Dr. Jazzy Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Each person’s destiny is not a matter of chance; it’s a matter of choice. It’s determined by what we say, what we do, and whom we trust.” Quite a powerful message. I stopped to eat at a restaurant and sat by the window so I could watch the people passing by on the street. There were literally hundreds of people milling around and waiting in line. Amid all the confusion and traffic, a delivery man was pushing a cart stacked high with boxes. He was trying to navigate the cart delicately through all the crowds of people dashing by. No one took much time to notice him. As he pushed the cart down a slight curb, four of the boxes toppled over onto the street. People kept walking by either ignoring him or making a face because they were aggravated that he was in the way. The delivery man was struggling to balance the other boxes and maintain the cart at the same time, but it was impossible. Finally, a young man in his twenties stopped and offered to help. The young man picked up the boxes and balanced them on the man’s cart. No one asked him to help. He did it out of the goodness of his heart. He did it to be kind. He did it because he wants the world to be a better place – the kind of place where strangers take the time to help each other. That’s how I want us to be too. Let us not accept our destiny as a matter of chance; let us make a choice to help those who need us. Let us take the lead in saying and doing the things that make this world –a better place. Justice, helping those who need the most help, first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jazzy Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 The people who have the ability to begin the problem solving process, focusing on helping the the people who need help most, first could eliminate this problem tomorrow, but do not have the will to do so, and the people who have the will to do so, do not have the ability. Keep picking up the books and maybe reading some of the books will allow people who are not white to again begin the problem solving process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of these people are our people. People who are not considered white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
