‘’EVERY LIVES MATTER, AND THAT’S WHAT MATTERS”

Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. Standing in front of you is a lady with a mission.
A mission that can change once perception. To enlighten you up and value something
you have.
Nowadays, we’ve heard lots of news about the issues like racism and such things.
Hashtag black lives matter, every lives matter. Racism is a big no. No to racism, no to
discrimination, no to inequality, but yes to unity and yes to equality.
Imagine, what if a light bulb was the cure to racism, discrimination, sexism, or even
classism? Do you know what people and light bulb have in common? We both express
different colors, we have different shapes, different sizes, and we are manufactured or
made in different places. Some of us are bright, some of us are dim, some of us are
clear, and some of us are broken. We appear to be very different on the outside. But the
thing about this lights is that there is one current running through each bulb. Just like a
circuit that has lots of bulb in our homes or even in the TLE subject. And in the same
time, there is a singular current running through each person in this world and on this
planet.
It doesn’t what you look like. It does matter your race, gender, or nationality. That’s just
the bulb. Inside of all that is who you really are. Energy. Do you believe in your energy?
Do you believe you have energy? Let me give you an example. Imagine, you have a
friend named Ish, and you been visiting to her to the hospital because she’s sick. Until
one day, Ish didn’t survive the operation and you said “Ish died, my friend died.” But her
body is still there, her gender, her race, but you said “Ish died, my friend died” because
you think of her that she’s not just a human body, and that she’s more that’s just her
body. She was the intelligent energy that gave life to her body.

Energy is what we are. And energy has no color. It’s not a republic or democratic.
White or black. It’s not Roman Catholic, Muslim or Born again. Energy is you! Energy is
me! And energy is all of us! We are intelligent, creative, universal energy in this world.
And if all of us understand that, then we would know what wise men and women have
been trying to tell us since the down of time. That we are one. Without using your
thoughts, association, perceptions, emotions, or memories, you will never discover the
value of your life and the value of once life. Just like what Pierre Teilhard De Chardin
had said “We are not human beings having a spiritual experiences, we are a spiritual
beings having a human experiences”.

There might be so many labels, identities, Cultures, religions, and even political
affiliation and culture barriers that can divide us, remember that our connection is so
simple one, and greater than all those barriers. Energy is who you are. Energy is who
truly are and energy is how we know we are one.

Black live matters, every lives matter. Live freely because we are one energy.
We are not supposed to kill and discriminate others but to love, respect and accept
each other because we are one. We must not build blocks and labels or even a rank to
each one of us but to build ways for us to become closer. We must not close doors but
open it wide open. Embrace yourself and embrace others.

I want all of you to open your eyes to widen your mind that each person in this
world has a value, and each of them were a light bulb. That we must not destroy and
end once light just for us to be lighter. Let us be lighter and brighter all together.

This is Risha Mae Salingay telling all of you that life has a value. Each life has a
value. We value life. Every lives matter. No to racism, no to discrimination, no to
inequality, but yes to unity and yes to equality. We value life. Thank you.
