What I am saying here is that it is okay to be afraid. I am afraid but I don't let fear stop me from being the better person I know I am. I don't care about threats and intimidations. I only care about protecting all of us from the bad and working to get us the good. It really is that simple. There is a lot of emotion around so many things but when you set your mind to be on a side that is worthy of honor and respect then all that emotion subsides and the values you have chosen instead become a strength. I am in a state of fear and uncertainty about my own self but it is not a major factor in how I operate.
If I am not myself then I don't want to be anything else. Especially when the other option is living without my conviction and sense of ethics toward the rights of humans. I would rather perish standing against the worst of who we humans could become than to live as a tool for others to utilize for their own purposes. I really am the steward of me and will never relinquish that duty. Like all human beings these days we must see ourselves as warriors for our own intentions. Regardless of any fear that may seem overwhelming the fact remains that an honorable life is worth fighting for even when the threat is real and grave.
As we honor Memorial Day today and tomorrow we must remember our own ancestral heritage in keeping our democracy alive and well. Nearly 250 years of blood and treasure have been spent on making sure human beings have rights beyond the reach of those who would enslave us. We the citizenry of our country are the rulers and no one shall take that from us. If they try then they are susceptible to our wrath. Being afraid to fight is not an inhibition to fighting it is just an emotion to overcome. I think of those young men and boys storming the beaches in Normandy and how crazy afraid they must have felt yet forward into the gunfire they charged. That is how you deal with fear, you move forward to protect what is dear to you and all of us with all the power you can muster!
This blog will be an advocate for compassion, curiosity and human survival. When these elements of human nature are being denied, wholly, severally or individually, less than positive human traits are the outcome. It is my wish and hope that my reasonings on a variety of subjects will provide the readers of this blog with personal and public insights. My only motive is to provide a forum for advancing enlightenment. Carl Clark.
