Necessary

There are certain steps that must be taken to ensure a certain outcome. We all have a path that must be traveled. We have prerequisites that must be completed. There are certain things that are deemed necessary. In society, there are rights of passage. In politics, there are necessary evils. In war, there is collateral damage. In life, there are acceptable losses. They are all necessary lessons. Maybe we should change our perspective on this year. Maybe this is what it takes to see the change we’ve been wanting to see. Maybe this is the year where the mass injustices not only get exposed but dealt with legally. Maybe this is the year that is the catalyst for national reform. Maybe this is just what we needed to grow individually and collectively. Maybe this was necessary for us.
