wise words.
"Poverty is the worst form of violence."
(Ghandi)
I'm watching "Ghandi" right now, starring Ben Kingsley. It was made in teh 70s I think. He's such an amazing man. Words can't even say.
That quote just really stood out for me though. Living in the DTES, there's all kinds of typical violence. You can't help but hear it at night. But its all just a symptom of neglect, somewhere along the line. Spiritual neglect, perhaps.
I always try and remember how rare it is for me to have been born on this cnotinent. I remember some crazy statistic, like only one in 88 babies is born in a developped nation. (is that the p.c. way of saying it?) So I know that I'm poor, but being poor in Canada 'aint so bad, I guess.
I finished my appeal for disability today. I talked to my meditation teacher about it last night, and she told me to try and clear out anything that might be blocking me from receiving assistance. So I have a lot of pride, and part of me feels really guilty for being sick, but I just tried to give it all to my guides and have faith. There's a reason for everything.
Wow. I'm so centred today. Glad I wrote this in here. It'll give me something to look back on the next time I feel all fucked up and judgemental.
:p
