While having a conversation with a close friend at work about the movie, ET, she was telling me that she was bawling at the part where ET points to his heart and says, “ouch.”
As I was thinking of my reply, one thought popped in my head and it was that “the world is in a big ouch” and that is how this blog came to life.
I mean, look around. As much as we don’t want to see the truth, we are in a world of hurt and I do mean, world.
Wars and famine at this time in our society when we have the capabilities to get anywhere, grow anything and communicate anywhere in the world. I don't get it.
Certain people continue to get richer as the mass get poorer yet we as humans keep allowing it. I had another conversation with the same friend and I said that we are brought up a certain way to think and we have to break that pattern. We need to get out of it and find new thoughts that get things done in this world.
People want to be financially rich but not spiritually rich. In the end, what we take when we die is our spirit, not our material things so why do we continue to put material things in the forefront? We are lacking somewhere in our lives or missing something that we desperately need. We have to have the latest gadgets, toys, cars or house. I know so many people who have an iPhone but can barely afford it yet they keep borrowing money from friends to pay that bill but let more important ones go to the wayside because they have to keep up with the Jones. Says who? And furthermore, who gives a shit about the Jones? Care about yourself; your soul, your humanity, the people but not the crap around you.
I realize that we have to work on ourselves first. By ourselves, I mean our country, the United States. We are in dire straits and if nothing is done, more of us will be on the streets than in homes the way the economy is going. Back to the old world style of living off the land. Can you see yourself as a farmer or a laborer?
I see how many foundations and non-profits there are in the country and yet nothing gets fixed. Where does the money go that people donate? It is ridiculous that we are in this mess but we have no one to blame but ourselves. We allowed the government and those organizations to put us where we are today. We voted them in, we donate the money and even if you didn’t, you got stuck with what was voted in or what others donated because you didn't speak up.
What is even scarier is how many evil people are coming out of the woodwork. The things they do to others and get away with for so long before they are caught because we look the other way. We don't want to get involved. We want to be ignorant to what is going on. When do we say enough is enough and get them off the streets and start doling out the punishment we did way back when? It worked that way because people feared for their lives. Now people do something so they can go to jail and be taken care of. Free hot meals, free room and board, free showers, free everything. And who pays for it? We do. Then the jails get overcrowded and they come back to the streets and do more damage.
We have to change things ourselves because we cannot rely on our government to do it now. They are more interested in doing business outside of our country so we keep getting less and less money to run a decent state, let alone a city.
What are you going to do about it?
In peace and in love,
Namaste
