I Love People.  I love any expression of God.  I love Muhammad.  And the Dalai Lama.  And Jesus.  And Ganesh. 

I love our belief in something Holy and Divine.

Because even if there isn't a God, feeling God in your soul is wonderful.  We all feel it.  Right here.  Right in that core of our being.  We all know how GOODNESS in the world makes us feel. 

We all know it because when tragedy strikes, we all instinctual run to help however we can.  Earthquakes.  Tsumamis.  Natural tragedy prompt our most generous outpouring of support and solidarity.

And we all feel motivated by goodness to come together in this way time and time again all over the world.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is GOD.

I do not know if God is a Being or just the expression of goodness in the world.

But either way, I feel Him lighting my soul ablaze.

The world is a wonderful place filled with wonderful people when you understand them from all angles and can appreciate the base motivations of fear and love that control all of us and dictate our responses to ideas, ideology, and imagination.

We are created complex, but at the core, we're very simple.

And beautiful.  And human.  And awful.  And hurting.  And struggling.  And trying to love in a world where we feel so much hate from so many people every day.

It happens to all of us.  It happens to those of us with privilege, just not as much and not as deeply.

But everybody runs into someone who is a jerk, male or female.  Jerk's hate everyone and spit on everyone they encounter because they can.

Because they have to.

Because deep down they feel threatened and being a jerk it an attempt to protect themselves.

Evil is fear.  Evil begins with fear.  Serial killers are made not born.  Rapists are made not born.

We do not understand how all of us contribute invisibly to the creation of these evil individuals.

But we all do.

And we don't know it.

But I have a solution.  And it might work. 

But I also have mental illness, so right now I'm waiting for word on whether my solution is genius or crazy.

I'll let you know.
