Half-Birthday 2011 Midnight Meditation

Equality and justice are not the same. There is no equality.
Patience is letting excitement run its course, welcoming each new day as it comes.
Self-deprecation is prejudice. Prejudice is the enemy of confidence.
To understand is to stand beneath an idea, looking up in awe at its truth and relevance.
Truth is not uniform. Nor is understanding.
Words rationalize and classify to satisfy the need for order. More importantly perhaps, they dispel uncertainty by turning the intangible, tangible.
Emotion is nothing to be ashamed of for shame, not emotion, is weakness. Shame, like prejudice, is the enemy of confidence.
A name is a tool of reference, empty without a face to refer to. A face is a tool of reference, empty without a name to be called.
To leave any stone unturned may likely be to ignore the unlocked door to heaven.
The search for peace is as imperative as it is futile.
Denial is the enemy of understanding. It is the enemy of truth. It is the enemy of patience, justice, and peace.

In all, I ask myself: "Who am I to throw words around like normality and morality?"
