Not adding my hot air to this fire.

These past 4 years we have seen rights violated, citizens killed by the very people who are sworn to protect and serve, but each time something like this happens people pray, riot or protest. But nothing changes, just the face of the next victim. Afterwards we all go back to our day to day lives with the hope that it's not going to happen to us or someone we care about. And then it happens again, If this is so important, why are we electing the same people to power? Why are still fighting over the same idiotic concepts? Why are acting the same way. How can you expect the benefit of a doubt when can't be bothered to give one. We want to say that it's mainly race, class, religion, gender or sexual preference, but it's simpler than we make to be. You can't just pray for an answer, you have to also look for one. You can't just protest, you have remove the policies and the people that cause you to protest. You can't riot, because that's what the opposition wants you to do. To act like savages, to destroy and stay blind to the world around you.  If you want change it must happen with you first, with conversations about the uncomfortable subjects, finding common ground with someone that's different from you and improving yourself. Not to become superior, but to gain balance and harmony with everything in your surroundings.  If you real change then you have to be flexible, you do not have to bend completely to your foe's will, but only make your foe understand that every gain made from you there will be a greater lose from them. Ture power does not come from a mob, a gun, or a shout, it comes from inside one's self.  I wrote this today because I'm not going to comment on what happened in South Carolina, there are too many opinions flying around on that. Go form your own opinions.
