Commitment to Peace

As some view world peace as an idealistic view, others believe that it can be attainable by participating in many events which aim towards uniting every one without the means of violent or immoral actions.  I believe that peace can be obtained and I would like to contribute to society by donating to charities and try to help make a difference in someone's life who seems to be in need of change.  I currently donate to the salvation army and candlelighters because I would like to help make a difference in someone's life who appears to be less fortunate than others.  For future peace commitments, I would be more than willing to become a part of an organization or institution which aims toward helping others.  I enjoy helping others and always get a warm feeling inside me when i see the smiles on individuals faces.  I one day hope to turn peoples' frowns and sadness upside down.

Sin City

This past weekend another tragedy struck Juarez.  A fourteen year old's birthday party was interrupted by a group of armed cartel members, they shot and killed fourteen women and children while a large number of people were left with injuries.  It is sad to see how chaotic and out of control the city of Juarez has become due to the recent drug wars.    Over the past 4 years, Juarez has become one of the most dangerous cities in the world.  I believe that most of these killings are very unnecessary.  The cartel just enjoy making a point that they believe that they can do whatever they want whenever they want, eliminating anyone who opposes them.  I also believe that it is only a matter of time before the innocent bystanders take a stand and begin to fight back against the  drug trafficking and the cartel.

Friend or Foe??

Our enemies are not always what they appear to be.  Enemies to some of us appear to be people we know nothing about and can sometimes turn out to be a reliable trustworthy ally, while some come across as deceiving and malicious. Before labeling an individual as an enemy, we should always look beyond the physical appearance and begin to learn who they are and what their intentions are, then we may decide if they are a true friend, or foe.
