As you are likely to be doing some family visiting this holiday season what is one question that you would like to ask anyone or your entire family?
Think of any three people you would like and imagine or write down five things values etc. you believes you have in common with these people. Now to pick two people that you wish had these things in common with you or the group of people you were thinking about
Finally what skills or talents do you have personally that would help either you or someone you care for build bridges with other people not walls?
OK enjoy this top 10 for 2019
These days we hear a lot of talk about "the Wall."
If you want to you can link to FoxNews--CNN, or MSNBC some links below and get a ready-made opinion of this topic.
Fortunately, this is not the wall I'm talking about....because there are enough people talking about that already
I'm also not talking about Pink Floyd's "quasi-experimental" album (The Wall and the stunning movie adaptation.)
So what Wall?
Well I thought about the great wall of China because that is one impressive wall and it was built a long time ago and we in the "west" don't know much about it except what we might learn with regard to how ancient alien astronauts might have had a hand in it (just kidding)
I'm talking about the walls that this debate about some border structure are building between people who otherwise believe in a lot of the same things and for some of the same reasons.
We all want a safe place to live and to feel like things are fair.
We as humans all like some sense that we can have a space of our own if we need it for a while.
we are as human beings built to be hyper aware of new and strange situations including the looks of people. These are realities.
Let's all admit that.... and move ahead.
WhatI guess I'm questioning is why we have to make this yet another either or issue for our country and the world are we?
Building a Wall of Duality that urges us to characterize ourselves as one of our many facets? If so please don't make it aawall.... I want to be sorted out by the curve of my left ear. Should I start a Facebook group?
Seriously... if we are to achieve peace and joy in this existence let's breathe and avoid a forced extreme and two-sided choice— a wall inside.
There have always been walls there will always be walls but let’s think about them differently here’s a little song about walls it is a one take wonder it will be better when I work on it a while but so will humanity (mine). LOL
