Theories of Thought - November 2008

On This Historic Day

Favorite Links: http://www.theoriesofthought.com

As I take a break from writing for the many publications that showcase my words, I am blessed to have a neutral forum to vent out, the many thoughts that are now traveling through my mind onto this theory. Today, Tuesday, November 4th, is a day many had no clue, would be so life altering, many years back. On this day, many people will see things they thought they would never see, and even though we all are truly blind to what is happening in front of us, what is to come, may be even more, life altering as we have our eyes opened by choice, force or naturally. On this day, "Hope", has a new meaning. The word "Hope", will and has grown up in front of us, and now has evolved into "Possible", and more than likely, that word, turned into another word, "Probable", as we embark on another day that is historic. You see if you know it or not, I am or have a ripple affect on many in cyberspace, and many read my words and relate them to their lives, which is good, and also bad. My passion, besides business, is writing, and I have developed into somewhat of a phenomenon online, in speaking my mind in thoughts, that sometimes can be, a gift and a curse. Many ask my opinion, many send me emails and wonder, why do I do what I do, and how did I become what I have become. Well its a two way street, and carrying the decorative basket of responsibility of "The Gift and The Curse", is not easy. That takes us to today, and the things many will cheer for, but only from a distance because, they are part of the weight that will be put on these two mens shoulders, as the campaign for the highest job in the land. Regardless on the turn out and or outcome, today is going to be historic, and many lives will change, as well as many, stay the same. As a black man living in America, I have shed a many tears for Senator Obama, and wonder, what gives him the strength to carry the weight of his people in his arms, and how strong can he be, before those more powerful, take advantage of his weaknesses. As a young entrepreneur that retired from Wall St. at 36 years old, I understand the state of the economy, and thank President George Bush for providing me with more shelters that the Salvation Army. So I am selfishly supporting, Senator John Mc Cain, even though I feel in my heart, his heart is not right for the masses, but right for me and those of my likeness. Because lets face it and be brutally honest, many could care less or give a hot dam about if Joe the Plumber gets to send his children to college, but we, well those that know what I am talking about, sure in the hell do care about if he can come over and fix my sink or toilet we use three or more times a day. So I am torn, torn to go and vote for what is right, while feeling the force on welcoming, what is wrong for me, my conscience, family and more. So what would you do, if someone ask you questions that you know may not be the popular one to answer, but right for them to question you since their and your opinion, counts? How would you react, if you knew what you were doing, could and would change life for the better, but maybe, hurt what you have profited from for many years? Its almost like being the parent of two children, and you were asked, which one do you love more? Which would you spare and which one would you let perish? Who would you feed if there were only one bite left? Its a tough question and in the end, there can only be one winner, one loser, one answer, cast by, one choice. That raises the question, "Does one little vote really count?" I say yeah it does, because to get to a million, two million, ten billion or whatever, you must start with one. So to the cynics out there, the stereotypical people that will judge me and not the candidates, I say to you, vote! Vote for things you believe in and for one minute, think of those you care about and in the next minute, things that do not care about you. Vote, go out and be heard. Represent change because if you do not, things will stay the same. Both of these men are great, and have gone beyond our own imagination. Both of these candidates have represented "Hope", that has now evolved into "Possible" and more than likely, will become "probable", as we sit back and cheer for things we all benefit and suffer from. Today is historic, as the next day, will be the first step of many for whoever is elected. So think where you could be one year from now. Think of where you were a year ago. Think of the changes, the things that stayed the same, and your participation in making those things happen. I am sending this out to my viewers, all 700,000 of them, and posting this on websites all over the world. Why, well why not. I want my voice to be heard in silence, when you cast your vote on love, life and change. Today is going to be historic, and for once, I will do the right thing, for the right reasons, to make my forever, right now. Thank you for reading, and please, pray for the loser, as you do, the winner, of a race we have no idea, how hard it is to run. This is Anthony Douglas Gere saying to you, VOTE! Vote for you, for others and for change on this historic day. And as usual, please, Enjoy The Moment
