What is beyond the Dark side of the moon? Perhaps if we shot a prism into the depth of space, our reflection would finally reach us. We would realize the brilliance of the prism, and celebrate our differences.
Uniqueness creates a human. Growing into manhood, my peers and I embraced "weirdness." As to be weird, is to be yourself - no boundaries, no borders.
For whatever reason, we have forgotten this basic principal of human existence on this planet. No two trees are alike. We celebrate the curves of a bonsai or the spots of a leopard. Yet we frequently judge humans based on their appearance, religion or job. We categorize each other depending on what shade of color our skin is, the food we eat, the God we pray to, the fabric we wrap our bodies and head in, etc etc etc etc etc. With time, we have progressively become more petty and judgmental; as a result, we are farther from one another.
I ask you, is this how you dream of Utopia?
Everyday I take action, either on MoChara or in a refugee camp, and I see the blatant bullshit we are living in. Because of a few idiots in power, the poison is everywhere, and it stinks. People are forced to live in this chaos we created, and slowly deteriorate as a result of the pollution of our thoughts in action.
Forget about it. Today I watched a group of Palestinian men protest "European Closed borders." These are beings that have given up everything: their farms, jobs, inheritance, saving, and homeland in search of a possibility that they might live a better life. We are disgusting. These are not murderers or terrorists, these are farmers, teachers, doctors, family men, etc.
I cannot give up on Humanity - as it is my duty to serve this planet and all she creates. I see the possibility for a future where we embrace one another in peace and love. It is your choice to dream what you dream. What do you choose? What kind of world do you wish your children to live in?
Begin dreaming now.
