Namaste my friends and fellow knowledge seekers, welcome, this blog is for YOU. Today I want to talk about some of the problems that we have as a society and suggest some possible solutions. This will be a short blog, so hang in there and relax...
Do you ever wonder why the near constant problems of the world never seem to end? It doesn't really seem to me that there's really much room for misunderstanding as the fact of the matter appears plain and simple to me. THE PROBLEMS NEVER GET FIXED BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WITH MONEY DON'T WANT THEM TO BE FIXED. Is this such a difficult concept for us as Americans and humans to understand? Think about it like this for me if you will... This country has enough revenue coming in from the United States of America Incorporated machine that it could take care of and feed the entire population of the nation. However, the government spends the majority of it's money on bombs, bullets and bullshit in countless wars that ALWAYS leaves the public on the short end of the stick. EVERY TIME that our government makes ANY kind of budget cuts, it is ALWAYS cut first and foremost from essential public services such as welfare, Medicare, Social Security, education, etc.
Here's the deal... if they wanted the problems of the world fixed... they would fix them. Our education system for our children is BAD. The government WANTS the population to be fat, lazy, stupid, and obsessed with pettiness and greed... the LAST thing the government wants is an informed populace capable of rational thinking and problem solving... that sort of thing leads to REVOLUTION.
If the gov't wanted the economy fixed, the solution would be to simply make the wealthiest individuals pay a higher percentage of the taxes. However, the corporate business world has put the American economy into a choke hold by threatening to lay off jobs and FORCE the economy into a recession if their profit margins are damaged, foregoing their responsibilities to the American public. It shouldn't be a foreign concept for businesses to actually TAKE CARE OF their employees with stock options, medical care, vacation pay, and bonus incentives. INSTEAD, EVERYONE, from top to bottom is ONLY concerned with getting their portion of the money. NO ONE is willing to sacrifice their little piece of the pie, even if it would drastically effect the greater good of the ENTIRE population, rather than the system we have now that only hoards the wealth of a once great nation in the hands of the few.
So what can we do to fix problems? Well, the first thing we need to do is CHANGE our SELVES. Second is to change our PARADIGM to one of NOT DEPENDING on the government BACK to the time where we are dependent on only our communities and fellow humans, aiding one another with humility, humanity, and compassion. I know that sounds like a foreign concept to many. UNPLUG FROM THE TELEVISION... people have been convinced that the world is full of bad guys, and people want to think that they are so much different. People are just OPPORTUNISTIC! There are NO BAD GUYS AND NO GOOD GUYS... JUST A BUNCH OF GUYS... and EVERYONE is just trying to get some chips and take care of their families and loved ones.
In reality it isn't such a difficult concept to imagine and it isn't out of reach. Like so many things, though, it DOES take EFFORT... often lots of it, and therein lies the root of the problem. There are a lot of people who WANT to be lazy and not put out a lot of effort. It seems to be enough for many to just go to their little rat in a cage job, spin the wheel endlessly for little compensation, and then come home to hide within the 4 walls of the emotional jail cells that many create for themselves, often deliberately separating themselves from the rest of society, feeling inadequate and incomplete for lack of positive human interaction...
So the system is broken. We can give up and let our rights and freedoms go so the nanny state can take care of us in a fascist kleptocratic dictatorship... it's not too far away now. I really believe that "WE THE PEOPLE" CAN CHANGE. But first we have to STOP buying into a broken system that is based on corruption, greed, and lies. If we want a better future for ourselves and for our children then we have to stop this "EVERYONE FOR HIS/HER SELF" BULLSHIT! We are ALL in this voyage through the cosmos TOGETHER. There is NO ONE OF MORTAL FLESH AND BLOOD THAT IS BETTER THAN ANOTHER. STOP WITH YOUR FALSE IDOL WORSHIP OF VAIN, MATERIALISTIC "CELEBRITIES"!!! Hollywood CANNOT and WILL NOT EVER be able to teach you or your children morality, ethics, or how to act as a responsible ADULT in modern society. Everything has been reduced to this huge penis contest where the rich have to show off their avarice to us lowly serfs, as if to tell us and show us what we will never have, for the sole purpose of keeping the general populace unaware and unconcerned with reality around them, so eager to emulate their false idols. So we have a constant void in the souls of Americans filled with STUFF and a constant promise of "you'd be happy if you had THIS new shiny product". But it DOESN'T make you happy. And thus the American people who bought into this easy life idea of the American Dream have been left feeling like they didn't get a fair share of the pie, depressed and over-medicated, lethargic and listless, a pharmaceutical zombie nation...
It would be better if there was more of a FAMILY influence where people cared more about the welfare of others than their own little greedy desires. It would be better if there was more people who would do random acts of kindness and pay it forward, a few seconds out of the day of good karma that would make the whole world a brighter place. It would be better if people would open up their eyes and see just how bad it really is when the government is making NATURE ILLEGAL, for Christ's sake's!!! I have taken it upon myself, at risk of my own safety and sanity to try to help awaken others so that we can change the world for a POSITIVE way, rather than this seemingly endless negative downward spiral that we are currently on. I am not without hope, for I have seen many a silver lining on even the darkest clouds... often it must be looked for, but it is there nonetheless.
Healing the world is NOT about good triumphing over evil, because evil only begets more evil. Also, without evil, strife, and hardship there would be no basis for comparison for individuals to appreciate the good times of this world, the beauty and genuinely wonderful things. What MUST happen is that we have to look inside and learn to ACCEPT who we are as individuals, flawed and frail at times, but also strong and courageous at others. It is our innate duality of being BOTH positive AND negative that makes us special. This trait has assisted our species to become the dominant species on the planet. But with great power comes great responsibility. It is like a yin/yang. It is our duty to find a harmony WITHIN, accepting of our duality and learning to use the duality TOGETHER... only then when we have healed our own inner demons and reconciled the battles that we have with our selves can we break out of this cycle of negativity, depression, and self-defeat. It is NOT out of reach, but again we must actively TRY, each and EVERY DAY to be better people, to NOT let our fears control us and shackle our minds into imaginary prisons. It's a simple choice, but it is a choice nonetheless. Failure to chose is still a choice. Are you going to help fix the problems of the world, starting with yourself? OR are you going to be part of the problem? It's up to you... I know which road I'm taking, the path less traveled. You are on the verge of pre-mature enlightenment... follow the white rabbit... you never know where it will lead you. The answer to 2012 is 1776!
This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse.
Peace. Love. Self-respect. Compassion. Solutions.
