I've always thought about Helen Keller & all those who struggled just like she did.. When I saw the above photograph & its beautiful heading "imagine colors", I remembered Black.. Really, how do our blind brothers & sisters imagine colors? I wonder!
MASS asked us to "Get politicized be Aware", but you know something MASS? I can't! Seriously now, I can't! I get sick! And worse, depressed! And then I feel so incapable to a limit I can't describe here! I just get in this very low state that doesn't help me get any better..
A couple of days ago, mama's Iraqi doctor told her the saddest thing ever! At least one of all her relatives' families (uncle's family, aunt's family, & so forth) had a killed member! Things are going really bad over there & the killing is non-stop.. She had this 22 year old relative who was engaged to the man she loved & had plans with.. They dreamt together of owning houses up there in heaven, & investing their everything for that purpose.. She'd send him a message every dawn to make sure that her future husband is one who'd never forget his obligations towards his Creator.. The night before their wedding day, her future husband was murdered! Just like that! Instead of beating the drums to unite them, they carried him in hopes to be flying in a better place.. The girl lost her mind.. Literally..
Is this what you want me to learn of everyday MASS? I don't wanna be "politically" aware! I can't do nothing, so why watch houses falling apart? Maybe some guys can take it, go out there, fight with their hands, but me? I'll hold on to my pencil & scribble what I think might make a change!
Everyone has a purpose.. Just like the old man said in The Alchemist, there's a Personal Legend for everyone: "It's what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is. At one point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their Personal Legend."..
And to all guys out there, there's a huge difference between this groom being killed in his land, & that young man who was hit by that car right in front of our building's door step! HUGE DIFFERENCE!
