What are you reaching for?
People everywhere are reaching in multiple directions to attain the lives they desire.
I honor that reach as long as it doesn't oppress, hurt, or harm others. I believe there's room for multiple life roads and good living. I'm not a fan of one-size-fits-all solutions for the most part. I love the diversity that we represent as a people.
What I hate is the fact that some make stepping on others, manipulation, lawlessness, and greed their credo--#trump is a model of this corrupt behavior, and those that support him with time, money, and allegiance are similarly corrupt. They are an affront to good living, respect, and humanity--they are a danger to good people the world over.
In every way possible, I want to work for the greater good. That means asking the question with every move, Does hit help or harm? I want to choose help, not harm.
As I think of the days ahead, I am glad that the House passed the recovery bill, and let's hope the Senate does the same. That will bring support to many who need it. I am also happy that the vaccine roll-out continues and appears that it will get better in the days ahead. This too is positive. And, we have a humane President and the majority of folks in Congress are humane as well. Yes, we have far too many lawless bigots in public office--the kind of people that continually step on the downtrodden or oppressed to prop up their power and privilege, but we have many who know this is wrong and are leading us to better.
In my own life, there are many, many good people and good supports--people working to take care of their families, contribute to their communities, and live good lives. This is positive as well.
As for me, I have a long to-do list to accomplish, actions that will make me more able to contribute in ways that I believe are positive. I just have to keep cheering myself on, learning what I can, and doing the good work possible. Onward.
