Domino Cards

Can you see it? Can you feel it?

Things have been happening around the world like cards strategically placed, falling like dominoes.

"The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses." -Malcolm X

To be honest, I have not watched television for about the last 4 weeks. I don't consider it a huge loss. I don't take the media at face value, as I hope the majority of you don't as well. From all the things that happen in our country, as well as the world, it says something about what "they" decide to show us and how "they" show us. Much more important is keeping into consideration things avoided or hidden. Read between the lines and keep your mind open. Be aware of a lot more.

Diversions and manipulations. A huge clue is emotion. How the information and situations emotionally affect groups of people. It can cause them to act or react. It is known that our power comes in numbers, and effort is placed in keeping our numbers low.

There are whole demographics that are indifferent, distracted, busy, and/or stressed. There are communities split by hate, fear, pride, and/or selfishness. The majority of these underlying issues are instigated and strategically placed. Why?

It is known what we can be when we are united for a cause. What is keeping us from being united in a cause? A question we can all primarily ask ourselves, secondly for those we associate with.

Once we are united, what is the best course of action? Effective and tactical. None of us should be imprisoned or injured, experience loss or death, especially when the cause is not behind you.

Food for thought. I hope that we all become more aware. We should be careful not to act on emotion, but intentionally and effectively. That we all read between the lines and keep our minds open to what we encounter in our lives and in our communities. We need to be able to reach out to each other, communicate, and make something happen. Something different.
