Eid Mubarak

Assalamualaikum (Peace Greeting),

        I just wanted to say “Eid Mubarak” to everyone in the spirit of peace, unity, understanding and good will.  I pray that this year will bring about some positive points of light in many ways, and with that, we can collectively agree to disagree without resorting to acts of violence and that cooler heads can prevail with the art of debate and agreement working as it should.  We have so many things to work on.  Which ones do we start on?  The answer is to look in your own yard and honestly assess what you can do and what you cannot.  The things you can accomplish- do them, and the things you cannot, say so and work together to make progress on heavier tasks.  The maxim “Lead, follow or get out of the way” sounds good right now.  I hope that more people choose the first two and less of the latter.  If one chooses to do nothing, then truly stay out of the way and do not criticize and impede the works of those who choose to make positive changes for the collective good.  As for myself, I am just an ordinary man who chooses to lead and follow, as necessary.  I know my actions alone will not amount to earth-shaking changes, but I can work with you and together we can be giants.  That is all I can do.  I can also dream of a better world and work with you to help get us to that place. Wish you all have wonderful day.

Assalamualaikum and Eid Mubarak to everyone.
