209) I Can't Force You to Change

You pick a side. You are belonged, liked, and united.

You pick no side. You are an outsider.

You are forced to choose a side.

You have freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly and petition based on America’s First Amendment. You have the right (and privilege) to protest, rebel, and etc.

​I respect your decision.

I can compliment you. I can set examples and give stories to you. I can ask questions to you. But I can’t force you to change. I believe you can change one day. But that’s up to you if you’re willing to change.    

If Derek Chauvin dies, it won’t stop or end racism.

(My uncle lost my sister’s life. Racism wasn’t involved. It was my own blood and relative. I wanted him dead at the time. 5 years later, my uncle did. No one killed him. He lost his own life. His death never fixed me. It never bought back my sister’s life.)

Death and violence has never solved or ended racism at all.

Look, racism has been going on forever (way before our time). More bloodshed and hatred to humanity.

We live in an imperfect world.

The planet Earth is about 4.5 billion years old.

Earth has witnessed every happening more than us.

What I’ve learned during this COVID pandemic:

• Death is inevitable. I lost a sister, uncle, and coach before this pandemic.
• Science is real. I’m witnessing a COVID-19 outbreak.
• Silence is painful and powerful. Jesus practiced it. 
• Leadership is difficult. No one will or can be perfect. It’s impossible to please everyone. 

It's understanding who people are and making adjustments.
