More Than Just The Number In The Year Needs To Change

article image placeholderWe Must Change More Than Just The Year
If we hate the same way we hated in 2020, we will continue to get the hate and destruction in 2021. It's that simple. In the words of Rev. And Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. The question is, will we learn to live together regardless of skin color, political affiliation, sexual preference, gender, religious beliefs, ethnic background or any other quote ism unquote?

Powerful words!

And we're taking steps towards these changes that we want to see. It's going to take a lot more work and a lot more time. But the more dialogue we can facilitate in a meaningful way, the better. I just gave you a follow. So I'm really excited to hear more about your philosophy and what you want to see out of the world. I appreciate your insight

Whatever is my right as a man is also the right of another

I like that everyone is born equal. I live in Australia. We're watching your struggles in America with shock and horror. I'm not going to go into politics because it's not something that I feel qualified to discuss, particularly. But ultimately, I've believe in equality for everyone. Good words, good words, amazingly spoken. Well done. I'm glad you put this swell on here

The reality is a lot of people are under the impression that now that the presidency is changing, things will fall back to normal. But the reality is a lot more needs to happen. It is not just about a change of President, but also it has to be be about the change in people's attitudes and thinking and fighting for what is right for the future of this country

It was just much more powerful when you associate with your voice with it and really love what you have to say. And I totally agree with you. The one thing with America that I see one of the biggest flaws that I think we have as an American society is the inability to recognize warning signs. And I think there's been a lot of warning signs here, and I think sometimes, especially in the financial sector, that I've seen where I worked for years

European-centric = against migrants...

So that's a strange way of putting things together. But yes, that's one of my reactions. But you're suddenly referring to some speeches you've heard or certain mentality. There is a way of associating any immigrants who is nonwhite as a non European anyway

Strength does not need to be truthful: they are right anyway...

Another reaction to your post. Allen, I don't think human nature is going to change. There is this arrogance in many powerful people. Some acknowledge it, some don't, but the strength, the reason of the strong will always be the same as the fable goes. Yes, I'm not sure what it is in English, but in French that's the way it is fabled by La Fontaine. The reason of the strong ones is always the best or the better

Hey, Mark, this is really a great conversation that you started, but it really goes much deeper than 2021 or 2020 versus 2021. It really started at the beginning of mankind. It's a question you've got and I want or I've got and you can't have it's just not a question of Caucasians versus black. It's a question of Caucasians versus Caucasians. It's a question of people of color versus people of color. It's a question of religion versus religion
