Am I so alone with what I believe,
I believe that this country is filled with people who want
to help each other, I am filled with the belief that in each of us is a desire
to end suffering, I am of the belief that many people could and should be
assisted.
I have this believe that states when some one looks for
assistance, that within America
such help is there. I live where a non profit is tasked with supporting seventy
seven families, they have hired a for profit company to manage this help. This
help is to provide safe and antiquate housing for those who do not have much,
that can not for what ever reason make ends meet, they are tasked with
providing house units, which are safe.
A playground sets outside my door, it is filled with wood
chips, that in the four years of my family living here has never been, clean
updated or cared for. I live in a building that to stop the black mold growing
in the attics they have glued shut the access, they have glued closed from view
the mold and the issue it represents. I live in a place where that wood chipped
playground, has had years of children urinating in the chips, that bugs, crawl
in the chips. That every time my son of four goes to play with his friends,
that he comes in with breathing and sinus issues, as his little body rejects
the years of incompetence.
Yet even with these issues the company hires the most
inspired individuals, who attempt to make change and make do with what they
have, we have members of the community helping each other, even investing time
and energy to make a difference. A difference which is of importance, with
little or no funding these members of the community have somehow managed to
clear, clean or paint any issue visually seen. They joined to form a night
watch group to ensure safety. They are so willing, they shake hands and talk to
each other and support the community they now call home.
In seventy seven units there is represented 20 counties and
over ten languages, they live here together are building a community together.
It is this demonstration of compassion, represented for
people all over the world. I have a belief that this is not just reflected here
within this little community of seventy seven families. You see I believe that
in each of us every where world over we want to live to together and find
solutions to the many problems we face. We want to live in peace with each
other.
It is this demonstration of compassion that clearly calls
for attention world over, our need in our time of now is for humanity to claim
an end to violence of war, to claim just cause in peace. A peace which we at
the community level display, which thus would be reflected by our governments
by a voice from each community from which it springs.
Our discovery of better, our display of desire, our demonstrated
compassions cries for this action, to what rational excuse could be used to
show or demonstrate anything other than the true nature of humanity, the true
nature of being human, than coming together to learn from each other to support
each other in peace.
