When I first decided that the name of this blog post would be “Exodus”, I strongly believe I must have been in the shower or a few minutes out of it.
I am like that…I am sure many of you do get your ideas in ways similar to this or even in much weirder ways, isn’t it?

Now, I look at the synonyms of the word itself, I see “migration”, “departure”, “emigration” and “mass departure” among a list of other words that can be used to mean “Exodus”.
Are you thinking what I am thinking?

So many people, as we speak, are moving from one place to another out of necessity and not a prank
Many of whom are trying to escape one awful situation to possibly getting refuge in a much better situation
Many others are simply tired of the scenery around them where they’ve been and now are making an exodus to new scenery

Many others just want to move away….
An Exodus isn’t a bad thing, after all
The only bad that can happen, begins immediately when they start their journey…the obstacles (the human and non-human)

No one is illegal
It’s the policies “in and out of heads” that “deem” a human being illegal and are illegal, themselves
Who makes these policies? May be, it’s the people we once talked about….that wear suits and bald heads, eh!

Make your exodus today
May your path be swept clean for you, of all obstacles
See you on the other side!
Some great thoughts here mate. I believe we are one planet and one race, so we should be able to freely move where we like. Of course, sadly Governments do not let this happen which just creates more division and conflict.
😩😩😩
This is very powerful stuff. I think it’s so important to remember that everything is in how you look at it.
👏🏿👏🏿
This is amazing. Love the choice of the word Exodus. Very fitting. Totally agree that no one is illegal.
👏🏿👏🏿
Exodus to me is a very personal word. I not only come from a family of refugees who were forced into exodus, I myself immigrated across the world to improve my standard of living and career prospects.
😌😌😊 I’m glad to hear this!
There is so much going on in the world causing these various journeys. May everyone have an exodus that is safe and without obstacles.
👏🏿👏🏿 🤞🏽
I love how moving your message is. You’re right, there are no equal privileges around the world. Those who have known hardship would only dream of a good life for their family and for themselves. I’ll have to admit that it has crossed my mind to take my family to a place with better opportunities. Still, enjoying the privileges in another land is not guaranteed because we’re foreigners. The priority is always the locals.
😌😩 sadly so!
I love the message of your post and this blog in particular. Keep it up! You’ll go far and surpass all the challenges in life.
👏🏿👏🏿 thank you.
Powerful post. Very thoughtful and insightful – we are all one world!
🙏🏽👏🏿
Great post! Like the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, make your exodus a great and worth it.
🙏🏽👏🏿
Honestly, I can not wait for the day that everyone will be free to travel everywhere and live anywhere they want.
👏🏿🙏🏽
Exodus is a powerful word and it seems you made the correct choice. The world, its countries and rules and regulations hope to change so we all feel we are free to choose where we want to be part of.
🙏🏽👏🏿
I say.. May everyone have an exodus that is safe as possible.
🙏🏽👏🏿
I agree that we all are on our own exodus in one way or another. Some literally, some more figuratively.
🙏🏽👏🏿
While I am heading to Jerusalem tomorrow the important moment of the biblical stories keep coming up, thanks a lot for sharing this.
