 this was such a revelation to me, when it first hit

i spent the first 30 years of my life trying to think how i could fix the broken system

but there's a point beyond which a system can't be iterated back to good health

so, a new system has to be created, out on the fringes, and slowly, eventually, it eats the old system through brain drain/ attention drain

i thank god for incarnating me at a time where we have the tools to achieve our salvation 

and for igniting the flame within me to believe that a better world is possible

hope > despair 🤙🏻

ps appreciate you Jeff, much love my man 🙌🏼

 Do you recognize that there has always been good humanity in all spheres? 

If not … read this. 

Special Forces Creed
* I am an American Special Forces Soldier! 
* I will do all that my nation requires of me. I am a volunteer, knowing well the hazards of my profession. 
* I serve with the memory of those who have gone before me. I pledge to uphold the honor and integrity of their legacy in all that I am - in all that I do. 
* I am a warrior. I will teach and fight whenever and wherever my nation requires. I will strive always to excel in every art and artifice of war. 
* I know that I will be called upon to perform tasks in isolation, far from familiar faces and voices. With the help and guidance of my faith, I will conquer my fears and succeed. 
* I will keep my mind and body clean, alert and strong. I will maintain my arms and equipment in an immaculate state befitting a Special Forces Soldier, for this is my debt to those who depend upon me. 
* I will not fail those with whom I serve. I will not bring shame upon myself or Special Forces. 
* I will never leave a fallen comrade. I will never surrender though I am the last. If I am taken, I pray that I have the strength to defy my enemy. 
* I am a member of my Nation's chosen soldiery, I serve quietly, not seeking recognition or accolades. My goal is to succeed in my mission - and live to succeed again. 
* De Oppresso Liber
