RE: 20 Minute Blog a Day - warm up to my Prison Industrial Complex series
This was simply incredible sister! I have often thought about similar things, but not from the perspective that you talked about.
Our society judges people from their own vantage point and forget that not everyone has the same opportunities as they did/do. But if we stop for a moment to put ourselves in the shoes of others and picture how would we respond to that situation, there would be a lot more compassion.
I love how you talked about us being born into a specific family during a specific time. This shows how we are born into those things to teach us lessons and make us who we are. But it is people like you, that shine the light on the darkness that is happening around us to be able to transcend beyond this.
I wrote an article about how we hide behind our many masks and the solution is to #RemoveYourMasks and rise above the realities you have created from the various identities you have attached to. Once we do this on a collective level, and continue talking about the things that have been suppressed and hidden, we will collectively transform and come together in unity once and for all!
Thank you for the wonderful article, much love sister! <3
@meditationmann thank you so much for your support my brother! <3 <3 I will definitely be checking out the #RemoveYourMasks article that seems right up my alley :) the masks we where have uses but we must know how to take them off and lay them down when the time comes.. we must also realize that the "face" behind the mask is that of humanity and we all have the exact same face underneath ;-) I don't think I'm telling you anything you don't know LOL
But I hope to explore these injustices and shine light on a community that has helped to shape my growth over the years. I have a unique perspective for a 30 year old white women hahah I was placed into a broken family unit where drugs, (especially the crack boom in the 80's) crushed the adults in my life. I plan to use my path like a highway to lead people into a new way of thinking.. hopefully bring open, caring eyes into this world so we can make the changes that need to be made - no more prison reforms, no more drug rehabs - they are set up for failure - we need healing on an individual level and compassion for these people.
Thanks again for checking out my blog bro! Namaste :-D
You are right, the masks are very important. It's also important that others are able to see that although they may be necessary, they are definitely not meant to rule their lives. They are simply a tool to keep us safe and to help us navigate through this crazy world.
I would love to hear more of your perspective, you definitely have a lot to share with the world! It sounds like it was a very difficult struggle for you. But it made you into a very strong person. I believe you went through it to have that perspective so you could help others like that to rise above it and become their greatest version.
You are making huge impact sister, keep it up! Namaste :D
you're 100% right - we gotta use the masks not let the masks use us!
Thanks so much, again for all your support! It's very uplifting to get such great comments <3 <3 I hope to spark some great conversations and maybe even some solutions in this coming series! excited to see your perspective too!
That would be incredible! I will offer whatever perspective I can to come to an amicable solution :) Perspectives are what I believe is truly needed in order to transform the planet!
I am starting a series as well that focuses on the various ripples that we create and the impact it has on, not only our future, but the future of the entire planet.
@meditationmann your series sounds right up my alley! I will be looking out for it brother ! Keep Steemin'! love what you're doing!
Same to you as well sister! Keep on fighting the good fight! :D
