Full-body chills and warm tears, dearest Jo! First and foremost, thanks to your unquestionably impressive talent. And second, because of the mesmerizing synchronicity...

Those were the closing words of a recent piece:

"Racism is not an incurable disease. Like any other deformed behavior, changing it only depends on a paradigm shift.

I am aware racists are victims of their parents and that it is a family curse, giving the same patterns are vehiculated from generation to generation. But here is the deal:

When they say, “It runs in the family”, you tell them, “It’s here where it runs out!”

We all come to this life and spend some time. The question one probably needs to ask oneself is, “How do I want to be remembered after leaving this physical world?”

As a responsible human being who, despite having been conditioned, was brave enough to invest in re-writing the warped subconscious program — an adventure whose paycheck is priceless, or an individual who spent their whole life in survival mode and who contributed to adding more problems to the world’s long list?"
