The story of the homeless man Tedd Willians with the "golden voice"( CNN.com ) show us how one person can change the life of another!
How long was he in the street? How many people stopped and gave him something? A dollar? A smile? He has a gift, and someone finally found it. Now he has a house,a job, treatment... and we hope that he truly will overcome his addictions.
How many people, children, teens, adults, are waiting for opportunities, someone that might help with a scholarship, a job, a treatment....or maybe just some respect. Someone that sees past one's appearance to the "golden something" that everyone has and then gives them an opportunity, a friendship, a job,a house, education, treatment to be able to live in our society.
Why doesn't each one of us look at one another with a "hunter's eyes", searching for those who are in need, giving more respect, love , and treating one another by the golden rule:
"Treat one another as you wish to be treated."
The world is big and there is enough for everyone - the only thing we are missing is what is important, not color, not race, not stature... but that everyone is a human being. We are brothers and sisters and we need to see each other this way. If we do we will have abundance, we will be happy, no wars, because we see each other as the same, as sons and daughters of the same God!
Thinking at all tragic events we just know it is absence of love that makes all this tragedy and what people really want. Governments are there for the people not to win elections.
I like the position of President . Obama when he said " I have come here tonight as an American who, like all Americans, kneels to pray with you today, and will stand by you tomorrow."
He said " He came as a American! Someone comment he was doing a "advertising campaign"... if you think for a President where he is, he is in a campaign, if his words are good, someone will say is political, if is bad they will say " look what he said! Do not vote for him again!
His words was "We are grateful",.for the men who tackled the gunman, for petite Patricia Maisch, who wrestled away the killer’s ammunition ,for the doctors and nurses and first responders who worked wonders to heal those who’d been hurt... is this advertising?." So sudden loss causes us to look backward – but it also forces us to look forward, to reflect on the present and the future, on the manner in which we live our lives and nurture our relationships with those who are still with us. We may ask ourselves if we’ve shown enough kindness, generosity, compassion to the people in our lives. Perhaps we may question whether we are doing right by our children, our community, whether our priorities are in order. We recognize our own mortality; we are reminded that in our fleeting time on earth, what matters is not wealth, or status, or power, or fame -– but rather, how well we have loved, and what small part we have played in making the lives of other people better."
This is what I love in our Government when they really look for what the best to the people, that will bring peace and prosperity!
I hope this tragedy bring back a Congress who act as a Americans, who looks what is right not whom is right, or" if we approve this who will win the next election" but help all who lives here to have a opportunity to live in piece, to have a job, education, respect, care one another, not approve the use of guns, but approve the use of love and respect!
As President Obama said is "about everything from the merits of gun safety laws to the adequacy of our mental health systems. And much of this process, of debating what might be done to prevent such tragedies in the future, is an essential ingredient in our exercise of self-government"
