Our disgusting State of the Nation Address
Our country is burning...it is in ruin...we are a corrupt and disgusting people...words fail me in my anger and embarrassment about what the world thinks of us.
However, I think we may have another option to the eye for an eye. Non-violent disobedience and growing our own selves.
Change in a country starts with one
person. Yes, I know our country is
burning and I know this is a formidable task to overcome, particularly in the
aftermath of our SONA. I have a million
negative things to say about that, but for today I am choosing another path.
Each country reflects either the pace or the
turmoil of its population. As one
person changes, so does the environment around them change. It is a law of
nature. Change in one brings about a
change in another. I have seen it work
time and time again when interacting with those who are extremely opposed to my
ideas. Through immense love, one person
has the power to change an entire population – it all starts with us. We cannot bring about peace to South Africa
until we have conquered the harshness and replaced it with peace within
ourselves. This is a HUGE task that we
can set ourselves to doing. Our job is
to first bring peace into our own lives and then we will become a gift to our
country, and perhaps even to the world. If you have ever studied quantum physics, you
will know that the flap of a butterflies wings can bring about a storm
somewhere in the world.
This task is an enormous one for me –
I get so worked up about injustice that the furthest thing from my mind is
peace, but I am going to try. Why not
join me in this most difficult task?
