WARNING: May contain opinions
These following words are just some thoughts I would like to share,
There is one problem, it keeps showing up in all that’s discussed everywhere, , it spoils the planet we live on, causes poverty, death, destruction, mental health issues, it probably warps the universe. Its not money, money is a thing, harmless, dosent bite. Its not other people, not the banker, butcher, cabinet maker or police man, not the politician nor the homeless, they are just descriptions of peoples role in societies. Its not the IMF, the BBC, the ECB, the FBI or Wallmart, they are just groups of people working for a common purpose. Its not religion of any denomination.We , that is you and me, are the problem. Every destructive decision we make singly is the problem, because a mass of single destructive decisions is a massive disaster in the making.When we each decide to give away our rights and responsibilities to others, we cant complain about their greed and bad decision making, we are the problem . Voting for leaders in any organisation, is giving away your rights and responsibilities to choose what is best for yourself, surely you are in best position to know what is best for you. When we decide to buy that shiny new thing because they told us it was the best, we cant complain if its rubbish or was created in questionable circumstances, because we didn’t check it out first. We have allowed a business with obvious self interest , to choose for us, and grow in the process. When we look at the people who have more stuff than us, and decide that the possessor of those things has so done well, that they somehow have a higher status or more value, we give away our self worth, meaning we have considered ourselves less valuable. Look at what we do in every area of life as individuals, which as a mass, cause ourselves and others all over this planet the problems we are now desperately seeking solutions for. The result is damage, to ourselves, others and the planet, frustration, anger, poverty, and more, depriving us of time and energy for creativity and peace, or causing us to work much, much harder at finding the time and energy for the positive in this brief encounter with this existence. Stop blaming 'them’ and instead accept responsibility, it is our use of life , as a mass of individuals, is the problem.
We were born naked, no creed, status, ideology, no anything, except the breath of life and a bag of bones. come to this existence composed of energy in this form we hold. We will leave this existence, the energy to be redistributed as the chaos of nature allows.
What if ? What if we each stopped being the problem, yes you and I together, If we stopped choosing leaders, standing with organisations and groups which we don’t fully or truly believe in, stopped choosing sides, stopped seeing others or ourselves as better or worse, less important or more important. What if we choose to buy what we want or need, rather than what we are sold, physically, mentally and spiritually. We can imagine into existence, a world of peace, hope and abundance, the tools and materials are already there.
We must protest the ignorance, the greed, the corruption, the arrogance , the fear, out of our lives, personally, locally, globally . Take the power out of power structures, by showing the world in whatever way we can, en mass and individually, that those systems are destroying our lives and their lives. Show how consent to be governed, ruled over or dictated to is obtained under threat of imprisonment, being fined or physical force. Show how lies and deception are used to make people believe that some are more equal than others. Show how no being is any more or less valuable than any other.

Where to begin…first - I apologize for this being so LONG everyone knows I hate wordy drawn out blogs so ... karma? Who knows.
There’s a small retaining pond behind the college apartments. I go back there several times a day; it’s a good area that forces me to have a bit of a walk. …

I was just endiing a campaign in Michigan against our Governor, and wondered what more was out there, what more can I do to help make my country the place I used to love, when I stumbled across a thing called Livestream, where people with the same purpose (supposedly) or like mindness could come together, chat, discuss, plan, and act and I was to say the least, excited. I started chatting and made so many friends and it was then I realized, that I had been wrapped up in my own small…
