This I Believe

My life has changed in profound and indirect ways in the past few years. I may not be living as my true self, however, I am more open and honest with my feelings about Social issues and having compassion for others who do live their lives under scrutiny and bias.
Clearly the significance of this is simply living with honor and grace and sharing more of myself with people who share themselves with me. For all the punditry and proselytizing rhetoric we are inundated with from well meaning "leaders" of Political and Religious notoriety, we are subjected to increasing levels of bias and discriminatory threats and hatred from our fellow Human Beings. 
Come on, people. Life is like a Beatles song. John Lennon said it best. "All you need is Love, Love. All you need is Love!"
It doesn't matter who you love, as long as you do love. 

End of the decade

The first decade of the 21st Century is passing. As frequently noted via media, reflection upon events, personalities, and catastrophes will ultimately lead to wondering, "How will we make it through 2011?" 
Perseverance. Dedication. Commitment. 
As Winston Churchill remarked during a particularly dark time during World War II, "we must Keep Buggering ON!"
Well said. KBO.
