I need some clarification here.
Are we a wee or a WE?
I always kind of thought wee meant like small, insignificant, tiny, does not matter much and stuff like that.
WE, with all caps is a plural pronoun which suggests the idea of one big collective of individuals bound together, by a single purpose, right?
This word WE is like a real simple – a two letter word which implies WE the people, e pluribis unum (Latin – “out of many, one”). WOW, that sounds really cool, but is we a wee or are we a WE?
No, no, no, I am not talking about the idea or the concept of WE as suggested in the U.S. Constitution. I am referring here to the practice of WE in our daily life.
We are one and together in the sense that we all reside in or are citizens of the same country. On 9/12/01 we all seemed to come together, albeit briefly and it has been suggested that we were bound together by fear. But what happened to that? Did we not return to me, my party, my life, my thing, my money, my agenda and well – me, me, me, my, my, my and mine? Where are WE together now. What is it that WE are bound to?
People normally are bound to each other by a common goal or a common enemy. But if your enemy is not my enemy then they must be my friend and therein, we certainly are not bound together and are not a WE. If my goal or goals is not/are not your goal or goals, we be not a WE. So I guess, in my little pea sized; wee brain perhaps, we must be millions of voices loud, soft or silent, each going in an equal number of directions and therefore, small, insignificant, tiny, does not matter much and stuff like that, a wee.
Are you sick and tired enough to be sick and tired of this?
Over here, someone(s) getting some, all upset about what’s going on over there. Over there, someone(s) has taken upon themselves the battle cry of ’Wake Up’ and seek to wake up others. Over here, some are tired and want to remain asleep. Over there, someone(s) are trying to fix the fixers that f—-d up this and that. Over here, someone(s) trying to give the present fixers a chance to fix what is f—-d up and some say is f—–g it up even more. Over there, ‘You can’t fight City Hall’ (the government), meaning why bother, no one will listen to you anyway. Over here, someone(s), just don’t care until they have to; something bad happens to them personally or somehow they are just forced to make some kind of change.
This and that, over there, over here, me, my and mine is not effective. There is not much power in that as it is just a bunch of me’s and you’s all separated, unlinked in purpose and unbound in will to change. We be a wee.
Now look, I’m not going to leave you hanging. We need read solutions to real problems. In these posts, I am endeavoring to offer some suggestions (ALL FREE OF CHARGE – NO STRINGS ATTACHED – NO HIDDEN AGENDA etc. by the way). But in order for you and I to ever get together on ANYTHING (IF that even is attractive to you and me), we first have to know where we are.
In order for you and I to become a WE, we must first clearly understand that we have been and are acting like millions of wee folk. And if you are offended because,you think I am racially motivated and am an offense to wee folk, it is only because we iz’ wee folk, unwilling to change and become a WE. It is not our differences that prevent us from becoming a WE, it is our indifference that make us a wee.
I am hopeful that we want to leave wee and become WE, so I’ll sign off this post with…
enthused – one of WE
