Interesting Thoughts

This past weekend I attended a Buddhist retreat.  I thought these words, known as the Five Remembrances were worth sharing.  

1. I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old.

2. I am of the nature to have ill health. There is no way to escape ill health.

3. I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death.

4. All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change.
There is no way to escape being separated from them.

5. My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand.

What actions will you take to challenge the white privilege that damages our society?
