One Voice Saves Lives
Silence is no longer an option. One person experiencing hate is too many.
Here is an excerpt from Bent Not Broken, my memoir about my childhood experience with unhealed pain.
“I learned that I am not alone in my experience with unhealed pain. For years all of humanity has suffered because this dark cycle continues to infect generations, dismantles the family concept and callous human hearts.
The demoralizing and inappropriate use of power has been around for centuries. When anger and greed are in power, it knows no boundaries. Age, color, gender, race, sex are all equal in its unsatisfying eyes. The illusion of power blinds the person, disregarding the meaning of life and the purpose for the human body. Fear assumes there is not enough. Anger assumes I must conquer, steal, and destroy. Both conclude I am not enough; therefore, you are not enough. Hateful acts against one person hurt all of humanity by infecting homes, communities, and the world.”
For years, many brave people have said no more. I will speak for all of humanity. I will help bring justice to injustice. My life purpose is to be the light in the world.
All it takes is one voice to say enough is enough. Generations of conviction, courage, strength, and light surround us. We must trust the still small voice urging us to speak the Truth.
