American Equality
Does America’s reputation for being a land of opportunity hold up for every people group? While it is apparent that the United States has failed to live up to its stated ideals, the proportion of people allowed to succeed has expanded over time. From the emancipation of slaves in 1863 to the women’s expansion of rights in 1920, or from the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to the allowance of homosexuality in 2003—and further, the sanctioning of homosexual marriage in 2015—the circle of inclusivity has ever widened as time has passed. However, not every group given equality under the law has thrived. Homosexuals have done increasingly well in the last two decades. While they do report a higher level of suicidal attempts when compared to the general population—63.18 per 100,000 and 14.04 per 100,000, respectively—they average a 10% higher rate of income than the general population.

Raw materials.
I suddenly realised that I don’t have to feel great in order to write. Nor do I have to be inspired and connected to the higher power. It is ideal of course to create from that place. But this world is far from perfect, and so am I. If anything, I doubt that a truly creative person can feel great at all times; their sensitivity is a double edged sword after all. And for the most part, we don’t live in the society that accommodates those with a deeply feeling nature.
