oppression

It leads to a desire to exact revenge. What though is revenge?

In our youth, and until we learn, it begins with destruction. Sometimes as we grow older that is too where it ends, but true victory is when you teach your opponent something. Thus, true revenge is creating the good inside where the hate once lived.

How to exact it remains mysterious. As I have said many times, when you come upon two paths, generally the easy path is the wrong one. One must be strong to endure hardships, and to persevere throughout it all. When twisting the logic and the kindness of good people, one only leads themselves into darkness.

Once said was, "Ignorance is bliss." However, ignorance is also fear, which is the breeding ground for hate.

The true goal should be to do away with ego, sense of entitlement, and desire for things rather than contentment with life and those around you.

Many cultures have I been brought through, have I the pleasure to observe, have I the opportunity to participate in, and many show the same logic.

Everywhere it is help the next do better. Whether it's the next generation, the person next to you, or your next chance, one must simply help do better.

This is a path many cannot comprehend, nor do the have the desire to understand.

Once I heard, "You cannot learn anything until you are ready to learn," and, "by learning everything you know nothing."

Much of my day is spent in observation. With my current situation, I am troubled, and especially on staying centered in my emotions. However, I can see that many who are both older, and younger, have yet to realize that they are not outwardly or inwardly ready to learn. They may take classes and may get knowledge, but they assume they earn that knowledge, rather than it being given to them.

The humblest of people invent, and then give freely. With a nation build on greed, how does the next generation stand a chance with the values of capitalism?
