You're going to be presented with opportunites, challenges and temptations in this life.
How do you handle them? Well, the opportunities are simple but challenges and temptations, they're another thing entirely.
One thing is certain - We All Fall Down.
First I believe you need to decide just why you're here in order to better handle what comes your way.
Was your birth an accident or for a purpose?
Do you believe in just hanging out in this life, with no direction, no plan, or do you believe you are here for the express purpose of becoming a better human being and trodding the spiritual path?
How do we define someone who murders just for the pleasure of it?
How do we define someone who tortures just for the pleasure of it?
How do we define a Serial Rapist?
How do we define someone who continues to abuse children?
Are they Human, Demons or just misguided?
We all have two faces: one we show to friends, neighbors, and the other one we hide.
We are all a mixture of bad and good. So why do some of us embrace the bad and turn away from good?
How can we possibly come to terms with the horrific situation we find ourselves in, with bloodbaths taking place all over the planet? How long does it take for all of us to admit that we're (collectively) in much trouble.
Do we have the wherewithal to make a difference? You bet we do.
One of the most beautiful places on this earth is Africa and yet the people who live there are continually at war with one another. The brutal slaughtering of entire groups of men women and children happen at mind-blowing speed. And, much too often.
Starvation and disease are rampant, brought about in part by the weather, but exacerbated by the hand of man.
Right now in the country of Mexico, the amount of killing ongoing on is almost unfathomable. Drug cartels fighting for control of narcotics which infect the mind, infect the body. But oh the money is so damn good.
Even with all we are seeing, I believe we're on the verge of a profound spiritual awakening--in that the physical and psychological shackles that have bound all of us for so long are falling off.
Evil likes control. And it purposely hides in places where you can't find it. It's tucked away in the nastiest, dirtiest recesses of the mind, where it feeds upon itself. Kinda like a parasite that attaches to a host and gorges itself with blood. Trouble is, we don't know it's there until it makes its serpentine presence known.
I believe we have an obligation to make this planet a better place, no matter how small our contribution is.
I also hope that Hollywood has gotten at least part of this message and that some producers/directors are focusing now on making movies that show the goodness inherent in human beings.
Movies that empower us and ones we walk away from with a new and fresh perspective on how many things we have in common. These movies would be a breath of fresh air. We all have been subjected to enough of the bad.
We may look differently, we may talk differently but in the end we all want one thing and that is:

To get along and to live in peace.
