ARE YOU WOKE?
AN INNOVATIVE TO DETERMINE YUOUR CURRENT STATUS
“WOKE” is certainly a term that has made a cultural splash these days. Unfortunately, very few experts have shared the primary principles or characteristics a person must possess or exhibit to fit this category. In a recent scanning of various news stations I heard the term enough to do some personal reflections related to the question: Am I woke?” Here are my ponderings. First, I’m not certain that any one set of individuals and certainly omit one individual is authorized or wise enough to provide a definitive standard for being woke and allowing others to bring some flexibility to the definition might be a requisite for being woke. So the first indicator of being woke may be avoiding unilaterally labeling someone as being woke.
Having said this I thought about what woke could mean in general and in seeking peace and joy. Here are three sets of things I am placing forward for consideration. 1. To be Woke you are;
Wrapping
Others in
Kindness Everywhere
To be woke. Is to be looking to be tolerant and forgiving in many ways and almost at all times in all places.
To be Woke you are:
Working
On
Knowing
Everything.
Okay that’s impossible, howeveracception that the effort to gain knowledge must be on-going. If you are not willing to learn then the contexts and meaning of your experiences and those of others are going to escape you and thus being aware or woke will be ultimately beyond reach —you won’t get into the same area code. To be woke you must let:
Wisdom
Overflow and
Kindle Empathy
You can only be woke when you make it a point to share the wisdom from your experiences with many others and support all efforts people use to express empathy.
Wow given these definitions my Woke score probably indicates that I am outside the mean on this standardized test and yet again I don’t have a standardized mind or spirit so we will soldier on. I’d just finish by saying don’t worry about how to prove you are woke....Try more to “I’m”prove your awareness of your own experiences and how to help others share the good parts of them....woke will take care of itself.
Love the new contrAction: I'mprove!
