Okay, I am as big a conspiracy theorists as the next person. I can sniff out a racially motivated comment quickly. I know that a lot of people are not very good. This being said, I also know how to forgive and accept apologies. Doing this has afforded the opportunity to free up emotions that are useless and weighing me down.
I don't know where I read it but the saying was something like when you can't forgive someone it's like you drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. It is useless! It makes no sense at all. I'm not sure about anyone else, but, I have so many things going on in my life that I really don't have time to waste on unnecessary foolishness. If I can't be in the moment and be able to absorb my life and the current situation because I am worried about something bad that someone did to me, I am not of any use to myself let alone anyone else.
I am on the look out for the racial things that are happening to our President just like most of black America. Have there been things, okay a ton of things that have been done to President Obama that I feel have been racially motivated. Enough already! I admire what our President has done and how he is setting a standard of forgiving. He's the President for goodness sake he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. On top of that he has a wife and two little girls that he owes more to than his job. President Obama doesn't have the time or the emotional room, I'd imagine, to hold onto things and let them fester and keep him from the important things. He is the most powerful man right now and the fact that he has chosen to use his power to teach us important lessons speaks volumes about the man. This is a man that is unapologetic about the choices and decisions he has to make for the greater good. He obviously realizes that he could drink the poison all day and it doesn't change what the other person has done. So lets take a cue from him and if you have an issue with a person talk directly to that person and come to a resolve; even if that means agreeing to disagree!
