Our Normalness

We have been born into an evolving civilization. Our civilization is on a planet we call Earth, the only earth thus far. We live in ways that our species has come to think as normal. Especially to the ones who never thought to ask how others live outside of their group. Trapped in our minds with current convenience, we are in a world becoming more tech/social in areas while other parts of our world struggle to have a time to be social. This is only part of our ongoing cycle, not knowing what to do, other than what we were taught, and before most understand our ways are repeated over and over, creating a destructive way for many, and a controlling profit for few. Most succumb to the trauma and stress created from routine normality and day to day living. These lifestyles have emerged from being told our ways are more convenient. To what cost, can we even imagine? We then reflect and deserve the right that plagues our selfish centered lives, to complain, waste, and treat ourselves and others in (somehow) socially acceptable but unacceptable ways. Most, but not all lives are filled with the misfortune of this flawed life-style, centered on ourselves, immediate satisfaction, not our future, causing blind selfishness and a competition for financial freedom, this being a must in most of our eyes before we can help. Our time becomes a trap and an excuse before we can address or accept the real issues at hand. We grow tired and beat, before we can sustain a must need change. We have current problems from past issues that have never been addressed responsibly from our leader’s ongoing mistakes. Alarmingly our children know better in their minds, until they too become lost in this grown-up confusion. Decisions are now financial problems, and we wait for these leaders to figure them out, being convinced our budget is what makes decisions for us, and not our will to live and love.

If I could share

If I could share one thing, that would be everything. Oh how lucky I am to have. If I could be someone, I would be everyone. Oh how lucky I am to be. If I could have one wish , I would wish for the courage to stand together. We each will have our chances to be, and do. I fail too, but for now, there is tomorrow. I will see you out there, and you will see others. We will need a vision for our world soon. We will need each other.

We should start to think about our future

Thoughts for us

It may seem more important the things we individually need, but the real importance is in the things that we all need.

A needed purchase

Do our lifestyles accommodate our consumer products, or do the consumer products accommodate our lifestyles? Technologies are advancing, yet certain ones aren’t. We understand motive, at the very least, the incentive, after seeing that some of these discoveries are held back for the way some things are in place now. Who should control that? There is time when progress for our civilization is going to be needed, and not for profit, but for our civilizations advancement in facing survival. These new products and new ways will never be seen in our current standard of practice, not until some profit can be made by a business, and that profit being more advantageous than the last product of influence provided. These ways need to be addressed alarmingly. When our ways start to revolve around these specific products, then life itself begins to revolve around these products being produced. Even when we escape we are using these products provided to do so. In demand, very few no longer provide the make shift or craftsmen abilities for ourselves. The life lived now is dependent and unobtainable without a paid or exploited group effort from people making these things. Even the homeless that have no means of money live through these products. The fact is we think we need these products to live, which some (most) may in fact need, has made our lifestyle dependent on the people making available and providing these products. We are not as free as we think, unless we can free ourselves from these products. This cannot happen all at once. All involved we chip into what we think needs to be done, for our way of life, whether these ways of life are now being controlled in our best interest or not we need to start realizing the direction. Does it look like we have our best interest in mind?   

An Unknowing Push to Live Blindly

We must progress, and not create a need to consume. Which is the real issue; it drives our fabricated success, the value of manufactured resources that are un-sustainably being placed in our hands. Greed is ruling our lives, and life is wasted chasing unreal dreams that have to be bought and sold. Sadly, if the funds are there it’s enough to become paralyzed by the distractions. We’ve become so off path our visions have become twisted by financial freedom. Even our society's most worthy people, in positions of saving lives, are subject to this denial of individual impact. A doctor, a fire fighter, a police officer, governmental employees, teachers, judges, lawyers, moms and dads,...us, all of us are off setting efforts of helping in this world by spewing these toxins from our own cars, chemically grown foods we buy, store bought plastics, cleaning supplies, along with dumping all of our life’s trash into landfills, that will end up poisoning and giving sickness to hundreds if not thousands more, consequently damaging the eco-system that supports us, our health and our world. We have made it a point to live our lives this way. We are all part. Our education has lost its alarming importance and needs to be improved, yet we cut our teachers jobs and the curriculum that could improve this situation. Why? Our kids need to be loved and cared for, yet we ignore their need for a better way of life and upbringing. Why? Our population never seems to be under control or in line with our resources. Why? Our food is of the utmost value for us to survive, yet we continue to poison the dirt we grow it in. If the condition of the world we are now in, is a result from the way we continue to live, can we then agree something has to be done?

Our Vision

Listening to voices of experience, watching the demonstrations made for example, reading the words of people with great anticipation for our future outcome, the more convinced I am we are all part of these visions of warning and interpretation of what will come. My mind is forced to put down the fight of unacceptable human behavior and reason for how we live. There are undeniable teachers that express humanity and compassion for our existence. What should stop, what should start, what will we continue to do? I wonder where I fit in. Do the people around me know that they too are part? Do they know where they fit in? Is it true that many have followed the few and continue? I am led by the men and women of history that knew it took only one person to show or give all who would listen a message of hope, a new understanding of the world, this being Science or Religion, and this would change lives forever.War/Disease/Famine/Natural Disaster. The people that realized it was about knowledge and personal example led strong enough to root this feeling in men surrounded by times of great desperation, suffering, and starvation. There were also the others that led for greed and profit, against all who opposed and even the peaceful ones who didn’t, to ignore the complicating social challenges being faced, these ways too were rooted in men. Who are these people that have given us warning from experience and words of truth that give courage for accepting what must be done, against popular belief, common exception, and most likely not being able to succeed, even in the face of death… or the others that give us impression to risk it all at the expense of others, themselves, family, friends, relationships, and anything else that can benefit them in the moment, regardless of life or support given. We must become aware of whom we lead or follow, and the mass most definitely will, but in which way; a sheer terror of individual struggle to live, or a progressive unification for a common need of survival?
