As we live from day to day, we must carry out a self examination of our selves as individuals, we must ask ourselves questions, and get our selves some answers, and try to see those mistakes which we have made each day, especially as it relates to insulting or hurting other Creatures, and that include our black brothers and sisters. When we make mistakes, by insulting or offending each other, one of the greatest thing that we can do, is to reason about our mistakes, and try to correct them, by making not just an apology, but a genuine apology from the top and bottom of our hearts and minds. He or she who voluntarily make a genuine apology, uplift his or her self into the great Arena of peace of mind. When one makes a genuine apology, it removes a certain mental burden from his or her internal mental faculties, and free up his or her conscience, to reason again with that same person or persons, with whom there was a disagreement.
For us to redeem ourselves, from the mental and physical slavery in which we are today as African people, we have to cultivate better ways of talking to each other, and better ways to care for each other. We are all capable of making mistakes, because making mistakes is a big part of our lives, and there are times in each of our lives, that our thinking becomes so shallow, that we make mistakes not even know it. We should therefore make it our duty to correct our brothers and sisters, when it is revealed to us, that they have made a mistake against us, instead of we making the same mistake against them as a form of revenge, for right away with that kind of behavior it will be fire for fire, and that is the way world wars are created. If it is revealed to us, that a brother are sister has made a mistake, try to correct the brother or sister with kind words, for grievious words stir up anger, but kind words turneth away wrath.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self determination to African people everywhere.
ONE BLACK HEART ONE BLACK LOVE
