A time to Perservere

Listening to Ludovico Einaudi, I feel power and anger at the injustices that have faced and condemned black and brown bodies all over the world. 

I feel angry.
It is safe to say that life has been unforgiving but genuinely spectacular in that it has given me hope and a source of enjoyment. 

I have recently wondered why two distinct yet interrelated topics are constantly conjoined. There is rage when there is a chance of a power surplus in the wrong hands.

Why?

I’ve seen it in democracies, communistic societies, and even our day-old history of the typical consumer. 

Do we not complain about the person who sold food with anger?

Do we not understand diversity but state ‘there is no color’?

Do we not understand history for the imperfection it was and continues to be?

I wonder about all these things and more. 

I now see that my anger is a chance to forgive. To forgive people like Hiro forgave the villain (in Big Hero 6) for the injustices of life that pertained to murder in that story. There is no hope in rebellion without purpose and no fulfillment without love. I have learned that struggling with my anger has made me a better person because it taught me to forgive. This has molded my career towards my little ‘failures.’
