I was watching the news recently, and I was heartsick at the news about women...the denial of the rights of American woman being the topic.
I had a blinding flash of the obvious this morning in relation to that news: Women can no longer fight to overcome the white man's power over them. They must become willing first to educate the white man...to work together toward that as their goal...so that they both become educated in unity.
I believe that women would do well to realize that to fight for their rights denies them their rights...to battle simply keeps the battle going...giving the appearance one day of winning, the next of losing. Recent events are proving that to be true...we are today fighting the battle we "won" in 1972.
The operative word here, of course, is "fight." So the first education must be of ourselves..."I will fight no more forever," Chief Joseph; "I will survive," Gloria Gaynor. There it is...in that, I conquer.
According to me, this is truth for all peoples of the world...that all must heed if our world is to improve and thrive. I do believe in the lessons taught by Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mahatma Gandhi...not to mention Christ Jesus, Sri Krishna and the Buddha.
Thank You.
