Principle Over Flag, the Equality of Individuals

It is necessary for us to be the ones who are willing to stand up for ideas and principles Rather than groups. To say to any group that on issues in which it supports life and truth, "I am with you." but on that which the same group sides with the lies that only bring death, "I am your enemy. It is the cause and not the collective to which I pledge my allegiance." To loudly proclaim, "The truth is my God, my only God and to him and him alone does my heart belong!"

It is imperative for individuals to stand for truth and always recognize that in every grey is a mixture of black and white. At this point one can either choose good, evil or finally admit to ourselves that we stand for nothing. (To do that last is to reject ones own humanity.) This country does not need more politicians, this country needs men that are men. It cries for the individual to take responsibility for his own life and seek truth.

It is begging us to quite blindly hoping that someone else will fix it. Until you and I step up, the trend will continue in our respective lives as the blind leading the blind. Many of us have have lost our sense of self and thus made the concept of accountability a foreign concept. If you want to see greatness, you must first understand it was always from individually held principles that greatness was seen. We ought to reject blind collectivism to once again believe that all men are truly equal and understand this as a confession that for each man to own himself is equality.

Against the worthless void

Listen and listen close! Can you hear the echos of hatred crying all around you. I listen for it and hear nothing, because the death and hatred cannot speak.  It is only love and life that speak and I hear nothing. Hatred is nothing, it is the worthless silence in between, that which does not speak up in the face of great evil. If your alive, if your hearts still beat within your chest, speak out and let those who are suffering know they are loved. Fill the void and push back against the empty darkness. Hug those who need it and speak life and truth to all who are listening. I will not stand the silence even for a moment, even if it is only my voice filling it. So let us pray for the victims of all the horror that surrounds us.
