Caution: Violence

After watching the video involving the death of a black teenager being stabbed in the city of Augusta, Ga., I felt torn. I was torn for a number of reasons. I want delve into all the reasons, but I thought it to be a good time to introduce others to a small truth. A truth that involves those with broken morals.

    

      First, it took me a while to digest what I witnessed on the video. Then I had to come up with a plan on what to say. Initially, the first thing that came to mind is my first book, The Noose On the Black Community, http://www.christopher-ty.com/.

    

      Then I asked this one simple question. What is going on with people?

There seems to be an injustice dwelling upon the community of those that readily embrace broken morals. Not only are broken morals embraced by indignant people, but self-denial seems to be at the forefront of the violence we see played out in the media. Let me explain.

    

      When people are killed by members of their own community, then Hate is the substratum of it all. Not only is it considered hate, but those carrying the noose are usually the ones’ responsible for the veil, that is cast widely over the minds of those in denial. In other words, the breakdown of morals, character and a desultory view of the individual self, all leads to failure. It leads to failure for the individual and subsequently, a wider spread of failure for those within the community.

    

       So, when America witnessed the stabbing of Demajhay Bell, we not only witnessed ignorance among this group of people, but we witnessed a sickness that has become cancerous throughout many similar communities. The unfortunate part is that many are unaware of their own failures. Crimes like this one, also birth a new meaning to the phrase, being or acting neighborly. Could this be the reason why the word hood has such a big disconnect from the word neighbor? Think about it. One of the many definitions of the word neighbor is as follow. A neighbor is “a person who shows kindliness or helpfulness towards his or her fellow human.”

       With that being said, I’ll let you come up with your own definition for the word, hood. By the way, hood is a word widely embraced by many young minds that are blinded by the veil of ignorance. Hmmm…, have you ever heard the phrase? I’m from the hood.

     

      Next, if good men cannot head up communities and become positive role models, then how does a group of people ever change? How will this psychological noose become loosened away from the minds of those that are in denial, readily asphyxiating their lives? The answer is quite simple. There will never be change, if there’s never a desire to understand the agent of change. The agent of change I"m speaking of, is that of Self.

     

     So, when I see videos like that of Mr. Bell, or read about black men killing each other (which is massive) it's at that point, the phrase: Black Lives Matter, makes no sense. It only makes sense as a slogan, in the political arena as it deflects the truth away from the real issues, that enough black men aren't willing to acknowledge....The truth is, All Lives Matter.

   

       Finally, we must understand that self-value is the foundation of human dignity. When people don’t value themselves, it’s difficult to value neighbors, friends, and others throughout society. It’s also hard for others to place any kind of substantial value on those who aren't willing to value themselves. Altogether, a devalued self is always predicated upon the notion of denial (black lives matter). Such denials, will always exist within the minds of those creating such a lifestyle. It’s further imputed onto the minds of others, which leads to a malignant problem that asphyxiates those in close proximity. This dangerous spread of denial will intuitively obstruct the mental growth of others, causing them to only fight against a system, when in fact, the problem is that of unmade men, who has rejected their own purpose in life. This denial will continue to lead towards a tightening of the psychological noose and hence the slogan, the Noose On the Black Community, will not cease until broken morals can become morals that have found a way to become mended morals. This will only happen, when men will educate and rediscover the truth of what really, NOOSE their lives....

Perception of Many

             

 

                   What Do You Think?

     What is it to perception? Perception is one of the greatest experiences that one can create against another. In the eyes of the beholder, this word called perception is enlarged based upon what is seen by the natural eye and above all, those actions that are displayed before the masses.    

     Furthermore, without perception, which is something we all create within our mental faculty, we sometimes hold a veil against the inlets of our mind. Sometimes our belief, is that others will accept how we present ourselves. No matter how we look.

     To add to this, one other great value we experience in life is the freedom to express. It’s our freedom that liberates us to be whoever and whatever we desire for that moment, but our morals mustn’t be forgotten. This is a problem I see time after time and with this problem comes character degradation. 

   However, one must also understand that there is a cost for the freedom in which we walk in during this walk of life. In other words, one of our quest in life should be the discovery of self. “Discovery of what?” you may ask. Well, discovery of the following.

·         Character

·         Morals

·         Respect of Self

·         Respect of Others

·         Ambitions.

     With all due respect, as I’ve worked with youths in the past, I’ve addressed and moved the minds of young men from a dilapidated state, to a higher level of thinking. Many never knew how great of an asset they were over the liability that existed within an uninformed mind. With that being said, the reason so many young men overlook character, morals, respect of self, others and their own ambitions, is all secondary to the ability to create a foundation they’ve never knew existed. Self-Belief.

     So, why do I say this? Well, as I mentioned earlier, perception in and of itself is an experience that is completely automatic. In other words, what you decide to dress like, automatically transmit a signal that carries a weight of influence upon other minds. So, by knowing this, at some point, one must then ask: Why is that I walk around with such a dilapidated character, wanting others to trust, give, and believe in something (me) that goes against the very thought of what they witness before their own eyes..

     When we don’t believe in ourselves and carry ourselves in a misaligned way, then others, want believe in us, and perception is drawn based upon a sensory experience and not a verbal argument.

Amazing You!!!

      In case you didn't know, we all have this incredible ability to create the experience that is to come within our lifetime. Once this is realized, the question then becomes, are you willing to create it in order to become a better you?
     Many people go through life changing experiences simply because of something they may have desired. This is true on many levels, and when circumstances become too much for us to handle, many people are left to reap the consequences. Unfortunately, some of those consequences are more devastating than what we can handle.
     As I sat down in the barber's chair this morning to get my hair cut, my barber had a lot of things weighing heavily on his heart. He talked about his current situation and how it was weighing him down in life. I asked him if I could ask him one simple question and he said "yeah." I said, without you sharing your personal business with me, do you find that you may have brought this on yourself now that the dust is all stirred up? He answer with all honesty and said "yes." My point is this. If we engage in experiences that will cause us to tear down, what we've worked on building up within ourselves (character traits), why would we be selfish enough to engage in something that may destroy us?
     Just as the barber stated, the life experience that he engaged in was not only fortifying, but it brought him temporal satisfaction. The sad part is this...He never considered his end results and now he's having to pay emotionally. This is where the hook can be found at in life. Anything that brings about temporary pleasure (emotionally), often times will deliver having to deal with difficult consequences.
   Because of the life experience in which he CHOSE to go through, he is now left with having to deal with man made consequences. One thing about consequences is this; they are never determined by
the person committing the act.
     For example, if I start stealing, the consequence is jail. If I start committing acts of violence, then the consequence could be death. Or if I start practicing at what I wish to conquer, then my consequence will be some type of reward.
     Remember, as growing individuals that are seeking strength within ourselves, we will always have the ability to embrace wisdom and knowledge simply by thinking. Without taking into consideration our ability to "think" before acting, we will always dismiss the reality of the experience we would have allowed ourselves to engage in.
   Finally, never allow yourself to engage in meaningless experiences, especially those experiences that have the ability to arrest you emotionally. When we put our thoughts to work prior to engaging in anything that may destroy us, it is then that we construct a belief system that holds you (us) accountable to being the best that we can possibly be.
     Remember, always love yourself!!

The Road to Truth, Love and Non-Violence.

                             Our Rights vs. Truth and Love:

The foundation that has led to all the problems and issues in which we’ve witnessed throughout the media, all relates to perception, how we respond to perception and those ingredients called conflict; that experience that is created post-perception.

     I battled with writing this blog because it peels back the reflections upon our minds and this precipitates a gradual judgment on the basis of what is considered morally right, wrong and morally acceptable in our society of today.

     Onward, when one attempts to uncover the issues in which the world has been introduced to during the wake of Ferguson, we must realize that we all have a moral obligation to express our “truth” in the best way possible. This expression usually happens very fast and this is where perception (especially of another) can be misaligned and remains dangling in the balance. I mention the word “truth” because understanding truth is what liberates us from conditions of stored up memories in which our minds can easily reflect upon. Also, understanding the truth, paves the way for reconciliation. This pathway is first paved into the direction of ‘self’ and then from self, unto all others.

Next, the bigger question becomes this: how does the individual perceives ‘self’ and to what degree does the individual rectify his own actions, especially when he/she is wrong?

Needless to say, as Americans, we all have a moral right to “due process.” If we were to go further than that, the question then becomes; what moral rights should individuals put forth into society vs. what corruption or nature of sin does that same individual(s) extend upon society? This question causes the individual(s) to not only analyze “self” but it can hopefully deduce the fact concerning “you” the individual and remove the focus from what many fight against…, the system.  After all, law officials are only a body of people that have come together to establish this system and like anyone else, they too may find themselves vulnerable to crime at times.

Furthermore, a lack of understanding one’s cultural environment can easily lead to a misguided perception. One known fact is this: We all have perception. Having said that, each individual must (or should) take the responsibility within his or her own behavioral rights, to not only embrace their own moral rights, but while doing so, extend the rod of truth and righteousness unto others, without the color of one’s skin becoming a factor in such judgment.

      In truth, another issue we have witnessed throughout the media within the last few weeks is this: Must we truly consider the murder of anyone regardless of race, morally right or morally wrong? How does one justify police brutality or the killing of any man, whether he’s Black, White, Asian, etc.? On the flip side, how can black men (in particularly) justify the increased murder rates throughout the major cities within this country, but not take a similar proactive role, even if the system (cops) is not to blame for such murders? I mentioned both sides because this is where perception comes into conflict amongst many people. When I look at the number of murders that have occurred in places like Chicago, Arkansas, New Jersey, and other areas, one must ask, how does the same people arrive at marching with slogans saying I CAN’T BREATH, but not lift their attention to areas like Chicago that had nearly 500 murders over a year and a half ago, can be very concerning.

 My point is this: One mustn’t allow the system to validate their perception of truth concerning policemen against minorities, while refusing to stand up against other acts of violence, especially within inner city neighborhoods. If this is allowed, people will always find themselves marching against the system rather than ameliorating the lives of those we dwell amongst. Why? Because it’s easier to throw stones at a giant rather than make peace with those that are at a similar height.

Although some laws may change, it’s the system that is the intra-character of this society and it’s our behavior pitched into this invisible veil that determines the consequences that follows. In other words, Change starts with “you,” and from this type of positive change, better morals and character traits are built upon it, only when we work towards justifying our positive motives.

Furthermore, as Americans, we have always strived hard to liberate ourselves from the very thing that incarcerates our progress each and every time we pinpoint “racism” to be the culprit. In other words, can it truly be the nature of sin that people are more susceptible to engaging in, rather than the violence, something based upon what perception of beliefs some have entrained concerning a group of people? Or, have we been socialized to believe in the negative actions we’ve witnessed for ourselves, only to influence our cultural environment in a way only (we) see fit?

I ask this question because I’ve seen this work both ways. For instance, a group of people may view police officers to be one way, and police officers may view a group of people in a different way. In the end, the most important aspect boils down to individual respect that starts with “self” and is expressed to others. For some people, understanding where respect derives from, is the key to administering it. Just as policeman have a civic duty to express respect to all they serve, citizens also have a duty to respect those men and women that put on that badge each and every day in order to serve citizens.

Although these questions may open your eyes to many different pathways in which one can choose from, there is one final premise in particular I would like to address.

First, men and women alike are socialized underneath this governmental system in which many depend on to be the truth, above all other things. The one thing in which some neglect to understand is this: The system, more than anything, is an evolving mindset in which people have put forth to be the solution for most things, but it’s not the defining truth of all things.

 History has shown us that fighting the system will only lead to chaos. Underneath these experiences, there is an expectation “to do right,” that has been put in place by incredible minds, even if those working alongside of such a system, chooses to falter along the way from time to time. Remember, just as they falter, consequences should be extended in order to justify the means.

 In hindsight, fighting against the system in order to be perceived of having a higher quality of moral values, will always come into conflict with the very nature of the individual(s), secondary to his or her perception on what is considered to be morally acceptable in society as a whole. Not on the streets or your home, etc., but Society as a whole.

To make it much clearer, fighting against the sin of the individual(s) is a war worth waging against, especially when you know that your greatest weapon utilized to destroy such a daunting task is simply LOVE…

     Finally, there will be those that will overlook the whole ideal of understanding this concept. Why? Because their minds have been interlocked on changing the system in which many may consider to be racist, rather than dwelling on moral truth and establishing moral values for the good of ‘self’, family and those that are connected. This can be useful amongst any ethnic group of people. Rather than fighting the fight to change the mind of the system, we as Americans must fight to display World Centric Love, and by doing so, everything else is capable of being penetrated.
