A Hand Up

The overwhelming response not just by individuals, but also by several governments for me to return, I must admit was very overwhelming for me and I thank everyone for their kindness.

The head of the government that did originally have this page shutdown, accusing me of hate and racism, came to an understanding that was never my intention nor to do I believe in such things, but instead to try in the best way I could to help everyone in the world, including them.

It must be understood, I was sent in the best way this government could a formal apology and I will say, I respond with a positive heartfelt response in their behalf.

I will even go further to say, that the fire bombing to my cousin’s store a few weeks ago, while it did make me sad and going so far as to say that the vandalism a few days later. Which to my understanding, did completely shut down the store for good, is not being held against the government, but it is sad that a single person that ordered such a single terrorist act to frighten me and again this government when they found out responded with trying to do the right thing. Again, I say thank you to them.

All the years, that many negative things that have been done to not just myself but my family, while it has made me sad and sometime’s I still shed a tear once in awhile. I have never had animosity against anyone, but always had the hope that everything would get better and I believe in my heart much has and yes, while it still a work in progress, I know one day a common ground will be met where everyone involved will actually appreciate each other and all will be good.

Something, I hope will make people understand me better, is I have always been a positive person even when I do endure extreme conditions, but I never for once had negative thought’s towards anyone. I will say, that often time’s that which did happen, made me understand I wanted it better for other’s because I never for once wanted anyone to ever have to endure my hardship’s. I will even further say it did help me learn more in the need for human compassion.

Furthermore, what come’s to mind, "a hand up brushing someone off is always better, then kicking a person down." I wish we could all in the world, give each other hands up.
