Prone Rome. Built in 7 days. 1 day to reflect and notice that it is all good. It looks bad now but have faith that it is all good. ...yes. Even Roman's die. But God loves unleavened bread. Who are you to say I am not dead? Who are you to say I am Gentile or Jew? Who are you? Gentile or Jew? Who completely knows you? Descendant of the Roman empire you. Down goes Rome! Down goes Rome! Prone Rome. A place I call home. A slave to sin no more. Yes! Even Romans die! #crownmeking👑 #poeticqueen💗 #YoMeduza #sheisme #downgoesrome #sinsandforgiveness #balancethescales⚖️ #loveallwholovelove #biblepoetry https://www.instagram.com/p/CDb66z4BE99/?igshid=1z50dj9ufje9

Special Rights (or how you balance a scale)

When I was a kid, I heard more than my fill of family members complaining about people demanding ‘special rights.’

“I don’t have a problem with the gays, I just don’t think they should be asking for special rights.”

“I don’t have a problem with the coloreds, I just think they need to stop asking for special rights.”

When I was a child, it took some time for me to understand what ‘special rights meant.’ It was code for “the same rights I have.” 

This fear of ‘special rights’ - of ‘having the same rights’ was more a fear of loss than it was a fear of the other. Somehow, in their minds, ‘rights’ was a zero sum game with only so much in the pot - so if more people had access to rights, there was this gut wrenching fear that somehow a monster was going to take away the rights my family already enjoyed.

It was completely unfathomable for many of my family members and their friends to grasp the concept that bringing someone up doesn’t mean you are losing.

Times have started to change - more people understand that equal rights for all is not only fair, but is (despite the hypocrisy of being written by men who owned slaves) what the founders of this country wanted for the United States.

The time has come to balance the scales.

It sounds easy, just make both sides weigh the same, and we have equality.

If it sounds too easy, it’s because it is much more complicated that that.

Here’s the mind blowing thought for this post - when a scale is unbalanced, you can’t make both sides weigh the same by treating both sides equally.

When a balancing scale that has 50 lbs on one side and 10 lbs on the other, you will never, never be able to make the two sides balance by treating both sides equally. If you put 40 lbs on the lighter side - then someone cries out, “but wait, you aren’t treating both sides equally - that’s not fair.” Then, someone puts 40 more pounds on the other side - you know, so that we are treating both sides the same - now we are left with a scale that has 90 lbs on one side and 50 lbs on the other.

For those of us on the heavier end of the scale - remember, it will never be balanced until we acknowledge equal treatment will just keep the scales out of balance. Yes, it can be scary to feel things shifting under your feet, but when the end result is a scale that is balanced - a society where we are in fact equal - take courage and just say no when someone tries to put more on your side of the scale in the name of treating both sides equally.
