Today is a good day to live

     I can remember when I was a kid I heard stories about members of my family who survived World War 2. When the war was over they called relatives here in America asking for any kind of donations from shoes to money because they were left with virtually nothing but the worn clothes on their backs.

  
    It makes me wonder if Genocide has become a word that defines our society, I mean have we become a society that constantly expresses some form of suffering? Someone said to me the other day, “If you were with us in Nazi Germany you would have been in a concentration camp too.”

   So, am I supposed to feel good about that?

    It's just a few days after Thanksgiving and another shooting has occurred, this time in Colorado. I still haven't had the chance to digest the many Face book posts by Native Americans who are offended by Thanksgiving as being a day that celebrates Genocide.

     When I was growing up there was a commercial about a man who held an egg in his hand and said, “This is your brain.” Then he cracked that egg on the side of the skillet and it sizzled once he dropped it inside as he said, “This is your brain on drugs, any questions?”

   Drugs can kill brain cells and so can a Genocidal mentality. Every time a Genocide has occurred, an ethnic cleansing of a culture of people in essence we have lost millions of brain cells. The global brain is losing it's capacity.

  
    Suffering, shouldn't we have gotten over it by now?

    How can a society wake up if we are all still drugged in a suffering mentality? Where are the walks for wellness verses the walks for disease? At what point do we say enough is enough and today I am focusing on the life given to me this moment in another magnificent day?

    Another chance to be immensely grateful, another opportunity to smile and spread inner joy and that is healthy and harmonious, and most of all you are worth only what you can give yourself. The Universe can only give you what you allow in, and today is a good day to live.
