I don’t know exactly what future we face, as in we the human race. As that is the race that identify with. I mean yea we all have some kind of blood in our vanes from all over the world. But I was born in america and consider myself an american. And I’m a member of the human race. I for myself just can’t conform to hating any certain group of people for the color of their skin, where their from, what they wear, their beliefs, or any other reason. What I’ve noticed is in society, in here, in life. We are so busy looking for things and reasons to devide ourselves, and associate with. That we forget about what life is about. More often than not, we as people have more things in common than we don’t. Usually we have a common denominator. Almost everyone is dividing in to groups. That just divide and tear us apart. I guess we forget that our strength is in our numbers, and our unity. We just need to love one another, be accepting of one another, be good to one another. And everything will be alright. My mama told me it takes more energy to be mean, than kind. Well if we all just try to be kind to one another, we can change the world. I’ll try by starting with myself, and others. If we can start by being kind to, and taking care of ourselves. Then we can pay it forward. I think I always struggled with this, because I didn’t even care about myself. So let’s all remember to be open minded, and to try to place peoples principles, before their personality. Let’s give one another a chance, and not ostracize each other.
My names James Douglas I’m just a guy who is not supposed to be segregated from society.
” There are two races of men in this world, but only these two – the “race” of the decent man and the “race” of the indecent man. Both are found everywhere they penetrate in to all groups of society. No group consists entirely of decent or indecent people. In this sense, no group is of “pure-race”-

Great post, great quotation at the end too. We have ALL fallen short of what God intended us to be- that’s what we have in common. And we should be united in creating heaven on earth while we walk here. What you say about self-hatred breeding hatred generally makes perfect sense to me. Keep writing.
James, I try to get a post in every day, sometimes two. And also respond to others I have viewed. Stopping yesterday at the one above yours. However, in one of my responses to a depressed person, I told them that I was wrecked after my mate Karen passed in 2009. For almost two years the VA tried to get me help with Psychiatrists and Psychologists. But once I read Frankl’s book, I understood that I had it within me to persevere. You have a bright future if you hold true to loving mankind. Even the bad ones.
It may have been a soap box you were on when writing this post, but I don’t think so. I feel the love dude, and I will pray that if no one gets released but one, it’s you.
God Bless you and keep you.
