"If people can be taught to hate, they can be taught to love. But we need to know, you can’t erase history. So, let’s learn from it and be damned sure it doesn’t happen again." — Ms. Opal Lee, Civil Rights Activist, Grandmother of Juneteenth and honorary national co-chair of the Juneteenth Legacy Project ~ Good morning friend, Wednesday blessings
"Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It’s a celebration of progress. It’s an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible—and there is still so much work to do." — Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States and Civil Rights Attorney
Once there was a little village where lived a blind man. Although, he was very blind and couldn’t have been bothered by darkness at night. He did, however, always carry with him a lighted lamp when he went out at night.
One fine night, he encountered a young group of travelers returning from supper. The traveler immediately noticed he was blind but was surprised he had a lighted lamp in his hand. They began making remarks about him and mocking him. Finally, one of them asked, “Hey, Man! Why do you have a lantern if you’re blind?!”
“Yes,” the blind man admitted, “I am blind and have no vision. And this lamp may not be of any use to me. But, bright light being carried by me is for people like you who can see. At night the streets are dark, and you may not see the way. You may even not see the blind man coming and bump into me. That is why I am carrying this lantern.”
The young travelers apologized for their conduct.
Moral: Before judging others, we should consider things from their perspective. Always be polite and open-minded.
BE THE LIGHT FOR ANOTHER LOVE AND BLESSINGS .THE WORLD NEEDS IT NOW MORE THAN EVER!
Low doses of Steroids & Antibiotics thi week! Haze is dissipating, things are bright & clear, almost TOO clear!!! When looking into a mirror I can see every single line, blemish, mole & imperfection! Not sure if I like this! Then I get to get a prescription for new glasses. Not really positive if I like all the results. Actualy if there wasn't the threat of the Cataracts gettting worse I'm not so sure I would have had this done.
