CHOICE EXPECTATION REALITY

THE CHOICES WE MAKE LEAD TOWARD OR AWAY FROM PEACE AND WELL BEING Abdul, a longtime friend and fellow artist, recently commented that growing old is not for the faint of heart. I'll leave that stand as is and add that life in this and the coming century is not for the faint of heart. I share the philosophical notion that injustice anywhere will inevitably lead to injustice everywhere. Hunger anywhere will inevitably lead to hunger everywhere. Disregard for human dignity anywhere will inevitably lead to disregard for human dignity everywhere. Race-phobia, gender-phobia, religious-phobia, intellectual-phobia, you-name-it-phobia anywhere will inevitably lead to phobias everywhere. The choices we make as individuals, as a people, as an organization, as a government, will shape the realities of our future. What we do now establishes expectations and expectations lead to predictable outcomes. In short we are at this moment creating the realities of our own future. The question to ask is, what the fuck are we doing? Adolphus A. Ward https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/adolphusaward http://twittercomadolphusward.blogspot.com
