Realize YOUR power...

One of my colleagues from China asked me...in India, women are treated so badly, isn't it...CNN had something in the news about it.

What is happening in the world today - all plain unbelievable inhumane acts of violence. Wars everywhere that is benefiting no-one! And..everyone with power and voice are doing nothing! How long can we ALL sit around and hope somebody else will open their mouth and say STOP and enough is enough??? President Obama? Democrats? Republicans? Prime Minister Modi? US? India? China? Russia? UK? UN? I can only sit and whine...is that it???

I go on with my 'normal' life - going to work, taking care of home, kids, like posts on FB, listen to songs, and replace any thoughts of people (kids!) being killed and of kids being raped in India! Doesn't anyone have any sense of humanity left in them? Don't I have it in me? What CAN I do?...I feel HELPLESS but can no longer ignore what I see and hear...

I truly wish for change...to see a world where kids can roam the streets without the fear of guns, bombs, or ..being raped! As adults, let us make sure they are given the chance to live, a chance to realize who they are! Parents, Kids, EVERYONE...let us be aware and let us stay vigilant. 

React, respond, Make aware, and Educate kids - both boys and girls! Pay attention to the kids in your community, know the names, the parents, be aware of your surroundings...look, listen, and react!
