I haven’t made any posts about this “conflict” stuff, except for one excerpt from a blogger who was trying to explain why Hezbollah has such an influence in that area. I just wanted to make a comment about me, which in turn has lead me to think of a few other comments…

I’ve been watching a few hours a day of news coverage. Yet, I really make no comments or posts on my blog, and really don’t discuss with anyone. I have a lot of opinions. I feel fairly knowledgeable and confident in my views. I am not an expert, but I would bet a lot of money that I am way more informed than a lot of others who speak a lot, and with a loud voice.

How many other subjects and hot topics are out there, that “experts” know a lot about, but don’t talk about with anyone? I bet there are many. It’s a privilege to be able to share opinions. It’s a privilege to be able to disagree or agree – openly and generally without any real fear of harm to me or anyone I know. It’s an amazing thing to feel “free”.

I’d love to say that I am aware and I don’t take it for granted. I think a better way to say that is to say that I am so blessed, I take it for granted every day, and I hope to be sensitive and aware of those who are not able to enjoy that freedom. My heart goes out to the lives that are so <I’m searching for the right words, but can’t find them.> mental-nerve-damaged, and upset, and violated, and impacted, and challenged – either because they don’t have this freedom, or because they have life happening to them in a way that all they can do is respond. They are not able to go make life turn out in a different way, like we can in the US.

I want my new job to be able to have an impact. What impact will that be? What influence will I have? What experiences from my life will I be able to leverage? I have no doubt that I will be impacted and changed from any job I have. I am much more aware now, about how I may be able to impact others. That’s big.

I’m excited, invigorated, pressed, delighted, and confident – towards my new job and this new job search that will start on Monday. I’m also very, very, very blessed.
