Every time you hear news of "big men" conquering the world, remember those who got in the way and died before they knew they were in danger.
For centuries we have glorified the power of "great" warriors, their ability to kill thousands, control land, wipe out any semblance of peace, control people and animals, rewrite religious texts, ordering the people to follow, remember what you are glorifying is the ability to discard any connection to your heart and mind and your ancestors.
Life is not a simple screen that you can re-arrange like a chess-board. Cherish your life, cling to what freedom you have that doesn't hurt others. Be kind to yourself.
The broken world wants you to be what will benefit them. Be what you need yourself to be. Your life is not just an opportunity to invest in the economy. The economy is what you might produce but it's not the reason for your being here.
Sing, dance, write, draw, play, listen and laugh.
