Because I.

Ego. To be human and make mistakes. To learn and to grow from them. Seemingly… but what defines, defies growth? Is it acceptance of what is, or what it could be? In all of our years of existence, evolution is undeniable. As a species we have always looked for justification to our actions. This person did this, the Bible says that, if it were this way, this wouldn’t be that. And yet truly, to be conscientious of our own affect on our fellow man and women. Would the world be so fractured? We have a duty to the world to be more than our own auto- piloted, self judgements. To prove ourselves wrong. To allow ourselves space to feel, to grow and to understand that nothing in this world is real. Religions are a construct of humans to justify their actions, in the name of righteousness, by persecuting our fellow man if they don’t do as “we" say (in the name of). What is religion? Fancy word for today’s “crowdsourcing"

Whom can we vilify for our own ridiculous justifications for making other people feel less than?

Less if u wear a mask, less if u don’t.

Why does are ego fight so hard to make us feel greater than our neighbor? And why don’t we see the wolves hiding inside every single one of us? Why don’t we question ourselves more? Question everything! But in saying that, I don’t mean question everyone else… I mean question you. Question everything that runs through your mind. We truly have all the power in the world, but unless we master ourselves… then truly… where is the hope?
