ENOUGH!

Enough. Enough. Enough.
Why?!
Enough violence.
Enough bigotry.
Enough division.
Enough confusion.
Enough fear.

For all the good surrounding us,
Stop hiding. Please come out and shine bright,
So that this darkness can fade and forever be banished away.

Be good.
Be kind.

How long must we wait? Divided, conquered, mistrusting.

I understand as best I can. I understand how and why so many think and believe and act in opposition to--
LOVE!

But, please. Open your hearts, however broken and battered.
Open your minds, however clouded and steadfast.
Open yourself to something greater than hatred.
Live in love.

Live to love yourself. Live to love one another—regardless of the meaningless lines (social constructs) our society has misguidedly placed upon us all. 

Stop history from repeating. Start a new way.
Stop accepting separation, for any reason. Start a worldwide union.

Enough labels. Enough lies. Erase them from your hearts and minds, and society will follow.
We are ONE people.
We are ONE human race.
We are ONE species.

Please work together. Please do not harbor feelings of animosity towards anyone, regardless of their transgressions—grave or slight. Forgive yourself. Forgive others. Respect one another.

I can only hope, despite all of this sadness and horror that has run rampant since the beginning of humanity, I can only hope—and try to live in such a manner that is befitting to our evolution from simple, crude animals into critical, moral, and spiritual beings.

Today, my tear-ducts are clogged from the sheer multitude of waves of grief for our shortcomings… one after another, utterly ridiculous and unnecessary.

We must keep trying.
We must keep moving forward as a people.
We must keep living in love.

Look for the light amongst the darkness; for however difficult, it surrounds us and is ultimately within us.

Look for it, find it, hold on to it; if you look for it and cannot find it, create it and share it with the world.
