My God

Sometimes we need to be reminded of certain things because we have either forgotten or we have lost sight of what's important. Sometimes with relationships there is a build up of tension and anger and a lack of communication that it's difficult to see why couples get together in the first place but sometimes they just need to be reminded of what they love about each other and what they had in the beginning and the fun times they had together.  Sometimes we can be discouraged and lack motivation for the jobs that we do but we need to remember what is was that drove us onto that chosen career path and what we hoped we could accomplish and where it would lead so that we can ignite that ambition and that motivation once more.  Sometimes we need reminded of where we came from because we've lost sight of who we are and allowed money and fame to consume us and dictate who and what really matters and we need to remember our struggles and appreciate what we have.  Sometimes we nee...

                 We are so blind to what God has put in front of us, so distracted by the materialism of this world and by our own shallow existence that we have become more concerned by our own vanity and how we look and our outwardly appearance. Our lives are mostly centred around living a glamourous lifestyle, centred around fame, money and possessions, centred around sex and relationships, centred around reputation. Our lifestyles today are about keeping up with the joneses, being the toughest, being the best, w e've forgotten to see the beauty around us.  We've forgotten that we are beautiful with or without make up, inside and out. We've forgotten that fame is when we are idolised by our children, our friends and our family, knowing that whatever we do we will always be stars in their eyes.  We've forgotten the riches of life, the simple pleasures that cost nothing but mean the world - a  heartwarming hug, a passiona...

                  I  just watched a programme about the Kray twins and I wondered how anyone could look up to them how anyone could admire them and aspire to be like them.  If they knew everything they did, if they had seen the horror and pain and torture they inflicted on people would they still feel the same. Perhaps it's the idea of them that people admire, the power and control they had over people. People that think they are invinsable and no one can touch them because they can pick up a gun but to actually kill someone with that gun is another story. Some might feel tough because they carry a knife, to actually stab someone with that knife is another story but that is the reality of carrying a weapon and  our idea is nothing compared to the reality, the idea is sometimes better than the reality and what people think they know about the Krays is better than the reality of them.

                                   Racism - there is no place in this world for it and I think it honourable to stand up against it despite the fact that some people might go against you. We are all worthy of a place in this world and our race, creed, sexuality and beliefs shouldn't matter, we all deserve respect no matter who we are.  I n the past there had been many inspirational political and religious leaders; Martin Luther king jr, Mother Teresa, President Kennedy, John Lennon and Mahatma Gandhi. These leaders all fought for peace and equality, t hey fought for change against injustice, against racism and discrimination, against poverty and oppression, they  stood up for what they believed in, they took a stand and made a difference in the world. They made history.  Although racism and oppression and poverty and injustice still exist today, we have seen many positive change...
