The path of least resistance is
Inviting
and
It will never reject you
And
It doesn't judge
Or ask for anything
if you look at it a certain way
But with the constant scandals
War and the like
I wondered this week on twitter out loud
Where is the solution
For I feel in some sense we are trading weighty words or our worth
for loud words and flashiness
A microphone is easier to use than a pen
So the decry when an another atrocity is thrust into the view of our collective consciousness
We clamber to the safe spot we can use our microphones
But not the pens to pen a plan of prevention
For it is not as if we don't know the troubles that plague our world and our souls
So we can't even feign ignorance
So why when we have the knowledge of our flaws and failings
Why are they still glaringly here to pass down to future generations
It's not even that we don't have the capability to solve all our main problems
In say a week
Hunger
War
Racism
Sexism
Homelessness
Etc
We have the materials or the ability to not fan our own flaws
Aka stop participating in wars and pulling the triggers of guns
But yet why do they persist
For flaws always adorn the path of least resistance
It's easier to throw a punch than to examine my insecurities
It's easier to build than to destroy
You maybe thinking
Ah aha
Aren't you also using a microphone
Aren't you
Simply amplifying noise
To grab attention
We all know of the phrase
Be the Change you want to see
But if you are the only one who changes
What change can there really be
It's not about isolated changers
But butterfly effect changes
We need to be as quick to share what will uplift us
As we are what horrify
Titilates or amuses us
Inviting
and
It will never reject you
And
It doesn't judge
Or ask for anything
if you look at it a certain way
