A great many believe that all good deeds will be rewarded, and bad deeds will be punished. Given this rationale, some may never be fully compensated for the good deeds that they have dispensed. Good deeds being rewarded is very vague, in my opinion. It depends on how one quantifies reward, and there could be varying degrees of it. And whether good or bad befalls us is completely random.

Life requires balance and sitting on the edge or end of anything, you will fall off if you don’t do the right thing.
“Thank you for coming, ladies,” Joshua Elliot said, pulling out the empty seat between Carla and Liza.
“This better be delicious because I just postponed a date with Mr. Right,” Carla warns, snatching the menu the waiter left after serving them water and mix nuts.
Liza adds, “And I had to reschedule Rick Fox because you said it was important.”
“Girl, stop lying,” Susan said, slapping her on her left arm as everyone erupted in laughter.
“I…
Classism prepared me for racism. One attacks your skin color, and the other goes after your social and economic status. Both are an injustice to humanity.
Reading: What Do You See When You See Black Skin? by Jesse Wilson
This message is essential, even more so today, because we need to fight and take back our identities which so often are bestowed upon us before we have an opportunity to shine. As any Person of Colour knows, there is no denying that white supremacy dictates there is a category or a box for you. Jesse Wilson

“You talk too much!” Christine Lewinsky reached out and slapped her oldest son on his mouth with the back of her right hand. “What? You got a vagina? Is that why you can’t shut up?”

Tears flooded eight-year-old Elan’s eyes as he bites onto his lower lip, unaware that his lips were bleeding. He turned away from his mother, crying.

You and I know many humans who reign. Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby are the two most famous now. They are still alive, living their first death.
Steven Grant read the emotions of his long-time friend facing him, then asked, “What is wrong now?”
“Why do you think something is?” Retired Football Hall-of-Famer Jason Miles demands.
“Well,” Steven said, easing closer, resting his elbows on his desk, “I am your go-to person when you have all things difficult in your life. And over the past fifty years, you have had a lot. …
Life sometimes will interrupt Fate and Destiny to save us when we live our lives with a positive purpose and meaning
Angela loaned her ears to Joyce as she complained about a recent fight with her married daughter. Living with our children can be a blessing and a curse. It’s another stage of life that isn’t important enough to discuss.
She grumbled, “It’s difficult living with your children and seeing them disregarding all of the ethics, morals, and disciplines you raised them with and remain sane.”
For all the wrong and stupid mistakes children make, their parents are blamed for their irresponsible behavior. Mothers get most of it.
Many parents are applauded for their children’s achievements, actions, choices, and decisions without…
Each of us has our own reason to want or wish someone dead. For many of us, it’s just out of frustration and anger.
According to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death
Death is the permanent, irreversible cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism.
Pain is associated with death, but so is joy. Certain circumstances or situations are attached to both emotions.
Someone said that death is a must and not a gift. Each of us has our own reason to want or wish someone dead. For many of us, it’s just out of frustration and anger. If words were bullets, and our mouths were guns, humans would add to population control by the seconds, and some in masses too.
A dictator is a leader who…
Give and take. Life and death. Come and go. Up and down. Win and lose. These aren’t just words. They are Balance speaking to us, demanding to be recognized.
Inspired by: Bob Pepe- The Giver.
I work long shifts and drive all over the place to bring them what they needed. I am the GIVER, not the TAKER.

And his story touches my heart. I, too, am a Giver, and I enjoyed myself. Sometimes it’s not by choice because I had more takers than givers. Giving is the right thing to do, whether you have a little or a…
We must remind humanity that our generosity is vital for the continued existence of a civilized society.
The world is witnessing history raging and repeating itself in Afghanistan amid a deadly Pandemic. It seems as if humanity will never be out of pain and suffering. Listening to the words of many who think the Americans should leave the Afghans to their fate hurts.
They are humans, and it breaks my heart to see what they are going through, especially the innocent children.
I learned that life would find a way to reciprocate against those quick to judge without understanding. Life has its way of teaching humans what’s necessary.

If you are understanding toward someone…
Our life moves, and with awareness, you should be able to see and feel everything.
I was listening to James and Lionel talking.
“I don’t understand,” James complained. “How did you get here? Twenty years ago, you were the wealthiest man in our hometown. You valued millions. Now you are the poorest. What happened?
Knowing many people who had it all, then lost it all, I too wondered about this. How could they not see or feel themselves descending? The landing of an airplane triggers our impulses. Going down a flight of stairs is sensed. For many of us, our senses are alerted when we must descend.
Success or failure, pain follow both of them…
