Inauguration of a Republic and Morrie..

Probably the most talked about topic this entire day, the inauguration of our wonderful and heart moving 44th President. Change has, at the most apparent moment come. Change, not in a sense of what man leads or what man does this or that, but change in a coming of understanding. Time has passed for such a long period for us to learn we can come together again just as our founding fathers, when creating our Republic.

Our manifest destiny to obtain a global empire can finally and hopefully rest, while rather in the mean time we can learn to obtain our original goals as an American Republic, something our founding fathers died for to create. Our country was built on the foundation of "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.." Something which we must realize we still have, though, neglected. It's kinda like having a broke ass ride, you're not gonna change the appearance of the vehicle before you change the engine are you? Perhaps we can be seen different in Mr Depp's eyes as a "dumb puppy".

"God Speed President Obama.."



The strange thing is what separates us all, the simple fact that we are different and we choose not to accept differences and change. I remember reading one of my most favorite and fantastic books of them all "Tuesdays With Morrie" written by a very outstanding author Mr Mitch Albom. Recalling many of the lessons to which Morrie had taught Albom, one was "love", love everyone around you treat them well and you'll go through life feeling well and being treated in that same manner. Love them no matter what difference they are to you in any way. Morrie once said, "Without love, we are birds with broken wings." Realize that and perhaps we could all fly.

Recently, I've had a certain conversation with a friend about her life and how troublesome it feels for her and how complex it seems. I told her that life is so simple it's just seen so complex by so many people, that it just feels so tough and hard. She argued that it is "hard" that many people see it differently, many people have different variables that separate them from others who might have it "easier". Honestly, I feel that there is no complexities that separate us, we're all closed in together we're all connected and things are so simple. One quote that I probably live by thanks to Morrie,

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." - Morrie
