They don’t walk like us, they don't
talk like us and they don’t look like us.
Why must we hate one another when people in church tell me I’m their
brother. Paraphrasing Darius Rucker (a/k/a
Hootie from Hootie and the Blowfish) excerpted from the song Drowning.
Maybe that’s the problem, hating
everybody who doesn’t look like them. Conformity, the watchword of the
insecure. Don’t change anything. I can’t deal.
Why do I have to accept people who don’t fit neatly into my puzzle? They only know right as what they believe;
everything else is wrong. Now that’s WRONG!!!
Feel like you’re drowning in a sea
of fear? Want to turn and run away? Don’t you dare turn away. Don’t give them the satisfaction! Welcome to the “belligerent” portion of our
program. Brought to you by our sponsor
the Neurosurgical Society who offers, frontal lobotomies for those who need
more than a behavioral adjustment.
You can’t give in to the
pressure. Why? You ask. Because giving in to pressure will become
your epithet. You don’t have to rub
anyone’s nose in the fragrance of reality.
You do have to carve out your little piece of peaceful existence. And when you establish your peaceful
existence you will encourage coexistence and eventually peaceful coexistence.
You don’t need a “Coexist” bumper
sticker with all the funky symbols. You
do need to live what you believe and believe what you live. I’ve had my fill of phonies, those who should
know better but insist on playing the part of the clueless. My recent professional experience with one
tests my faith in human nature. Chameleons are perfect for eluding predators. There should be no predators in our midst.
“Oh you young and foolish scribe!”
You’ve got me half right! There are predators in our midst? I’m shocked, stunned, speechless and all the
other “S” words that are pertinent to my incredulity.
Proceed with caution. When in doubt ask a friend for their
insights. You might be surprised that
some of those who approach with honey-flavored words dripping from inviting
lips might be hiding fangs that will cut you deep and long. Experience teaches lessons that are sometimes
painful. Learn them well to minimize the
number you must endure.
Be safe out there. Never assume that you can be unassuming.
Enjoy responsibly!
Love and hugs, Nikki DeCaro
