Hello! What a
week huh!? I didn’t post last Monday because it was just too much going on and like
most of the world that has access to international news or if you’re in the
states national news I was focused on last Monday’s events on my television.
It was sad
how some people were responding to this tragic event. You know what I mean,
those old clichés like, “chickens coming home to roost” and so forth. While everyone’s
opinion is just that, theirs, sometimes it’s best to be quiet, especially when
there is loss of life. We should be comforting and supportive or quiet. I’m
quite sure if a tragic event happened in their lives these are not words they
would care to hear. I’m just saying.
Well let’s
move forward and that’s what this post is mainly about, moving forward. And I’m
talking about moving forward together so I’ll be writing about the mind of, “the
people” and “a people”.
Huh, what!? You
say you didn’t get that! Okay, I’m going to break it down from my point of view
and remember I said everyone has an opinion.
In my way of thinking, “mind of
the people” represents a group of people that have come together and formed a consensus
of how they want the world to view them or how that group is expressing
themselves to an audience or the world in general. Almost like a mission
statement or a cause. So even if these people are of different mindsets,
backgrounds and what have you they still have come together and are supposed to
be moving in unity: so groups, clubs, associations, fraternities and so forth
function on this accord. Does that make sense now?
I’m not
talking about the people that get caught up in fads either, that’s a whole
nother discussion!
Now on the
other hand the mind of a people to me are people who not come together in any
shape form or fashion, but have some of the same characteristics as others. Like
the guys who walk around with their pants on the ground, now these guys have
never met or come together to decide this is how we’re going to do this, it’s
just a mindset; or when disaster strikes and people come to the aid of others. You
got me? Well the latter has been on my mind for some time and I’ve been wanting
to write about it, but it’s so sensitive I’ve had a difficult time putting it into
words. I think the best thing I can do is share what I think about it and let
you do the same, think about it.
