Apathy

Too many times I reached, and reached, and reached for the sky above, only to realize the things I always wanted, the things I always thought of never were.

Looking into the starless dark its no wonder I didn’t see past the reflection of dead destinations. I always thought the anticipation would justify the manipulation. But false promises ended those aspirations

Traveling here and there I saw the head of the beast, endless tired faces and weary voices fallen to theirs knee’s sadly kissing its feet, worshipping feverishly, but not me.

You see for me, I witness the forgotten struggle and unknown sacrifice, I value the dry tears and the numb pain. My eyes bleed in hope for you my brother, my sister, my mother, my father, my fellow, my unidentified comrade, betrayed by generations of apathy, distracted by the methods of this society into thinking this is the only reality. Please!

We are living men, Lions led by sheep. But I’ve met a few, which gives me hope for them and for you. That the lions are waking up, more and more you’ll hear this tone until the current ways are overthrown. Capitalism, consumerism, militarism, and materialism...all ways to keep control over their system.

When an entire content nation can forget that children are dying with no hope of salvation in countries we only hear of rarely on these profit driven news stations, there is no need for a judge, the lack of consciousness means the lack of guiltiness, and that’s the message we must stress.

With no hesitation I’ll hold the limp body of a child who died of starvation, hold you down and make you feel his cold skin till you see it’s not an image on your screen. That this soul died not because there is a lack of food in the world, just that there is a lack of valued paper, money, in his country.

I know the roots of what I say create an emotion that’s making you say hey, I feel what that way, but what can I do, its not me who has control, its not my destination to lead the masses to revelation.

Well all I ask is that you be aware, and when you hear someone like me don’t be scared, because all I want to do is love love love, but I’m in a world of hate hate hate. So if me, or another that’s sincere asks for your ears gives blessings and demand that our intentions maintain your requisitions and the righteous objective...

We are all apathetic, too often feeling helpless and forget with no regret. So arise from the mental state of comatose, and be a voice for the eleven million children that will die this year worldwide before the age of five. Raise your fist for the fathers, the mothers, the brothers, the sisters, that held that child in their arms telling them baby this world is oh so cold, but honey don’t threat, God has saved your soul. And don’t forget you won’t ever be forgotten by me, no more pain my love, close your eyes, we’ll be together inevitably.

So raise your fists if you felt this, and if you do then we are looking for you, so look for us. The Day Night Project.

That beautiful tune...

It looks like the odds are against me, the beautiful tune keeps my consciousness reactive. But the addiction to the sickest drug keeps my blood stagnant. It didn’t matter how long it’s been, one dose and I was hooked again. I forget yesterday and the emptiness never filled but I never noticed anyway.

So when I hit it the heart stops. But sometimes I hear the thoughts of my pages and my mind’s caught, My eyes won’t open so I struggle because its what I sought.
I act crazy because my minds blown. I pick up the dry petals with each one reminding me of memories erased but never reported gone.

Is it normal cause the way I’m thinking is abstract, Should I blink twice or wince to see the facts? Focus my eyes and hence, catch on to realize if this is the past or present tense? I pick up my pen and try of think of the last spot known, but for so long the drug had hold that the inks dry for being so cold.

Things are getting hectic, I’m writing and writing but the words aren’t connecting. The pages are turning frantic but it’s all intercepted, the beautiful tune is back.
And as I fall into the beat it’s really this that makes me weak, it’s that beautiful tune that lets me sleep. Stirred up I look back and see, the wrong path treaded by none other than me. I see a reflection of a reflection of a reflection of a reflection. I can’t believe what I hear and what’s my perception.

The beautiful tune is gone and I’m left again. The pen at my feet again, the drug in my palm again, my blood seeking one more sin again. I didn’t see the life or death when I walked through the valley of emptiness. I hope for that tune to return so I can feel conscious. I’m the lyrics to your beat, the connection is because we blend perfectly.

I look back at the path and you should be there. In the mornings, in the evenings, you should be there. While you sleep I'll watch over you and bless you with my tears. Waking up in the morning unable to give you your dream is my fear.

This one goes out to the struggling spirits out there. The ones who get struck by what they see. I’ll sit with you and watch the clouds drift by, watch the stream flow, watch the sun set and the moon rise. I’ll consider your questions, I’ll listen to your thoughts. I’ll walk with you where you fear to go, I’ll stand with you against what you fear to face, just let me know. Lets just do it, no more hesitation or procrastination. The wind is letting us know by the strength of its blows that it won’t wait for our conviction. It passes and is gone. I’m ready now to see what you’re made of, I’m ready to see what I’m made of. Will we pass the test or will we fall with the rest? Tell me, tell me what’s your meaning when you say love? Do you understand it, is it pure? Can you define it? Do you know what it means? Please tell me I need to know, I’m dying without you. We are surrounded by false realities, wrong predictions, immoral ethics. When can we start? I’ll lift you up first, just don’t forget to pull me up second. Any other way won’t work, do you believe me? We have to do the Works. I’ve seen the Works, and it works. I just need you there, one can’t do the work as one. Stop, do you hear my words? Stop, do you feel my heart? Stop, stop, stop. Wait…do you hear my words and do you feel my heart? Will you trust me? I won’t lie, it’s a heavy load we must carry. Undivided it will be done. Just know they will criticize, scrutinize, and deny us. All attempts to divide us. I won’t leave you, there is none good among them, but we can inspire them because we will stand undivided. I know its true because as I write to you He told me so, He turned the volume low and made my heart flow. I won’t ever trade that for this world of greed, it would take a weak heart to give in. I know yours is strong, I know yours will stand even alone until He rescues you. The setting suns and rising moons are numbered, believe when I say the peaceful hearts must stand. So make up your mind, no more confused attitude. Do you want to want or do you want to give? If you want to give then you’ll never want. I feel so much guiltiness for being handed material things and feeling bliss. They made all my desires into something I could hold, something I could touch. They tricked me, they tricked you…now the fire is burning. Up in smoke it goes, the revolution took place and they lost control. Its time to pass out torches, who wants one?

Compañeros y Compañeras

Listen up my friends. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be part of the events you see on the news, the stories you hear on the streets, the lives you read in the paper or on the internet? What if for a moment you could put yourself into that “other persons” shoes. What if you had been in Sri Lanka during the Tsunami, what if it was your father trapped in the Utah mine collapse or the Chinese mine collapse, what if it was your daughter that died in the latest bombing in Iraq, what if it was your family starving to death in Darfur? Think about all the people you hear that suffer, that die. All the family and friends that are left behind. The empty space that once was once filled by the love of someone’s life. What if for a moment you could see what they saw, feel what they felt, think what they thought. Would you be changed? What do you imagine would happen in your heart? Would you regret it? Would you be thankful? Would you look at it like a punishment or a blessing? Would you do something different?



This my friends is a plea to you all. A plea for your open ears and open hearts. We are living in a time of war. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. There is physical violence being waged on innocent people all over the world. There are mental raids taking place on your psychology. There is a drowning of your spiritual awareness each and every day. If you can’t picture what I’m saying it’s because they have stolen your imagination. The imagination you once had as a child has been replaced by visual and verbal facts of your reality. A reality you never would have imagined or wanted. We all understand that time is precious, but what in the past few years has any of us accomplished that will outweigh the horror we have ignored? Did I even think when I paid the $25 cover to enter the club that I could have supplied the basic health needs of more than 100 children for 3 months? While we party and enjoy our lives we die. Spiritually, mentally, and physically. How long will you keep ignoring the lies YOU KNOW exist.



We are falsely blessed my friends. Time is of the essence and they are hiding it from us. They haven’t told you how likely it is that by 2030 global warming will be irreversible. That haven’t told you how water may be the oil of the future and that lower end of the estimates put 2/3 of the worlds population in water distress by 2025. They haven’t explained that we are in debt for the rest of our lives to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF), both private organizations making profit for undisclosed individuals for personal gains. They have yet to admit that we are failing our earth, our God, our ancestors, our children, and ourselves. Are you wondering who are “they”? Just know that they exist and that answer will surface. Ignore that they exist and it will be ignored that you exist.

Animal Farm

One day, I was flipping through the channels, then I came across some news, I started listening about how the Iraq war is going, how far along we have come since we started the war in 2003, it was a brief segment so it left me with a lot doubt and thus it inspired me to question the true motives of this war and true price we citizens must eventually pay. It has been almost four years and there’s still a lot of battles going on and no resolution in sight even after President Bush had declared “mission accomplished” a few years back. They’re not really reporting what’s going on, there is a lot of distortion, and a lot of manipulation of the events and facts.

I’m thinking of all this because I’m concerned about the way we got into the war, why we got into the war, why is it taking so long, like it’s just their not telling the truth about anything anymore. How Washington tries to disguise everything. The media always seems to find facts and twists them. For every action they do, it seems to set things back up. All these things happening, all the war efforts, and borrowing all this money. All to be paid back by the citizens, and the people don’t realize they are going to pay all this money. Not just them, the generations and past through that. Further and further we go into debt as we try to plant democracy in a country that can’t be governed by the same elements by which we’re governed. The reason we can’t govern them is because we are invading them. And they see us as a threat to their sovereignty and way of life.

It seems it’s all a big experimental game. Where our media outlets say, that our troops are there to protect our freedom, to say we have “freed” the people of Iraq, it was for the cause of Liberty. And that we were there to bring down a tyrant, a fascist, a man who would have been no threat except for the fact that we armed him and his military years ago. Its all for the interest of these business, the big businesses and conglomerates, and its obvious you know. It’s obvious who they are because they are the ones winning all the bids to rebuild a country. Can you imagine the cost of rebuilding an entire country? You should, because so far we have spent we have spent over $500 billion dollars on this war. We were tapped for $84 billion here, $200 billion there $45 billion there. In increments that eventually dulled our mentality to it. And now the cost is going to be a burden on us and our children. Why aren’t we explained what this enormous debt means? At what rate is it being borrowed? How will this affect the way we live? When we as individuals are in debt, life is very hard. If we as a country are in debt, how come it doesn’t seem hard…yet.

The individuals that are in political roles are making decisions on behalf of the citizens to take out enormous loans. Who is it that’s loaning the money and at what interest rates and terms? The money borrowed is being used to pay companies to create military technology, take part in the reconstruction of Iraq, and establish a government with whom we can have approachable relations for interest groups benefits. Therefore, while they are making money off a venture that has no end or no resolution in the near future, we citizens are the ones paying the bill, literally. I don’t know why people seem to distance themselves from that. This endless war and stream of constant news has apathetically pushed the reality to the back of our minds. But it must be faced eventually.

The majority of citizens are going deeply into debt while a fractional minority is increasing their wealth exceptionally. The owners of these corporations are the same people that are in political roles presently and through financial affiliations. This is all verifiable but never emphasized enough to signal a red flag. One of the obvious ones is Dick Cheney, the number two in command of our country. He uses to be the CEO of Halliburton, chief executive officer, that’s basically the number one or two of that company. And who is the largest contractor in Iraq?? HALLIBURTON. There is a danger to having a government that has the interests of a corporation in mind. It leaves the interest of the people vulnerable. Because there should be no interest, other than that of the people, in the political agenda of those that are suppose to be representing us. How is this dangerous? Let’s put it this way, would a father feed a child that’s not his and let his own be hungry?

Let me put this into perspective. Let’s say I own a construction company and I want more business. So I destroy a neighborhood so that I can rebuild it. Then I have a bank loan YOU money to pay ME to do the job. I will make an enormous amount of money and so will the bank off the interest, all from your income. This is all possible because we have elected these individuals into fiduciary roles that allow them these authorities. However, the reality is they have violated their fiduciary responsibilities and the law. Corporations are using their roles within governments to increase their wealth. This couldn’t be more obvious when you consider the actual verifiable corporate interests our elected officials have. Especially when you consider we have spent $500 billion dollars on a war and that it would only take $13 billion dollars to feed the poorest half of humanity and provide livable conditions for them for an entire year. Isn’t that the better way to fight “terrorism”, with kindness? The truth is that it’s not about terrorism, it’s about profit. The word “terrorism” happens to be the conduit into that profit. If $13 billion per year sounds like a lot just think that the USA and Europe spend more than that on perfume each year. And if you break down what we have spent so far on the war it’s over $125 billion per year. $13 billion dollars is truly not that much money when we could save over thirty million lives per year; eleven million of which are children’s lives. That doesn’t even include alleviating the daily suffering of two billion people from illness, disease, & mental torment resulting from malnutrition.


The next searing question is why doesn’t the media expose these relationships and realities on the level that they should. With very very few exceptions, the media corporations are also profit driven. KBPS, NPR, and maybe a few others still report decent and actual information on the events surrounding us. CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and any of the larger corporate media outlets all are responsible for shareholders interests. The shareholders interest depends on ratings. So whether it’s their entertainment lineup like the comedy shows to drama shows, or the commercials, or the news show, they need to capture our attention. Conflict, drama, fear, all create an atmosphere of anxiety. The time before the war, what was the atmosphere like? Not how it is now, we have this war looming over our shoulders, we fight with family and friends and stranger citizens over perspectives, we fight within ourselves over thoughts, beliefs, morality. During war we are attached to the news, we are attached to the TV shows that distract us and conform us deeper into an insecure state of mind seeking a secure state of mind. Their ratings are skyrocketing, these companies are growing and monopolizing. For example; Time Warner, Disney, Viacom, and News Corp. Rupert Murdoch is the owner of News Corp. He is the majority shareholder, chairman, and managing director of this media conglomerate, one of the largest in the world and based right out of New York. The number of other companies that News Corp owns is staggering. It’s at a figure that taps nearly every American citizen with their influence. If you were to read the list located at the web address below you would be shocked as to how many of his companies you are familiar with. Just to name a few…FOX, Discovery Channel, DirecTV, Myspace, New York Post. He’s now looking to purchase the DOW Jones which also owns The Wall Street Journal. He literally owns hundreds of newspapers and TV channels in the United States as well as abroad.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_corp

It became possible with the increase in international media (rather than national) and commerce that these companies have been able to more than triple in size just within the last 10 years. Everyone has felt greed, these companies are at a level of greediness which is unstoppable. Unstoppable like the child that won’t cease his wayward actions, at least not until he is shocked with the realization that comes with a spanking. For greed they don’t show us the truth. As they grow, their influence grows, and so grows their power. This source of power attracts other sources of power including the government and its leaders. So the collaboration begins between these powers to maintain their status and control.

The relationship can be established easily with the evidence available since the day the war started. There are clear reasons. And these states of affairs can be within any open minded individuals mental court and a better ability of discernment will be able to judge the difference between the sheep and the wolf in sheep’s clothing. We need to realize the atrocities going on outside our borders, as well as within. The Bush administration and Murdoch worked closely together to influence our country into war and heavily assisted Bush in getting re-elected by reporting biased polls, reports, and news. Murdoch was caught admitting in Switzerland that they “tried” to sway American’s into the war.

Imagine an alliance between the banks, the most powerful political figure in the world, The United States President, and the most powerful Media corporation in the world, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. We are like animals on a farm, trusting the shepherds to feed, shelter, and protect us while we work and provide them the resources necessary to accomplish that task. Instead they are misleading us, growing fat and making their homes huge while the barn and our lives deteriorate. How many must die until we realize they don’t care about us?



Read the book by George Wells, Animal Farm.

Plot summary (Pulled from Wikepedia)
Old Major, the old boar on the Manor Farm (or "Willingdon Beauty" as he is called when he is exhibited) calls the other animals on the Farm for a meeting, where he compares the humans to parasites, and then proceeds to teach the animals a revolutionary song: "Beasts of England."

When Major dies three days later, two young boars - Snowball and Napoleon - assume command, and turn his dream into a full-fledged philosophy. The animals revolt and drive Mr. Jones from the farm, renaming it "Animal Farm."

The Seven Commandments of Animalism are written on the wall of a barn for all to read. The most important is "all animals are equal." All animals work, but the workhorse, Boxer, does more than others and adopts the maxim — "I will work harder."

Snowball teaches the other animals to read and write (though few besides the pigs learn to read well), food is plentiful, and the entire farm is organized and runs smoothly. Meanwhile, Napoleon takes the pups from the farm dogs and trains them privately. When Mr. Jones tries to retake the farm, the animals defeat him at what they call the "Battle of the Cowshed." Napoleon and Snowball begin a power struggle for leadership. When Snowball announces his idea for a windmill, Napoleon quickly opposes it. Snowball makes a passionate speech in favour of the windmill, then Napoleon summons his nine attack dogs, which chase Snowball away. In Snowball's absence, Napoleon declares himself leader and makes changes. Meetings will no longer be held because a committee of pigs alone will decide what happens with the farm.

Napoleon, using Squealer as a mouthpiece, announces that Snowball stole the idea for the windmill from him. The animals work harder with the promise of easier lives with the windmill. After a violent storm, the animals find the fruit of their labor annihilated. Though neighboring farmers scoff at the thin walls, Napoleon and Squealer convince everyone that Snowball destroyed the windmill. Once Snowball becomes the scapegoat of the story, Napoleon begins to purge the farm, killing many animals he accuses of consorting with Snowball. Meanwhile, Boxer takes a second mantra, "Napoleon is always right."

Napoleon abuses his powers, and life becomes harder and harder for the animals; the pigs impose more and more controls on them while reserving privileges for themselves. The pigs rewrite history to villainize Snowball and glorify Napoleon(i.e stating that Snowball fought for the humans in the Battle of the Cowshed, and that Napoleon bit Snowball, when Snowball was actually hit by a pellet from Jones' gun.) Squealer justifies everything, even the occasions when the pigs alter the Seven Commandments— for example, "No animal shall drink alcohol" becomes "No animal shall drink alcohol to excess." The song "Beasts of England" is banned as inappropriate (as the dream of Animal Farm has been realized), and is replaced by an anthem glorifying Napoleon, who begins to live more and more like a human. The animals, though cold, starving, and overworked, remain convinced that they are still better off than when they were ruled by Mr. Jones, the previous (human) owner of Manor Farm. Squealer abuses the animals' poor memories and invents numbers to show their improvement.

Mr. Frederick, one of the two neighboring farmers, swindles Napoleon by buying lumber with forged money, and then attacks the farm, using blasting powder to blow up the recently restored windmill. Though the animals of Animal Farm eventually win the battle, they do so at a great cost, as many of the animals, including Boxer, are wounded. (Squealer, however, was mysteriously absent from the fight). However, Boxer continues to work harder and harder, until he finally collapses while working on the windmill. Napoleon sends for a van to take Boxer to the veterinarian, explaining to the worried animals that better care can be given there. However, Benjamin notices as Boxer is loaded up that the van really belongs to "Alfred Simmonds, Horse Slaughterer and Glue Boiler", but the animals' last desperate attempts are futile. Squealer quickly reports that the van had been purchased by the hospital and that the writing from the previous owner had simply not been repainted yet. He then recounts a dramatic and tear-felt tale of Boxer's death in the hands of the best medical care. In reality, the pigs sent Boxer to his death in exchange for money to buy more whiskey.

Many years pass, and the pigs learn to walk upright, carry whips, and wear clothes. The Seven Commandments are reduced to a single phrase: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." Napoleon holds a dinner party for the pigs and the humans of the area (in the adjacent Foxwood Farm, run by Mr. Pilkington), who congratulate Napoleon on having the hardest-working animals in the country on the least feed. Napoleon announces his alliance with the humans, against the labouring classes of both "worlds". He then abolishes practices and traditions related to the Revolution, and renames the farm "the Manor Farm".

The animals, overhearing the conversation, notice that the faces of the ruling pigs have begun changing. During a poker match, an argument breaks out between Napoleon and Mr. Pilkington when they both play the Ace of Spades, and the animals realize that the faces of the pigs now look almost exactly like the faces of humans and they can no longer easily tell the difference between them.

Weakness in the mind...

Weakness in the mind…

Most everyone will agree that the human mind is one of the most complex organs in our bodies and of any living creature on this planet. The complexity of this organ means that to utilize it to its fullest capacity one is to practice and learn it. The problem lies in the difficulty to gage the threshold of its potential. So at whatever level the urge to increase its development requires self realization, determination, and pressure. What insistence is there when daily you are able to awake then sleep in a rhythmic manner?
Growing up in one of the richest countries in the world we most often aren’t faced with the adversities and situations laid upon the majority of the human population. Food, medicine, shelter, sanitation, & education are features allotted to us in greater proportion when compared to the rest of the world. The United States is guilty of being 5% of the world’s population while consuming 25% of the world’s resources. Since birth, we Americans are immediately imparted with less of an understanding of what true struggle actually means. Without our minds experiencing the different emotions and sensations that come with extreme hardship and radical misfortune we cannot understand the full spectrum of challenges the world faces outside of our personal environment. This is especially true if you are not seeking or not being taught the reality of being born on the other side of our borders.
There is a clear display of this ignorance when you consider that the social structure depends on the economic structure in the USA. In order to live a joyous comfortable life as defined by Americans you must have money. Money talks, money walks, money buys happiness. The issue with this is the false understanding of what happiness truly means. Which is why the saying money can’t buy happiness in its raw sense is simply true. Yet we don’t consider most issues from a basic moral perspective. At its root money is simply paper. We place an enormous value upon this material object without considering the consequences of establishing this mentality as faultless modus operandi (a method of operating or functioning).


We should question why we are constantly told to purchase the newest model car every year and the cell phone with the most features. We should ask why we feel guilty for not being able to give our loved ones a present every Christmas, fathers day, mothers day, thanksgiving, birthday, valentines, or anniversary. Where does the guilt come from and why? We should wonder why on the television, radio, internet, streets, buildings, and even the sky and water we are attacked with advertisements to spend and spend the paper we hold so valuable. We should wonder why especially when 11 million children die of illnesses resulting from malnutrition every single year soley because they lack the "paper", and every subsequent year the situation and numbers worsen.
The unfortunate path of our narrow minded or unaware society has caused death, oppression, and suffering comparable to the atrocities seen in the holocaust. Yet we don’t even realize it. A nation of blind hypocrites is what we are. A nation of false beliefs and ideas, a nation of selfish fake morality. Our foundation is laid upon greed and built up by lies so thick they appear like truths. Our minds are our greatest strength and yet they are our greatest weakness. And the ones that suffer most because of our ignorance are the ones we should love the most, children. The wisest man is not the one with all the answers, it’s the man with all the questions. If we question our lifestyles today we can alleviate the pain an innocent child is enduring by tomorrow.

To Believe

To Believe
You have never believed right until you wish for others what you wish for yourself. What does that mean? Simply to love. In life situations present themselves before you, these situations are paths offered to you by God. He splits the road ahead of you, giving an opportunity to turn from your straying ways. So often these opportunities are missed completely without even a hint of notice by the trotter. And why is that? There is a lack of awareness in the common individual to recognize his own ability to direct himself. With my eyes closed I’ve strapped myself to the track leading me in circles until eventual death.

Not until I witnessed my close friend sacrifice all his material possessions and donate his physical body to God did I understand this capability in an individual. I pondered how my friend could break the chains that held him dependent on the system I could not imagine "escaping". I began to study the knowledge that empowered him to lay at his feet the ruler of men. Greed, selfishness, lust, vanity, idolatry, and pride all lead to hate. I was trained to consider these characteristics as normal, acceptable and often encouraged. Then I learned to easily realize how they lead to hate, because I realized there was something to learn.

I learned to see how greed leads men to hate those that had and that didn't have. It trained men to envy the rich and resent himself, the poorer. This selfishness compounded the desire for pride. The hate to lift himself above those on his own level because of his desire to be like the "high ups" that in turn hated him for his lowliness. We can see it at all levels of society throughout the world. I can see the young gangster hustler buying up the fancy jewelry, rims for his car, and any other material item that gives the illusion of prominence. In the end where does this money go? To the ruling designers of the economic system that do nothing to realistically benefit these individuals.

Imagine this scenario, the farmer grows his corn and sells his crops to the distributor. Then with the money he made from the sale he purchases more seeds to grow more corn. And who does he purchase the seeds from? The same distributor, not even disguised as a non-affiliated entity. So what is wrong with this? The farmer is being raped; he is being raped and kept at leash end. This is an actual depiction of what takes place throughout the agricultural industry all over the world. Corporations trademark certain strains of crop that they genetically engineer to not produce seeds which would allow for replanting. This forces the farmer to purchase seeds in order to grow that strain of crop. He is obligated to grow only that strain of crop because the purchaser of the crops regulates that only that strain is allowed. This is achieved by implementing food and trade policies that control the crop, allowing it to be considered property. These corporations patent the seeds and threaten the farmers with lawsuits if they set aside seeds for the next year or even if they shared seeds with other farmers. The corporations are able to dictate the prices they pay and the costs for the farmers to do business because they control all aspects of the business. This converts the farmers into slaves. They are no longer business owners, merely servants of the employers. Historically the races of humans have known the practice of farming. We have worked with each other sharing seeds, learned techniques, material, & experience out of selflessness. The breakdown of a community style trade has been instigated by selfishness and greed.

This economic structure is a reflection of the social structure. With these successful ventures increasing the wealth of few rather than many we see the true desires of these individuals. Unfortunately the “democracy” of America eagerly associates wealth with leadership. The more money a corporation or individual has the more power they wield. Our society is an imitation of the ideas and desires of the ruling class. When we watch our televisions (which has become a tool used successfully for evil purposes) we see fairytale worlds. We as individuals concern ourselves more with the breakup of Nick and Jessica than the deaths of millions of children every year around the world. We vibe to the music of Ludacris and admire his material possessions and lifestyle. We envy all that these social role models portray, which includes their lack of respect and lust for women. I see him riding his pimped out Mercedes with three fine bitches while smoking a blunt and laughing at the sorry brother on the street that never “cops” nothing. His name is exactly what he is, ludicrous. The majority of youth grow up watching these images with admiration, the majority of youth only witness these images on the television. They see none of that as reality. Their reality is watching their parents struggle to survive. They grow to hate the idea of struggle and see the lifestyles of these “role models”, their methods to fame, and they imitate. They learn that it’s a dog eat dog world. They want to satisfy their dictated desires of physical satisfaction. The tactics in a dog eat dog world include lying. Everyone has been trained to lie. Everyone lies. It can be one of the hardest things in the world to accomplish, a mentality to NOT lie. Lying leads to secrecy and secrets are kept within yourself or individuals. This then leads to selfishness, and when you admire yourself you create an ego and pride.

The thought, wishing for others what you wish for yourself, lingers on in the back of our minds. We were all born without the mentality of hate and selfishness. These dispositions have been trained into your minds. And fortunately there is the mentality gifted to humans that never kills our conscious, at most we suck the blood from it leaving it numb. One critical milestone that needs to be achieved is realization that true happiness is living as equals with love. True happiness comes from others and not yourself. When you are surrounded by people that love and bless you with all their hearts, then you shall understand. Building a community based on love and selflessness is a solid stake for the foundation of a world based on love and selflessness. Figuring out the method to best achieve this foundation is what we need help on. The first step is learning to wish for others what you wish for yourself. This is the ideology we all must conceive and make reality.

This can be especially difficult for the believer of this ideology. Understanding the true meaning of loving others means to dissect your own soul and mentality. It’s much simpler to judge others than yourself. This is why it is so critical to endure the faults of fellow people that hear and try. You yourself have faults that you won’t be able to identify without an outside voice that can recognize them. Another person in my life helped point out my selfish nature hiding behind the front of selflessness. I am forever thankful that these individuals were there to point out the correct path in the fork in the road for me. No one is able to unbind the cuffs around their hands without help. Once we are able to be 100% honest with ourselves and others we realize that we need the help and love of others. And though we’ve been shown there are paths to choose, we still need the experience of others to know which is the way leading to peace and love. We must unite and be dedicated to the right revolution.
