Rebellion is power.

Rebellious do, the right thing.
I respect and admire those who stand up for their believes, those who see the world different, those who are not afraid to speak up their mind. I admire those  who have the courage to tell  the untold stories , the things we all  know about but few dare  to say out loud, the ones that want to destroy the secrecy .   I think that those who stand up, speak , act and do something  are those who make justice exist in this world. I can’t imagine history without those who wanted independence, the ones who fought against slavery or the ones that believed that we should all be equal regardless of color ethnicity or social statues.  People who want to expand freedom, people who go against rules. People who wants liberty equality and rights for all and they go beyond their imaginations to make things happen. I am a Rebellious by nature I can accept concepts and rules without questioning the purpose of a common cause. I admire persons who believe in honesty and value the true, but sadly in our actual world less and less people have this valuable skills. Instead we have more selfish and greedy politicians, business owners, associations and even whole corporations with the thirst of power and endless ambitious. The world that we have is reflected by those who are greedy and  only think about themselves instead of being  trustworthy leaders and focus on the needs of population, the future of our kids and everyone’s well  the focus on what is the best capital the best revenue the best investment . It’s hard to find corporations that can take decisions without focusing in the profit first, most member of corporations detach from acting  like humans , in the professional environment very few colleges, manager, bosses , CEO care about the personal lives of their employees, and that is where  I  believe that the business model starts to act selfish  when every single member of a corporation try to ignore the emotional part of being human and instead try to work as a machine efficient productive useful , but senseless. No one at a office work will care about a college facing personal problems instead of offering any kind of support  corporations will have that person fired the moment personal issue will affect the company’s expectative. Finding somebody else that could be capable of being productive is very easy and as many say no one is irreplaceable. How can we all be against something that we are all part of? . Corporations secure their incomes first it’s all about the money as long as they have their money they won’t stop to think about others . We are facing a time where companies have make their profits out of others suffer an example of this is the housing crisis, thousands of families have lost their houses do to irregular interest rates on their mortgage control by banks which are obviously securing their money first . Actions like this one can evolve to a series of uncontrolled economic crisis, but again companies won’t worry about because the price will be paid by those who are on the bottom. After the great depression Diego Rivera express this kind of situation on his famous mural ‘’Frozen Assets’’ in which he painted his emotions and reveal what his eyes saw ,about bankers and the duel that people from the low class can feel  and face when corporations build their capital over peoples suffering , Rivera lost his job and was forced out of the country after publishing his murals. He was one that decided to do the right thing even when that would mean to lose his job. The 99% occupy movement are those who stand up, those who want to change things and stop corporations from stepping over people’s suffering. Rebellious is power and only the ones who are rebel enough and dare to change things to make them the right way are the ones who fight for our rights. You might not want to camp outside in the cold weather or protest and get arrested but you can support by doing the right thing by not forgetting that we are humans not robots and that is not always about money there are many other valuable values to keep and many other things to archive.

Inspiration = inner aspiration
Inspiration comes and goes right?. The greek metology  believed that inspiration could take the form of a beautiful lady and be  send by the gods. Muses help you  ,guide you and inspire you through  the creation . Therefore the source of knowledge sounds to me  like depending on how good your muse is. The muse could really be the one who decides if  your brain could work or not?.  Does she decide when to turn my brain off and on? .  Well giving it a second thought probably a muse would not work for me I need inspiration 24/7 and even further! . Maybe something like a super heroe would work. Yes that is what I need , but no a fictional I need a real one. One that I can look to for help, advice, and maybe tissue if need it. Now the think is that most people believe that super heroes are super strong, with mega millionaire bank accounts and even  famous. Now again I get to the same question who decides the power and the influence that a person could have in other person?. Okay who knows maybe god, innocence, gratefulness, money?.  Maybe  my admiration for a talent that other person could have? .  who knows the world is weird wild and complicated .. complex . all I know is that my super heroe doesn’t wear his panties over his pants although my grandmothers panties are kind of funny. Yes my lovely and caring grandmother is my hero my muse my brave soldier. She might look sweet but her character  makes her the stronger man I had never met . she raised  five kids by herself , she survive the hardship of being a single mother in a society who excluded and stereotype woman like her. My beloved grandmother  never attend school , she was  poor to do so she learn through life the hard way as she used to tell me. Literacy was not a problem for her even though she did not read or write nobody could fool her and take advantage of her. She knew when a person lie to her, ‘’look into their eyes , hear their breath ,if you cant trust them from the bottom of your heart turn around and move on’’ she said , how she did it , how she knew still a mystery to solve for me . she was  a beautiful woman but  think that she never gave up her soul to any men. My distinguish grandmother never gives up on her ideas and her believes , nobody can break her perseveration and the willing that she has to get things done her way exactly how she wants it. I’m so proud and so bless to have a her blood in my veins there is no a day that I live without think about her bravery and her character. Most of the times when I feel alone and I’m afraid of being a single mom .  I think about my grandmother and she gains more and more respect from me . I never thought that raising a kid without a partner to support you could be so hard and so challenging .  in my weakest times I close my eyes and I think about her  and she fulfills any doubt that I could have in myself. She is not the only strong woman I know , but she is the one I want to become. I pray to god and I work hard so that one day I could have a grandkid that could feel what I feel for my GRANDMOTHER.
