Almost a month ago, I decided that it was time to start blogging again. I only blog if I feel like there’s a topic that I am passionate about and that resonates with me to the point where I just “have to” to talk about it.
Right now, the hot topic for me is “love”. Over the past few weeks I’ve talked about the Twin Flame Journey and all week I’ve been pondering about what I wanted to talk about. Then “BOOM”, the song “Self Destruction” played over the radio. “Self Destruction” was a song created in 1987 by a few hip hop artists (i.e. Boogie Down Productions, Stetsasonic, MC Lyte, Kool Moe Dee, Doug E. Fresh, Just Ice, Heavy D, and Public Enemy). The collaboration was produced in the hopes of encouraging the hip hop community to end violence being committed amongst themselves.
Over the past few decades, this legendary song is often dug out the crates of many urban radio networks music catalogs to commemorate Black History month. However sadly in 2019, violence is not just a concern within urban communities but, it’s a concern throughout the entire United States and the rest of the world.
Somedays to me, it does feel like the world is going to self-destruct. National violence, global threats, a volatile economy, politics, corruption, racism, sexism, harassment etc…are all additional accelerants towards global self destruction.
Hearing the song “Self Destruction” just made me think about how backwards the world is going. Where I feel like somewhere over the past two decades, to be exact, the day the 45th President of the U.S. took office, that the global clock just stopped and the world as we know it stopped moving forward.
Ladies and gentlemen, we’re living in a world and time when so much love is needed to heal the wounds of this world. Unfortunately, amongst us are individuals who were never shown love and as a result do not know what love is nor know how to love others. Therefore, in an effort to change the battery of the global clock that we all live by, I challenge all within eyes reach to love. Love yourself first and then love others especially, those that are different from you. Don’t just love superficially where you’re going through the motions but, love with all of your might; to the point where your love becomes infectious.
