George Floyd

Racial injustice
Where to begin, what to say, how to relate when your heart is aching, eyes tearing, and body reacting to the injustice screaming around you. As we fight against the worldwide pandemic, we are faced with unrest and racial injustice for George Floyd’s murder. The safety guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID is not comparable to the ache we all feel to bring justice for the death of an innocent man. The human spirit is at its best, coming together to mourn and fight for human rights. When it comes to humans, we are all the same, same blood runs through our veins, our hearts beat the same, hurt and feel the same. Why do some see a difference between us? Why some hate and act as if they are superior to others and kill to justify their belief?

Love and Fear are the two sides of good and evil. Love makes you durable, smart, compassionate, happy, and those who live by the guidance see the world with Love, appreciation, empathy, and respect. If you love your mother, father, siblings, and children, then you will respect all mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, and children. The whole world becomes your family, and you will not intentionally hurt another human being. You will never fear to love, show compassion, but will ache and feel the pain of others and become the saviors, guardians, and healers to all mankind without discrimination.
Fear is the Evil creation of disruption, hatred. Those who are consumed with Fear, lose all control of their heart and acts out with jealousy, doubt, and anger. They are blind to reality and hate the world. Fear makes them stupid, angry, resentful, and unhappy. They live by the guidance of Fear and spread violence, threats, doubt, and promote hate and destroy anything good in this world. They see the color of people as a threat, minorities as targets, innocence as weakness, and attack those that they fear to feel empowered. Deep inside, they think nothing to keep them secure but the rage. They hide their Fear through hate and act of violence to feel empowered. Abusing their spouse, children animal or a stranger to fulfill their ego. They are the bullies. So today, we see the disruption in our land of freedom. An innocent man is murdered. People take it to the streets to show Love, compassion, and find justice for the unthinkable act of angry, racist humans that used their Fear to feel empowered.
This act of violence is very close to my heart; I survived death in the hands of a bully, who felt superior to me due to my color of the skin, my race, and my standard. My employer showed her power over me, through physical abuse, starvation. She drew my energy to lighten her day. People who grow up without Love, and raised with hatred lose their heart and reasoning in their head. They grow up as bullies, who attack the innocent, vulnerable people, with rage, hate. I came to this land looking for freedom, and how often I heard people telling me “go back to where you came from,” there are many who showed compassion, Love and acceptance and gave me the strength to survive through the abuse that left me physically broken. This is the Love I see in people, and I see on the streets today. The good standing up for justice, fairness, and the right of the human being. Fear never wins, but Love will.
I mourn with all of you fighting to bring justice, risking your life to change and discredit the violence of discrimination. Love is more potent than Fear and will conquer anything any battles of injustice.

I offer my deepest condolence to George Floyd’s family for their tragic loss, the pain, and suffering in their hearts. His name will live for centuries to come with the change he will bring to the country!
