Have you ever woke up with a story on your mind.. this was mine.
So, grab your cup of tea and sit back, it’s story time.
Everyone has been wronged I don’t care who you are or how rich or how poor, everyone has suffered injustice.
Some justices are worse than others some are greater than yours and some are less.
The reason why this doesn’t work for you is that you’re focusing on the injustices and you’re protesting against innocent people trying to get your point across its allowing your in justice to fester you’re not putting power has no solution just going to hate resentment
Every time something happens you’re not trying to find a cure and you’re just picking the scab and letting it fester and the only thing that happens with that is an infection.
Have you ever noticed someone with an infection and they run around showing it to everybody and they want to find a cure oh look at this look at this Mark look at the scab look at this boo-boo look at this infection what is it what do you think it is why is it there? You want everyone to look at your infection and you want to spread it you want to spread the reality of your infection and you want someone else to fix your infection yet you’re the one who keeps ripping the scab off and opening up the scab to more disease.
So you keep spreading infection with no cure.
You keep spreading your pain on innocent people some of which have no idea what you’re doing and you expect results and it only result you’re going to get is more infection not a cure
Then I heard about this man whom with his wife at the beginning of the occupation, he also hid his wife’s jewelry inside chocolates to smuggle out to start a new life in the United States. I never found the name of the man or the story I read by I’m sure you know by now he and his wife were jewish.
I believe there was a great injustice to the Jews, is it bigger then your injustice? Is it smaller? I don’t think that matters, it was an absolute injustice some would say the word injustice is to nice for what happened (I tend to agree) but for this article we will stick with injustice.
Did the man above gather up his closest friends (or anyone who would listen) and say LOOK LOOK at what is going on, LOOK at the injustice? Maybe they did gather? I do not know.
Ohhh times were different then.. but were they? Riots still happened, Protests went on but it resulted in zero accomplishments and a whole lot of heartache.
An man whose story is anonymous did what he had to do, he gathered his wife (she had no idea she was never going to see her family again) lied to the guard about the chocolates and left his soon to be destroyed homeland forever. He did what he could during a horrific time in that era.
Now meet Sir Nicholas Winton
saved over 669 lives by smuggling children out of Czechoslovakia and taking them to England to start life over. Sir Winton did what he could and saved 669 lives.

Again did he fester? Did he share the infection or did he do something anything to change the outcome? He did what he could.
Both these men and many many more like them (women as well) did what they could, some in just a close intimate way. I call it their 360, they did what they could for those immediately around them. Others took on a larger calling simply because they could.
Both men, put a bandage on the infection and in their own “neck of the woods” (where does this sayings come from?) acted without violence but with genuine wisdom and inspiration.
So back to this… everyone has an injustice, what is yours?
Drugs
Gun Violence
Age discrimination
Abuse
Economic
Blue Line
Employment
Black Lives
Bullying
Spiritual
Sex
Government
Health Reform
Gender Discrimination
Poor income areas
Ifrastructure
Unfair labor practices
Despair
Environmental
Racial discrimination
Ohhh but how can you even compare THAT to MY injustice, MINE is so much worse. My response to that is..
TO YOU
and What are YOU doing about it? Are you festering, gathering up infecting people or are you putting a bandage on it, looking around to see what YOU can do to make the difference as unique and and as boldly as Sir Winton and that one man, and the many that came before and followed after them.
It’s a choice, so which choice are you going to make?
Fester or Bandage?
