It’s that time again when I find myself starting to judge. We all have our little problems like “what am I wearing for that event”; “what am I cooking tonight”; “I broke my nail”; “I have a bruise on my knee”… What information is really important to share with the world constantly over the patient internet? At some point, the moment comes when I think to myself: Does the world have no other problems? And that’s exactly when I bring myself back.

Last week I was talking about ignoring the bad behavior of other people to free ourselves from their power over us and for preventing us from dimming our precious light. But there is another point where ignorance can act as a supportive tool of development: Fear

Read more ›Lately, our lovely Himali of Decoding Happiness posted about Silence. This was extremely inspiring and thought-provoking because she asked the reader to think about how ignorance impacted their lives. I don’t want to repeat what I commented on her post but instead, I want to look at a side of ignorance that can even be healing.

It is a serious song and we just laughed and danced to it without noticing the deeper meaning. Now when I read the lyrics I notice how thoughtless this was. I am thinking further. How much do we just do without thinking any further? How often do we hurt people unconsciously and unwittingly only because we don’t think a little over the edge of our plate? We think our life is what counts, our perspective is what counts, and life will just flow on for us the way we are used to. Perhaps we are not aware of it, but that doesn’t matter. Then all of a sudden something starts to wither away because we only painted one side of the house. We do not understand because we still only think from our own point of view. In our desperation, we try to save it by painting the same wall over and over again – how ignorant. And then – when it might be too late – we finally think about walking around the house and seeing clearly. Looking back we are always smarter. We cannot rewind time but we can make it better from now on! That is everything we want but also everything we can offer.
Buffalo Soldier – Bob Marley
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta:
There was a buffalo soldier in the heart of america,
Stolen from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.
I mean it, when I analyze the stench –
To me it makes a lot of sense:
How the dreadlock rasta was the buffalo soldier,
And he was taken from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.
Said he was a buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta –
Buffalo soldier in the heart of america.
If you know your history,
Then you would know where you coming from,
Then you wouldn’t have to ask me,
Who the ‘eck do I think I am.
I’m just a buffalo soldier in the heart of america,
Stolen from africa, brought to america,
Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;
Said he was a buffalo soldier win the war for america.

Troddin’ through the land, yea-hea, yea-ea.
Said he was a buffalo soldier win the war for america;
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;
Driven from the mainland to the heart of the caribbean.
Singing, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Troddin’ through san juan in the arms of america;
Troddin’ through jamaica, a buffalo soldier# –
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival:
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta.
