Who We Are

They say that what we put into life is what we get out of it. What if I told you that that's only half the story. What if I told you there is a second half that people miss. It's right in front of their eyes, and yet they fail to see it. It is: The truth we seek within ourselves can be found in what we do for others. In no other place can a man be truly tested. For if we do unto others what we would have done unto ourselves, we would fail. We need to do unto others thrice what we would have done to ourselves. It is only through this circle of altruism that we can survive as a race. Not the race of Whites, or Blacks. Hispanics or Asians. But the human race. For a man can only see his inner soul when he is confronted with a situation that calls for his own sacrifice for the benefit of others. How he acts in that situation... that is what determines who he is. Who he really is. We talk about heroes. We can't afford heroes. The only way we survive is for each and every one of us to become that hero. Make the word hero become so common that it becomes a first name for a million babies around the globe. Let's make it so that when someone is called a hero, the meaning is not diluted by any means, but the receiver almost shrugs it off, as if called tall, or short. AS a people we need to come together as one. We need to unite as a people. As heroes. For the truth we seek within ourselves can be found in what we do for others.
