PEACE?
This is a piece I did as an audio and visual from what is written on my wife’s channel, Rhonda9. I though it was fitting to represent what she wrote to visual representation of the crux of what our world has become, but NOT to discount what our world CAN become if we ALL move twoards what really matters, love and understanding of all our species as a whole, I care deeply about all of us, and I know we can only attain our ultimate goal through knowledge and understanding, LOVE is the key, not force of will or arms, my wife wrote such a beautiful synops of the whole of the matter, that I had to make this video, I couldn’t have said or wrote it any better.
There is always so much talk about peace. People desire peace in their lives. Peace in their personal lives and peace in the world around them. But what constitutes true peace?
Is peace a personal quest or a group effort? What do we witness in our world, in regards to peace? I see war, tragedy, suffering, and loss on the news. Where is this peace?
Life has always been out of control, even from the very beginning. The people who constitute our social systems are subject to a handful of demigods who run the show. We are enslaved by the powerful and opulent. Their goal is more power.
Where are we at this stage of the game? People have much more power than they realize. We can change the world through knowledge. Knowledge is power.
I think we need to evolve. We need to think harder. We need to come together. We need to exchange ideas and seek truth. We need to have the courage to accept that there may have been some old, worn out traditions and systems that don’t work anymore.
Powers try and convince us that we have the best world. Do we?
Too many people are starving. Too many people are helpless, hurting and in need. Too many people are spending their lives in a vacuum. Too many people are in a circle of survival, hardly getting by.
Looking back at history, we see the atrocities that have been committed against good people, with perverted, twisted intentions of the greater good.
Even today we see that people wonder why our governments lead us into war for no good reason. Our young people die and our resources dwindle, with no real answers but the same regurgitated, sickening rhetoric day after day on the news. It’s time for enlightenment and a sense of excitement about the future.
Here is what I fear:
I fear people telling me that they have the truth. I want to investigate it.
I fear people telling me they have all the answers. No one has all the answers.
I fear people telling me that they have the best way. There is always room for improvement.
We need fairness, equality, liberty and truth. We can talk about peace in the world all we want, but until we have fairness, equality, liberty and truth, there will never be peace.
Beware of those who want to restrict your world. Think.
