Unity

BIRDS AND PATTERN

by

I have seen enough animation to the point that I now know that birds fly in formation and most times they create a pattern, one that is very beautiful.

The formation of these birds tells me something: unity is beautiful. That’s just me though. Tell me what you think. This is Daily Wisdom Words Picture Writing Exercise, a monday edition with Abuh Monday Eneojo. I will be your host.

INDEPENDENCE “ONE DAY A YEAR, OR 365 DAYS?”

by

INDEPENDENCE IS OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY, THE FOURTH OF JULY OR “INDEPENDENCE DAY”IS ABOUT FREEDOM OF CHOICE AND INDEPENDENCE FROM DIVISION.  INDEPENDENCE IS CRUCIAL, AND EASY TO LOSE WHEN YOU’RE A COUNTRY, WORLD, OR JUST YOU.  I KNOW FROM A PERSON’S STANDPOINT HOW EASY YOU CAN LOSE YOUR OWN INDEPENDENCE.  NO ONE CAN TAKE FROM US WHAT IS OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHT;  BEING A FREE PERSON

WE HAVE TO “GIVE PERMISSION” FOR OUR POWER AS A COUNTRY OR AN INDIVIDUAL TO BE TAKEN AWAY WITHOUT FORCE.  WE HAVE THE ULTIMATE SAY IN THIS.  THE COUNTRY I LIVE IN, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS SET UP FOR INDEPENDENCE AND SO ARE WE AS INDIVIDUALS.  SOMETIMES TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT, ALLOWING OTHERS TO BE IN CONTROL OF OUR COUNTRY OR OUR DESTINY AS AN INDIVIDUAL IS NOT THE BEST OR RIGHT WAY FOR US ALTHOUGH IT IS SOMETIMES THE EASIEST WAY.  TO HAVE THE POWER OF CHOICE, MEANS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS OUTCOME.  IT MAY SEEM EASIER TO LET OTHERS MAKE OUR DECISIONS FOR US, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT. 

BECAUSE I HAVE SLOWLY WATCHED MY OWN INDEPENDENCE SLIP AWAY IN MANY CODEPENDENT RELATIONSHIPS, IS NOT THEIR ISSUE, IT IS MINE.  IT IS EASIER TO COUNT ON YOUR PARTNER TO MAKE DECISIONS ON THE DIFFICULTIES WE ALL ENCOUNTER IN LIFE.  TODAY REMINDS ME THAT IT IS SIMPLY NOT HEALTHY TO RELY ON OTHERS TO MAKE ALL MAJOR LIFE DECISIONS IF YOU ARE AN ADULT. 

BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER, I WANT TO LOOK AT THE DEFINTION OF INDEPENDENCE IN OUR WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND ALSO THE DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION. 

WEBSTER DEFINITION OF INDEPENDENCE-THE FACT OR STATE OF BEING INDEPENDENT.   2.  FREE FROM OUTSIDE CONTROL, NOT DEPENDING ON ANOTHER’S AUTHORITY.  (OF A COUNTRY) SELF-GOVERNING. 

DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION-DEFINING WHO YOU ARE WITHOUT THE INFLUENCE OF ANYONE BUT YOURSELF.  2.  ACCEPTING THE RESPONSIBILITY AND REPERCUSSIONS OF MAKING DECISIONS AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF ITS RESULT. 

INDEPENDENCE DAY STARTED ON JULY 4TH, 1774 WHEN THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE WAS SIGNED AND EXECUTED.  “WE THE PEOPLE” IS HOW THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE STARTS IN ITS WORDING.  THERE IS NO “DIVISION”.  WE DON’T RECOGNIZE AT TIMES THIS FIRST SENTENCE.  THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE DOES NOT SAY, “WE, THE WHITE PEOPLE OR WE, THE BLACK PEOPLE”. 

“WE” MEANS IN THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE ALL OF US IN THE “UNITED STATES”.  WE LIVE IN A COUNTRY THAT IS DIVIDED AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT BEING “UNITED, YET INDEPENDENT”.  WE HAVE THE FREEDOM TO MAKE OUR OWN CHOICES WITH OUR OWN VOICES”.  LET US THINK OF INDEPENDENCE DAY TODAY AS MORE THAN JUST FIREWORKS, MORE THAN JUST A HOLIDAY.  LET US ALL REMEMBER WE STAND FOR SOMETHING GREATER;  BEING INDEPENDENT FROM ONE ANOTHER, YET UNITED IN AN IMPORTANT CIVIL LIBERTY;  FREEDOM.  WE ALL NEED TO UNITE BUT IN THAT SAME CONCEPT, RESPECT OTHERS FOR THEIR INDEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM OF CHOICE. 

TODAY, LET US REMEMBER THIS AND RESPECT ONE ANOTHER AS THE INDIVIDUAL THEY ARE WHETHER WE AGREE WITH THEM OR NOT.  THE GREATEST RELATIONSHIP A COUNTRY HOLDS, IS THE HONOR OF RESPECTING DIFFERENCES WHILE HAVING A “UNITED FRONT”.  THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING TODAY AND HAVE A WONDERFUL FOURTH OF JULY AND INDEPENDENCE DAY. 

REMEMBER WE ARE ALL TOGETHER IN ONE WORLD, BUT INDEPENDENT FROM ONE ANOTHER IN OUR BELIEFS, DECISIONS AND CHOICES.  WE NEED TO HONOR THIS NOT ONLY FOR OUR COUNTRY, BUT FOR OURSELVES.  PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT, POEM OR OPINION BENEATH THIS POST WHERE YOU CAN BE THE ONE TO “JOIN THE DISCUSSION”, OR START ONE UP.  IT IS YOUR CHOICE AT THE END OF THE DAY.  IT IS, AFTERALL, OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHT AS A PERSON.

DIVISION “A COUNTRY DIVIDED”

by

Why is division such an important daily wisdom word?  Division means the opposite of uniting.  We see groups of protesters doing this, but we also see protesters opposing what the other group stands for.  This is division of the people in its worst form.  Division means we cannot stand together.  It also means we no longer can agree to “disagree”.  The news is full of slander for each candidate only making division more aggressive.  There is more aggression between the police and those they are supposed to protect than ever.  So how did this come to be?  

Our leaders are our Presidents.  If we see our leaders encouraging division rather than unity, the problem only gets worse.  Unfortunately division has a trickle-down effect.  Therefore, not only is our country divided, our family and friends become the same.  This is the example being put forth by our Leader’s trickling down to a small group.  Black lives do matter and yes, there is more politics and physical harm to black men, especially.  This leads to further division, especially when the courts do not sentence perpetrators appropriately for their crimes.  Death is Death and if that death is unjust, whomever caused it, even in uniform must be punished. 

Let us take a look at the meaning of division in our Webster Dictionary and the daily wisdom words definition.

Webster Definition-1.  disagreement between two groups producing tension and hostility. 

Daily Wisdom Words Definition-a lack of agreeing on social issues as a whole and separation becomes a large result of division.  

The more we separate the weaker the links that held us together to begin with.  Is what we stand for sometimes necessary not to fight for?  This is a powerful question and one I immediately would have agreed with years ago.  I now think there needs to be some space and time between these groups so thought rather than violence and anger is peaceful and this includes those who are responsible to destress a crowd of individuals fired up together on two sides with opposing opinions.  If I personally reacted rather than responded (thinking before action), much of my anger would play out in a productive manner.  

Controversy and division are part of a “bigger picture”.  We need to ask ourselves this.  Is the cause we are fighting for greater than the global message we are sending with division amongst all of us.  I feel anger too.  I want so much to write with this anger, but I am doing my very best to see what is best for our country in spite of the leadership message we are getting.  Cutting pay for police officers only creates more isolation.  We are punishing a whole group instead of the individuals responsible for it.  We also need to ask ourselves this.  Do we open our eyes for the “bigger picture”, (our country) or do we close them in spite of what is happening still fighting for our message but in positive, productive methods.  

I hope I have been able to get a message across without isolating my readers.  I am NOT saying, don’t fight for what you believe in;  I am saying fight with love in your heart, not anger.  With unity we can do so much.  If we wish to predict the future, we must look at what has worked for us as a nation in the past.  What are your feelings about this post today?  Do you agree or disagree with me?  Before reacting to this message, give yourself a few minutes so logic can override anger.  We must let love be stronger than hatred.  We obviously need to change something and that is a point we can all agree on.  

May God bless ALL of you.  Samantha Leboeuf/Daily Wisdom Words
