I fight for level playgrounds on shaky earth feet trembling with underground tremors They say the earthquake never happened… It’s pure insanity… finding balance with manacled limbs fighting for rights never granted… Fair play assumes equality But I don’t live in an equal world…

Progress is a process of continuous improvement, if not wiped out by a regressive move. A culture is also defined by what people. are allowed to do and get away with.

Gaslighting is all about that. It also helps to erase guilt and shame of history. Thank you, Dwight!

When tragedy strikes, often we blame God. Turning the other cheek never seems to be helpful. Fairness, like truth, sometimes has to emerge from within. The love you receive should be equal to the love you give.

I guess respect is the foundation stone. It prevents riding roughshod over others. But power is a different game with different rules.

No, we cannot say that life is fair… but I hope where everyone can grow to their potential and be respected for that.
