffoonery I hear?
I think a person who has a clue, looks at their options, and makes the best decisions with those options…I hope you have a clue.
How deep is your commitment? How deep is your love? How deep is your thought process? Are you top layer? Are you a surface termite? Do you try to learn how to fish or do you beg for fish?
What are you chasing? Is it happiness with your family and friends? Does finances determine your happiness? Can you chase both wealth and happiness? Does one run away when you are chasing the other? Is there a prerequisite? Do you need money to be happy or do you need happiness to get money?
If you haven’t ask yourself these questions, you haven’t cracked the surface of who you are. To be continued……..
Everyone is seeking refuge at the edge of the earth
but with Tsunami’s and typhoons…I seek inland
inward that is, to define the depth of my oceans floor
see I have a score to settle
not to meddle with the laws of the land
but I seek knowledge!
I have not taken the bar exam because I can’t change God’s laws.
I am just a man wanting to see the light
although sunrises and sunsets have endless beauty
the rain follows me
making what I know that is a promising life- seem bleek
I am sure I reek of God’s essence because I am in the image of Him
although, the rain still follows
And to this date I continue to weather the storm
and desire a positive outcome with my fate.
Well I just realized I need to find out what planet I am from, because I just found out the planet I am on is filled with egotistical superheros who are always on time, never miss a beat, rise to the occasion in every stride, and leap buildings at a single bound. Me, hmm, I am just human. I have genius moments, but I also make mistakes and miss the mark. I am just me - a guy who is seeking comfort with the planet that I am on.
I was listening to a song today and that question was posed in it. I was like damn, thats a good question. Citizens of Third World countries are labeled as if they are not of this world. Classism at its finest! Unfortunately sometimes, human nature will not let us justify a segment of people, events, or anything we see visually without putting it in a box. You and I are guilty of it. And thats fine really. However, once we start treating people we classify inhumanely, is when its wrong.
If Cambodia is “Third World,” does that make the U.S. the first? Is that really so? Naw, only “One World” has been revealed to us. I am glad that term “Third World” has been nearly abolished.
My new focus is to make sure I do not waste time. Because starting today, I am not going to let other people waste my time. So if you feel I am being a little mean. Don’t feel that way. Cause I am letting you know now. Please…..do not……waste my time.
When am I am actually going to posting my photos? I really don’t know why its been so hard for me to post them. I need to get nimble. It seems moving pebbles has been as hard as moving bolders.
This is my commentary - written word, about my life and those who are in it, as I see it. I am just a man seeking the beautiful things in life and savoring those things with the special people that make it all worth it. I am a amateur philosopher, photographer, and pretty much amateur in anything with "pher" at the end. :)
