WOKE – Not A Good Idea?
What is WOKE – Not a good idea?
Original Definition: “Being aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues, especially issues of racial and social justice.”
How do we move forward NOW?
That meaning feels like a valuable intention for an evolved society and for the world itself.
Yet it has become a politically charged word! Could we approach this topic with an open mind to see it from a new perspective?
When the extremes from any view block a NEW view of possibilities, it’s time to find something we have in common and seek to build from that. It’s amazing when humanity experiences catastrophic disasters through mother nature we can and do come together. The inquiry is not what are your politics – it’s how can we help one another through survival.
Throughout history, humans have engaged in horrific violence, conflict, and warfare, often associated with religious motivations. Quite a paradox!
I approach the word WOKE – as my call to personal AWAKENING for greater compassion on multi-levels – for myself and for all around me. May I value historical truth which is now available! May I realize the importance of what I stand for and the energy and passion I bring to valuing my life and purpose.
Our planet is experiencing significant conflicts in various areas, including religious beliefs, political views, ethnicity, race, and gender issues. This is a crucial moment where the issue is whether we can care enough about our survival to have genuine compassion for one another across the world.
Yes – we have a world that has been rooted in prejudice, violence, and the beliefs of those with privilege and others NOT. It’s a big challenge to heal, but I can start by healing my own life first. I redefine that word healing as NEW understanding, forgiveness, and self-love and regard that I pass on to all, without exception.
