I was having a discussion with someone the other day and he was telling me about a book that had been discovered somewhere (it is a really old book) and apparently due to the amount of labor needed to write books back then (I believe it was AC but not completely sure, as I tend to zone out sometimes when he is talking). The statement was made that it was filled with nonsense and the consensus was "why would the author fill a book with nonsense". This got me to thinking.......why, when faced with something we do not fully comprehend do we tend to believe that what is being said (or written) is nonsense? Just because it does not make sense to us does not mean it is nonsense. Maybe the author just wanted to write down what he was thinking or feeling at the time and had no intention of it being for public consumption. Has there ever been a time in your life where you just wanted to get something out of your head (not necessarily for anyone to see or hear) just to put it down and analyze it before you exploded? I say that this is another way of judging someone for being different.... when will it end? We are fast approaching a New Year and like a lot of people I tend to want to believe that things will be different, but will they? We have a new president in the coming year and since he is a man of color I have hope that some things are changing, but I wonder, is it enough? Questions to ponder in the new year. Hope you have a blessed day and a better tomorrow.

Interesting musings...hmmmm... well, one man's confusion is another man's clarity. As far as things changing, and Obama... just the fact that his election even happened, let alone resoundingly, is proof enough that something is changing (even if it just the slight mellowing of one hardened attitude - namely mine). He's got the ball rolling, the rest is up to us.
Love ya,
Gary
