Today I share with you one of my favorite M.J songs. I think it essential that we realize how the planet and all her inhabitants are consociated. We are just as connected to #CecilTheLion as we are to Trayvon Martin, Renisha Mcbride, Dillion Taylor, Freddie Gray or nameless other victims of murder. Or the gay couple who were denied their marriage license in Kentucky as we are to any homeless person on any city street. We are just as connected to the #SyrianRefugees or any other refugee for that matter of fact ,as we are to the vast amount of global forest, oceans, seas, lakes, deserts, mountains and so forth. Love, respect, emotion and intellect are the nexus that holds daily interactions together. A glue of sorts for humanity. The complete loss of respect, love, emotion or intellect of 2 or more groups are the cause of the ongoing problems of war, religious, economic, and political oppression. When 2 or more work against the uplifting cause of another, then it becomes systematic. And any man or woman who operates on a system of prejudice and bias are using only 1/8 of human potential. It is far more productive for us all, to practice fairness and empathy. Just as one has family members who may have beliefs that may coincide with ours, or practices that we may find odd. We become sad or irate should we hear of any wrong doing committed against them. Despite not always having a meeting of the minds, it doesn't take away from the fact that we love, pray for and wish them all the best. Well, all people of planet Earth are our family.....our big, crazy family...that we love threw it all !!! Rest in peace M.J.
