Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph. - Haile Selassie I wanted a lighthouse. Maybe I was supposed to BE the lighthouse. Either way, the fact is that at the moment life has a way of slowly putting a pillow over your face as you try to sleep. A slow and steady suffocation. I wish it was all of a sudden so that you could instantly deal with it and leave it in yesterday’s wake. Right now this ...

I know that I have touched on this subject but it is so important to me that I feel I must explore it yet again. And in more depth and clarity.
