If all men are born equal. Why change the subject matter? Are slave humans, or humans slaves? When did we know that humans are slaves? When did man decide to call humans slaves? Man and woman. Created, as man and woman. Not slaves. The slave was never man and woman's name at birth. Why should any human? Be called. A slave by another human like himself. Why, because of his own selfish reasons, greed, and corruption, or fame? Man is not a slave. All men are human without a question. And no human should. Thus be a slave. By its own kind. It is an abomination to the human creation. If a man is called a slave. The man that said this word is a slave to himself. He is shooting himself down. With no respect for his humanness as a man. For a man cannot call another human like himself. A slave, to himself. It is an abomination to our spirituality. Humanness, and our creator by far. Humans are not slaves. All humans are born equal. And if any man calls a human a slave. He is calling himself a slave too. Because he himself is human.” – Jamela Dunbar	added by Eside 6 years ago

Loneliness is like alcohol. at first it gives a slight buzz but nothing more. As time progresses and more is consumed, it slowly becomes more and more intoxicating. Then before you even know it, you become addicted. You grow to need the feeling it gives you, knowing that its slowly killing you but unable to detach. Unwilling to try, you slowly succumb to the darkness until, finally, it owns you. Only then do you realize you've slowly become a slave to the relentless darkness that consumes the rest of the population.Loneliness is like alcohol. at first it gives a slight buzz but nothing more.

Proper meditation develops awareness, allowing us balance through consciousness. Rather than living the life of a slave to our programming, we are liberated from our thoughts and emotions. We become the watcher, the observer of our thoughts. Conscious of this moment, and aware of all that is going on. Aware of what programs are running, and in this moment able to re-write any that are negative or destructive. In this moment, we simply re-record the music track of our lives, to the music we want for our lives. It is our movie, and we are the writers, directors, and actors. – H.W. Mann	added by howardmann 7 years ago
