What does the City of Ferguson Missouri show us? It is telling, that's for sure.

It's a mess down there.  It really doesn't matter if one is a Democrat, a Republican, White, Black, old or young: the bottom line, it's a mess down there.

The question that keeps running through my mind is why?  I recognize the tragedy and hurt of this young man losing his life.  I also know there are two sides to every story, and somewhere in the middle the truth will be found.  What amazes me is that all the fighting, all the destruction is never going to bring this young man back to life, and yet this is how numerous people in this city are trying to get their point across.  I feel for the family for their loss, but never having lost a child I can only surmise what they must be going through.  My point in writing today is to try to put a "spin" on this tragedy and try to get those around this city, and elsewhere, to realize that there is an even greater tragedy happening as we speak.

This greater tragedy is that people down in this tiny city are acting from a place of anger, some fear, some ignorance, but mostly because they have yet to grasp this one salient point:  people do not understand the significance of who and what they are.  Wars begin because two sides cannot agree, one thinks they are right while at the same time the other side thinks the same thing.  It's not a competition, it's a lack of knowledge.  Now I'm not calling the people of Ferguson stupid, what I am saying is that those who have chosen to act out violently are not even remotely close to understanding the significance of life.  Once again I am not speaking about the life of this young man, but the life of each individual.  If one were to fully understand the reason for being here, the purpose for their own life, then it is doubtful that they would be acting out the way many have decided to act out.

Regrettably I believe there are people who will use almost any situation to justify their actions.  If they can blame their destructive behavior on something else then somehow they have earned the right to do whatever they want, to who ever they want, and when ever they want.  What ever happened to personal responsibility in this country?  It seems like it's always someone else's fault and they are just reacting to what will get them what they truly desire.  Please don't misunderstand me, I know there are many people in this city who are trying to allow cooler heads to prevail and stop the madness that is going on right now.  To those people I thank them and encourage them to continue in their battle.  To those who feel it is right to loot, burn, destroy property, shame on you, shame, shame, shame.

All the activity that is going on right now goes on all the time, all over this country.  Look at some of our major cities who host sporting events.  The home team wins and yet you have cars set on fire, overturned, almost riots in the streets.  And this happens when the home team wins, why?  You have groups who let little things set them off and then they justify their actions by saying that they are misunderstood, and they are acting out the only way they know how to get their point across. That is such bullshit I can hardly contain myself.  They are acting out because they sense they can get away with it because of all the other things going on around them.  Let's be truthful, people when given the opportunity, show their true nature, right or wrong.

Until such time as people understand that trying to justify destructive behavior is unjustifiable, we will continue to see anarchy.  Until such time as people recognize the insanity of what is happening in Ferguson, we will continue to scratch our head and ask why.  Until such time as people begin to understand and walk in their own destiny, we will have this type of activity and the result will be the same: needless blooded and violence.  I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of having to pay the price for other's inability or lack of desire to really figure out the purpose of life.

I have said this before but if every single person on the face of the earth was tuned in to their own destiny, was aware of their own significance, we would never have these actions, and this would be in large part because we would not have the activity that lead up to this horrendous event.  Think about it, a world where destiny reigned supreme.  We would have no wars, no poverty, no illiteracy, no anything that would be contrary to the true nature of the Creator of the Universe.

I know there are many who will discount what I am saying today, as is their right, but these people will be the same people who will be walking around years from now still trying to figure out why they are on this planet, and why now. It's all about destiny, your true destiny.  Maybe it's time we spread the word to the rest of the world that it is possible to fix things, and then just maybe, we can have a world we are proud of.  Think about that and let me know.
