It was today. I really enjoyed and learnt some new stuff from those who fought for human equality. I sometimes try to find my place in all this, and sometimes I feel we are not respecting and taking advantage of what our elders did for us...
Meeting some real time freedom riders from 1961 freedom ride was a great time and hoping to get some enthusiasm and compassion from them to serve the human kind I belong to.
I didn't like the attitude of one of the main freedom rider but then its my choice how I take others words and others actions, its on me not on others. I do wish people notice the humanity on those big shots first before they say that these people have done something real big. I believe that change starts from within and first person to change is YOU, not the world. I trust that if everyone will fix their own family issues the world will be a beautiful place. I do wish as a human we are able to look at yourself first before pointing fingers on others.
I know the world is all the time ga ga ga ga about Gandhi. I respect him and his philosophy of nonviolence, but my issue has always been his own character. he use to hit his wife, he never cared for his alcoholic son, he never gave in for his family but he was the father to the nation... Just ranting I guess!
We also saw a documentary on freedom riders' struggle from 1961 and the era...I was really impressed. I wish I can make documentaries like that; strong and to the point!

P.S. - I always feel guilty of not able to change my family first before studying to be a social worker for others' families...I do want to change and bring awareness to my parents, siblings, their partners and kids, I wish someone can teach me how to be a social worker for my own family. I can only wish to get the strength to be the pillar for them, when they need me, when they want me! Amen!
