When day comes, we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never ending shade?
With the burden of the never ending turmoil, we must unite and put our differences aside as we walk into the valley of the future.
When we unite we can overcome any obstacle.
We have learned from past failures and successes.
We are adapting to the unknown.
The past hasn’t been perfect.
The mistakes have been made.
We the new generation of this melting pot have fulfilled a vision of our forefather, Martin Luther King Jr., where the ethnic immigrant’s daughter can dream of endless opportunities and overcome previous injustices.
And yes, there is still work to be done, but we are striving for the best.
We’re not perfect, but everyone in this world has a part to aspire to equality.
Aspire to a nation with fairness and humanity.
United we stand divided we fall, so let’s rise up and do our part.
Let’s put our differences aside and make a better example of ourselves.
It wouldn’t hurt to be a part of this journey.
Have pity for others as you would want others to have for you.
Grieve for others as you would do for your friends and family.
Hope for others in hurtful times as you would for your child.
Do it because it is the right thing to do, not because you’re being asked to do it.
Do it because what comes around goes around.
Do it for the inevitable higher power that you will one day ask for forgiveness from.
Let’s spare no effort to be open minded for the sake of our future.
Let’s create the new pathway to be on the right side of future history.
This path will bring a promising future for years to come.
If the example is to learn from your mistake, dare yourself to change as America has no place for old broken ways.
We have seen forces that would shelter our nation rather than change it.
We have seen the aftermath of divided battle and no one came ahead.
Instead there were lingering feelings of bottled up bitterness, resentment, and hatred.
The divided events were in history books for future generations to learn from, not to be repeated.
This country may now be hurting, but if we each put effort into fixing the damages left from the past, we may slowly see the light for the first time.
