If you are among those of us who have become disturbed about the way crime has infiltrated our communities and city and so many other unjust things which are causing the lost of vast numbers of our young people and sometimes members of our immediate families. Have you any ideals about a way or ways to combat against these happenings, and if not are you supporting person's and program which are?, reason for my engaging in this conversation with you is for trying to put together forces needed to combat against this madness we now find ourselves facing, to make known to you and others this is your fight also.

Just venting.

I began with the thought of why am I writing this letter, is it because of how I'm beginning to feel about the way things have gone and has been going concerning this journey of my life's commitment in trying to help others, mainly those in the area of boxing/fitness (young and old). As of today it's been thirty five plus years that I've involved myself in others lives as for trying to get them to see and understand their worth as human beings regardless of their monetary statues, culture difference, place of domain and what ever else life hand's out. I've given personal time, monetary and hardship sacrifices in this pursue for helping those which I've come in contact with by way of this venture, it has proven to be sometimes very disturbing and heart- breaking, reason being; most of those I've given years of my time to have and some still today take my commitment for granted and on several occasions have betrayed my trust for what ever reason, it's is as being foreign to me how most and some still today willingly side with the forces that I've try to protect them from, for reason of the potential misery, hardship betrayal and ruin which will be perpetrated on them by way of their acquired choice. I find myself beginning to wonder why do i still commit to trying to help those that for what ever reason seem to sometimes see me as the enemy (some family members included). I guess it has to be because of the way i was raised and my knowing who God is which strengthen's me at times for keeping me on course, there are those that do appreciate and have given notice to benefit from my commitment and work in their lives. Even in my sometimes being weighted down and aggravated in this journey of my life, i truly believe it to be my God establish purpose in life to continue on this path of helping others.

Signs of the times.

If there's any doth about what is and has been relayed to those of us who honestly seek truth, all one has to do now is look around and see that the things and people that they relied on for strength, leadership and support are from time to time changing in their so call commitment and or promises for what ever reason, and even a government has proven itself to be at sometimes subject to change. When one has given his/her selves over to a belief in people or thing and is willing to live and die by, should en there be substance in that person or thing for the generating of what is to supposedly be. I strongly believe that anything or anyone that has the attracting power for attention of any to encased themselves in it's doctrine,, should be willingly open for test of it or their so called origin.

Darker then the darkest time.

One doesn't have to look far back into the history of what was then a time of darkness for African Americans (Black folk). A time in where black male and females were product for exchange,abuse, rape, beatings, hangings and seen as having the character of a mule for back breaking work, there were those brought in for reason; to make sure the mind-set would be establish for black men and black women to see the other in eyes of hatred, and the male figure as being weak in the area of providing security for his women and family. Today's time has just about proven to be darker than that of the previous history for black folk, reason being; a great deal of black males disrespecting and attacking their women and family member's, disrespect for those of the elderly statues, both male and female exhibiting a medium of hatred toward one another that would of made Willie Lynch look as being a choir boy. Some of our youth left to their way of thinking brought on by being ignorant to who they are. The only difference in the comparison's of the two time's seem to be, the new slave masters looks just like (us) you and I. Written by: Coach James Joseph. "Copyright 4/7/2011 James Joseph.

There's no getting around it.

It is as if being able to notice the nose on your face as the evidence of how those you try your best to help and or care about, causes you so much undue heart-ache, misery and discomfort and all under the power of their ignorance which they attain to be wisdom. God knew what he was doing when he preceded today's generation with mine on this planet, are there probably wouldn't be any way of fixing this craziness of today's way of thinking and living.
