In high-school I delivered a Remembrance Day speech that explained how our generation could not “remember”, and perhaps we could instead “acknowledge” what happened in order to better value our current day freedoms.
While acknowledging is important, today I feel that we have shifted far beyond reinforcing this old-school paradigm of global violence.
It’s 11/11/11, and now we have the opportunity to authentically live a life of conscious co-creation -- where we collaborate with each other -- instead of adhering to institutional authorities and government propaganda.
It’s time to get back to the basics, and truly be with one another.
It’s about people. And if you can remember, remember the lyrics to this song sung by Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder:
And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try to feel
The way we do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
Whoa, and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember, oh
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
Oh, that's what friends are for
Let’s love the world together...
Love,

OUR GOD WHO CREATED ALL OF US LOVES US UNCONDITIONALLY, NO MATTER HOW BAD WE ARE, BUT HE HATES OUR SINFUL NATURE. BECAUSE OF HIS AMAZING LOVE HE WAS WILLING TO SEND HIS ONLY SON, JESUS TO TAKE ALL THE PUNISHMENT OF OUR SINS ON THE CROSS TO RECONCILE US BACK TO HIM .HE NEVER LEAVE US OR FORSAKE US. THIS IS TRUE LOVE. PAUL - MALAYSIA
