An Opinion: #TheResistance

As we know, via social media and rallies on the streets, since the 2016 presidential election there has been an invincible upsurge of people uniting for a patriotic cause in the United States. This cause has been televised, re-tweeted, liked, publicized, criticized by many of those who either agree or hate it. The resistance: An up rise that implode among the masses of Americans who felt cheated and dismayed by the results of the 2016 presidential election. Well, considering cheated and dismayed sound like timid, soft words to describe the rebuttal against Donald Trump has been difficult to fathom for many Americans. Despondent and disheartened fit the description of the overwhelming shock millions feel months later. Undoubtedly, with the resistance, it has really shown such an outcry of millions of patriotic and devoted Americans who want to uphold the sanctity of our nation's values and, most importantly, it democracy. With the resistance it seems that democracy will not subside or diminish any time soon which is reassuring for the millions who love to present our honorable and symbolic red, white and blue. 

Another note to mention is the resistance symbolizes that demagoguery and blatant hatred does not belong on our homeland. Collectively, we all have fought for our rights, whether directly or indirectly, they have mattered to us for a plethora of reasons. Why would we want our rights stomped on or tarnished? With that, because of his pure ignorance, it does not constitute or determine that we the people should be governed by fear-mongering foolishness, and looming intentions alluding to a dictator, which he has yet to learn the basics about governing our country, prior to his "win" on election day. Civics 101 would have come handy prior to his bid in the campaign race. In a way it heeds a golden rule of respect: "Treat others the way you want to be treated". In the least, if he had treated us with respect right off the start then maybe the tension would not feel so heavy, but it seems his approach showed otherwise to Americans. Frustration does not fully describe nor encompass how millions of people feel, and there is no justification of why it would describe our feelings. Another thought, livid fits another descriptive words rather than frustration. What we can elaborate is our fears of the unknown, and several of the unfortunate prevalent trends of threats from hate groups and appalling hate speech among innocent people.

Despite all the gruesome verbal arguments in public during protests or on social media platforms, it seems that the resistance will never surrender which brings reassurance, and oddly enough relief, because the fact that this example of his (D.T.'s) petulance and demagoguery has helped us exercise our rights of free speech and assembly and freedom press to expose the abnormality of it. His "presidency" has presented abhorrent examples of what not to do as a president, but what to do when encountered by this -- to resist. The resistance marks an milestone in our U.S. history regardless of opposition or misunderstanding. In all, the resistance is a strong-hold of what it means to defy him (D.T.) and his "presidency". Another thing that is certain, never disgrace country and its integrity because its citizens who live on homeland will advise that we will not let him dismantle it.

The Inevitable -- Original Poem

It was meant to happen Someone or something unexpected  It interrupts you, discourages you It was meant to happen It has changed you, your life It has made you live for more Someone or something that was meant for you You yearn to know the reason But it remains unknown, hidden It was meant to happen It confuses you, frustrated you It has angered you, enticed you Made you feel defeated But you never gave up You strived to learn more You remained persistent, never gave up It was meant to happen Someone or something unexpected has occurred to you Don't let it go You will know it soon enough It was the inevitable

Giver

An original poem I wrote on Saturday, May 9, 2015, that I am sharing from my journal. Note: This poem is dedicated to people who give and thrive in life while giving. Sacrifice a lot and expect nothing In return realize your worth Do not let others act condescendingly  Give in light of their ungratefulness  Ungratefulness shall sink -- too much weight, too dense Give to others and enrich oneself Oneself is worthy to feel content Live happily with ease, expect nothing In return you realize giving is worth your life  Life is fulfilled and enriched with purpose

Does generosity indicate weakness?

Just to point out something: This post is just an opinion of a topic I have thought about lately. It is something that I contemplate often times because I view myself as nice, and at times too nice. To me, it is almost sickening that I cannot relinquish my worried mind about being too giving. However, instead of ranting about me, I want you to deem this point of importance -- generosity does not conceal your beautiful soul.  There is so much to fawn about an even-keeled temperament toward other people. You try not to overstep your boundaries. You occupy your mind with the right words to say when conversing with someone. You literally feel frozen at the inkling of what it means to present yourself around others; not to give any vulnerability or sign of discomfort. Ultimately, there are many thoughts that ruminate in your mind, but really it is too difficult to formulate the words to say without hesitation.  Basically, I would like for you to think about this thought: sto...
