Stephen Fry and Russian Change
Click to viewIf you haven't been following what's been happening in Russia and the upcoming Olympics, this is a must see for you. If you have been, this will merely be conformation.
I realize we live in a world that's frightening to people who already live in fear of change. As human beings we are wired for newness. It is learned behavior from others that prevent us from being present in that newness. It is what we receive as the truth from others, that forces us back into the dark instead of leading us singing and rejoicing into the Light. It is others, whose voices lie with a vengeance and a conviction that for some reason, we tend to accept as true. It is those that need the help. And it is those who lie. And so we have a large job ahead of us. We fear what we have been told is what is in front of us. It's a lie.
I realize the world we live in. But I can not keep pretending that these people who go out of their way to stop the voices of change don't deserve to be exposed.
Intent is one thing, actions are another.
I'm fine with the way you feel about me. In fact, and this has taken me a life time, but I couldn't care less. But if you try and curtail what is my given right to exist and to share whatever gift I posses with others on the planet, the voice I was born with, you tread on my very existence, and I will not stand by and allow that to happen.
We are in the middle of great change. And although we must fight the ones who try and stop us with courage and with kindness, we must also be vigilant in our ability to name them and draw them out of their caves.
By the hair, if necessary.
