"YOU CAN'T SIT HEAR"
Discrimination. So much is written about it, much is said about, much is criticized and sometimes much is done. However, it's never really enough to eleviate its existence.
While viewing through the many racing thoughts of my mind that phrase tobbled in and surfaced on my concious. It's a phrase from the movie Forrest Gump, but I'm aware it's a phrase that has been very real in the lives of many races and religions of people. Discrimination has many targets; and though many people may not own up to being a person who discriminates --deep within almost everyone has experienced some happenings of it. If we allow it, discrimination can be controlled and it can be erased from our own individual person.
To rid oneself of this lingering element of society we have to truly have a true asset of love. Love is one of the strongest defenses in life. Love has much writtten about it too, and when we love others -- race, creed and or even religious practices will be less prevelant in our actions toward them. Forrest Gump's best friend was Black and in his love for Bubba, Forrest gained a remarkable gift of wealth and love. Bubba's sincerity never turned Forrest away perhaps it was because he knew those words all too well. "You can't sit hear." Fascinating like the box of Forrest's life's comparison of chocolates..."You never know...what you're gonna git."
Gaining much wealth through friends is a treasure unmeasurable. Loving those who are different you'll be facing discrimination with showing and finding ..love. You'll find the FREEDOM from discrimination and you'll finally be able to sit down and rest from it.
"Sit here...we'll blow bubbles"OOOO ....0000000OOoooooLooooO....V.....E.
"Today there might be someone waiting for you to show some Love."

@ Sister Miisrael,
[Discrimination has many targets; and though many people may not own up to being a person who decriminates deep within almost everyone has experienced some happenings of it.]
Many Black Americans are guity of discrimination against Mexicans and other people of color from African countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, etc. I've heard stories from my African colleauges of their interactions with us and how we behave ignorantly towards them at times.
All I can do is apologize for this behavior, because I find it quite embarrassing. Why do we sometimes discriminate against other people of color when we are the first to cry about discrimination from the "the White man"? Puhleezeee....
Sister Miisrael you are so right in stating the following:
[Loving those who are different you'll be facing discrimation and showing finding ..love. You'll find the freedom from discrimation and you'll be able to
sit down and rest from it.]
Today I have so much freedom and I embrace many nationalities learning from them and being embraced by them. Recently I attended the visitation services of one of my patients who died. The dgt really blessed me tremendously as she embraced me with tears in her eyes saying that I am now part of their family.
P.S. Ms. Alice may your soul rest in eternal peace in your home land of India.
