I believe everyone has the natural unalienable right to live their lives however they see fit, so long as they're not infringing on the natural unalienable rights of another. You don't obtain respect by the color of your skin, gender or title in society. You get respect by first giving it.
I strive to live my life as holistic as I possibly can. I use things like crystals, essential oils, tarot cards and more. I meditate and practice yoga among other things. Just because I meditate, doesn't mean I won't make a stand for what is right.
Once you realize that everything in society is based off of man-made artificial social constructs, your life will become much easier. I don't play the victim card, the race card, the political card or the religious card; as they are social constructs created by man to divide and distract.
