IGNORANCE..
..isn't always bliss. not in this sense.
the sense of judging a person without knowing him or her.
the sense of actually speaking out upon a statement in which you just sound so utterly and completely ignorant. no facts? know truth. think before you speak. it's all common sense, isn't it? well, i always thought so.. buuuut.. call 'em niggers if you will - ignorant people. without a clue to the obvious. and your skin doesn't have to be a few shades darker than mine to well-fit this description of a shallow mind.
it's saddening to see the effects of day-to-day living in this world. a problem, big or small, occurs in pretty much everyone's lives each day. but if you can't live in love.. if you can't speak in truth.. if you have no desire for knowledge.. if we all judge each other based on.. well, no basis at all.. we continue to live in a society of skepticism and hate. hurricane katrina; the victims - the society - the diseases - the politics - governing - and personal discretions all involved could all be a perfect example.
i was introduced to this book the other day.. the language of love.
it's not a sappy love story.. don't judge a book by it's cover.. or title ;]
it's an amazing contribution to day-by-day life. you may just find YOUR god.
