The Modern Circle of Life

I now understand the root cause of the brokenness among our communities, families, marriages, friendships, workplaces, churches, schools, children etc.  Rather than approaching each situation and person with an outlook of purpose and opportunity, we prefer to perpetuate the pain, fears, and lack of self love that we have individually experienced. Instead of moving into our futures with zeal and optimism, we choose to go back to the place that we hurt and relive the circumstance by inflicting that pain, prejudice, and hatred upon another. 

Somewhere there is a little boy who was deprived of a childhood, and  is now a man that cannot demonstrate love to his children. Somewhere else there is a little girl who has lacked self esteem and continues to diminish her value as an adult by seeking unhealthy relationships. Somewhere else there is another who has harbored several feelings of not belonging and grows into an adult that is unable to love. There is also an adult who learned that it is okay to be critical, and in turn shows hatred to anything and anyone that is not the norm. As one can see this because a continuous cycle that impacts everyone and ruins our strength as a human race. 

Let us therefore learn to heal ourselves, forgive, and seek inner peace, so that we can self actualize and become our best self, while setting a much needed example for our children and future leaders.
