Where are you in your mindset?

My title may seem strange, but lately, I have been more in observation mode.

As it draws nearer to the Christmas occasions and the world is as yet hooked by the COVID emergency and political clashes, I search internally and I can't help thinking about what amount could be better if individuals were less childish. I comprehend the significance of dealing with yourself, however, I likewise comprehend that as people we are totally interconnected and reliant on one another.

Should my reliance on you be about me bringing in cash for me and mine? Does that not outskirt on utilizing and exploiting individuals? I am suggesting the conversation starter to empower further considering what we are doing? 

On the off chance that I carry you into my hover to make it greater and don't assist you with improving it for you, for what reason did I bring you? On the off chance that I put resources into your business and you just turn my 'cash' over in your grasp and analyze how little it is contrasted with another person, would you say you are reasonable in being open-minded toward me? I am just inquiring. Further, in the event that you are making mega monetary steps and I am attempting to get it, will be it reasonable for you to 'kiss your teeth' and allude to me as lethargic and deadbeat? Or on the other hand, would it be advisable for you to converse with me, contribute your time, to discover why I am not advancing as you feel I should? It's just plain obvious, time is of more incentive than cash, on the off chance that you put away your cash and lose it, you can get it back ultimately, yet when you contribute your time, you never get it back yet you offer an incentive to the individual in whom you contributed.

I am aware of individuals who go through hours helping individuals they don't have a clue, for reasons unknown other than to realize that they can identify with what Jesus stated, 'In as much as you've done it unto these the less of your sibling you did it unto me.' They spend endless hours assisting individuals with picking up monetary help for their families, who in any case would have nothing. Indeed, that well-known adage that 'a large portion of a portion is superior to no portion.' 

Who would you be able to help? Less fortunate relatives, more unfortunate neighbors, [I am alluding to neighbor as per Jesus' anecdote of The Good Samaritan] Or are you one of those individuals when given finances that are focused for the less fortunate in your locale, you provide for your loved ones who don't generally require it and state, 'Youngster my loved ones start things out', update, it was others' cash, not yours. OK let a family go hungry just to dazzle somebody who doesn't give a poo about you to be seen giving toys in essence to youngsters who will split them up inside hours and still have an unfilled stomach?

I don't know the answer to these questions, see I am still in observation mode.

What if members of your community are lined up to receive food from the people who are so generously giving and you have a cupboard overstock with goods that you and your family can't consume before spoilage? Would you not call them in secret and give it to them? Or would you be the one who has someone filming the 'gift' so that you can brag about it later to your friends? 

Your mindset should be reflecting on the value you can bring to others. Amassing wealth can be good when you share it with others and could be bad when you become stingy. I say remember the rich fool who was told in the parable, 'tonight your soul will be required of you, then whose would those things be'.

I don't have a clue about the response to these inquiries, see I am as yet in perception mode. 

Imagine a scenario where individuals from your locale are arranged to get food from the individuals who are so liberally giving and you have a pantry overload with products that you and your family can't burn-through before decay. Ok, not call them covertly and offer it to them? Or then again would you be the person who has somebody recording the 'blessing' so you can boast about it later to your companions? 

Your outlook should be thinking about the worth you can bring to other people. Gathering abundance can be acceptable when you share it with others and could be awful when you become closefisted. I state recollect the rich blockhead who was told in the story, 'this evening your spirit will be expected of you, at that point whose would those things be'.

Let's Say NO TO VIOLENCE to Anyone and Everyone... one life lost is too many.

 Let's Say NO TO VIOLENCE to Anyone and Everyone... one life lost is too many.


This Pandemic, COVID 19, has brought to light so many things that were hidden or swept under the carpet.
This has led us as a people to realize that there is more gender-based violence than we can ever imagine.
As an outlet for all young people, teens, young adults, older adults we should encourage people to write about it. You can write a piece of prose, a short story, a poem, a play whatever to get your idea across to help rid us of this problem. If writing is not your thing, do a drawing, just do something and share it with me and the rest of the group at - eleutherasaysno@gmail.com
No matter where you are, your input can change a life or save a life.
Think of people who are being 'bullied' in this lockdown and have no one to speak to. Think of those who are not used to being locked in 24/7. Those who no longer have a job and can't process what is happening to them. Those who never asked for help and now depend on food banks, the government food program, neighbors from home and abroad.
Let's look at the situation closer, the frustration of parents and children.
Not everyone would reach out to a friend for help, many would suffer in silence.
Again, please express your feelings in writing, drawing, photography whatever mode of expression that you can use. Email your pieces to us. The email again is ...eleutherasaysno@gmail.com.
I look forward to seeing your presentations.
God Bless you all.
