    Because I am a deep believer that everyone should have the chance to be listened to…People should never judge and label one another without getting to know each other…Throughout my personal and professional life, I learned how to revisit my unconcious biases and work on recognizing them…. This helped me in changing what needs to be changed and made me a happier person who is willing to know people of all faiths and ideologies and give them a chance… At the end we are all human beings, and the majority of us (the sane ones) have one major desire, which is to live in peace and be happy with our loved ones in addition to doing something useful in this life…


    That is why #Ipledgetolisten :)

    The Voice (Have you been listening?)

    There is a voice that I have heard

    It does not use the spoken word

    It is a voice you cannot hear

    Unless you use an inner ear


    It comes from somewhere deep inside

    Where Faith, and Peace, and Truth reside

    It sings and soars like a Spiritual Dove

    It’ easily heard with the experience of Love


    I’m sure that it has called to you

    Did you know what you were listening to?

    It can be heard above all Earthly strife

    Yes, my friend…..it’s the voice of Life


    It’s helped me learn some wondrous things

    Like how to fly without using wings

    And never, have my struggles been in vain

    I’ve learned to cry, when you are in pain


    I can feel Love for those I’ll never see

    Though they may choose to feel hate for me

    Never stop trying for the strength to find

    To need and to care for, all humankind


    This voice will help you realize

    Your body is only a disguise

    To know you I must look past your face

    Past your religion, and past your race


    We must stop this useless game

    Threatened by differences & assigning blame

    For deep inside, you’re just like me

    Our needs are Love, and Harmony


    We need to work to put aside

    All of the anger, hate, and pride

    We do not need this kind of tool

    We DO need Love, and the Golden Rule


    Love is all, this Voice will say

    The Golden Rule helps light the way

    Touch me while looking past my eyes

    You’ll feel Human Truth, beyond all lies


    It seems so simple, an obvious choice

    We each must listen to this Voice

    And learn to use Love’s righteous tools

    And live as FRIENDS…….not die as FOOLS

    It’s very easy to find yourself living in a bubble and not realize it… When you place yourself in different environments you will always leave having learned something new, not just about others, but also yourself. My travels have challenged me to listen and when I did, I have always gained new perspective. I hope and pray that we can continue to listen and learn from one another. I truly believe that most hate is just ignorance in disguise. So let’s listen and learn from one another… I #PledgeToListen, will you join me?

I gotta be honest every time take a shower, those long as showers where you think of heaps of stuff I wonder if the world was a better place with peace would it be different to now or would stay the same, will i feel the peace around me or will i feel like I live under a rock still. well i guess i wouldnt know unless peace comes true to this world
