The basis of an individual's existence is governed by self-dertermination. The distinction which is made to those who fail & refuse to fall through the cracks of an industrialized society is based primarily in the construction of self in relation to others.

From my experience, as limited as it is, I have found the dynamics built around "gangs" and or in essence ethnic orientation is shame. It is important to find ones identity, character, heritage, race, nationality, etc. It is just as important to experience the variables which in turn reflect upon us, as human beings, the very means it is that we in turn relate or co-relate with one another.

The very circumstances by which one or many, can construe for themselves, as coming from a "group" dichotomy, is based upon the nature of embracing thier history, and often this is found by embracing the tradegies their people(s) have had to encompass.

Unfortunately, the diamonds in the ashes which are found, are very rare. The very means, by which people or human beings choose to self-preserve, are often those of free-will or of choice.

I find today that our youth are focused to find self-dertermination through the pressures to conform to group dynamics, rather than an individual one. Today's pressure on children is great & wide. It is of great importance for the safety & preservation of humanity to give children the proper opportunities to know they can stand on their own. That they as individuals can create their own thoughts & ideas. That they can as individuals form their own opinions that are against the wave of what generations have come before them and created as a whole. The nature, the very nature of a child is in its very fine innocence. This above all else must be honored and respected. The children inherit the World, as it has been left for them, this is true. But its beliefs & ideologies can be left behind. This can be accomplished by giving the child in the home, the attention it needs to grow and expand as it matures in the World it has inherited.
Don't let the guise of a color of one's skin, the guise of one's history; of belonging to a particular race delineate how it is we as human beings should relate and inter-relate with one another. Underneath the surface we are all the same. It is a defilement to teach a child any different. To look through the eye of a child is to see with an angelic & pure heart. This essence exists in all human beings...Treasure & learn to accept the differences of one another. Treasure & learn to find enough self-acceptance to except the hatred from those amongst us who have been conformed to greed and hatred. Look upon the tragedies of the World w/tolerance and with acceptance.
As we as children, need the attention we crave from one another as human beings. Our actions, no matter how low or how high need to be acknowledged with an open heart. It always starts with the child you have inside yourself. Learn to listen to your inner thoughts. Pay attention to what prompts you to feel the way you do in relation to what upsets you. Unravel yourself and you will unravel the World. Unravel the World and you will unravel the Universe. You will see, it corresponds to what you believe. If you want peace in your world, you have to be at peace with yourself and in turn give peace. Reach out to one another. Give love and you will recieve love. Condemn the actions another with bitter hatred you will be opening yourself to channels of hatred and negativity! Condemn the actions of a child who needs you to love him or her and you will send that child into adult life with the need and the neccesity to continue to call out for it to be loved as a child.

Come to accept that which you do not understand in your World and in your Life. Come to accept that which is bigger that you are. Help one another take out the specks which we have in our eyes and we will all see clearly the potentials of living in a free, peace loving World!!

A craftsman pulled a reed from the reedbed,
cut holes in it, and called it a human being.

Since then, it's been wailing a tender agony
of parting, never mentioning the skill
that gave it life as a flute.

Humble living does not diminish. It fills.
Going back to a simpler self gives wisdom.

When a man makes up a story for a his child,
he becomes a father and a child
together, listening.

The Pearls in the Ocean
were created-

For the swine in the breeze,
for which they were blinded
and crushed them to dust...
