“The whole system that we live in drills into us that we’re powerless, that we’re weak, that our society is evil, that’s its fragmented.  It's all a big fat lie.  We are powerful, beautiful, extraordinary. There is no reason why cannot understand who we truly are, where we are going. There is no reason why the average individual cannot be fully empowered. We are incredibly powerful beings.”

“I think I spent 30 years of my life, the first 30, trying to become something. I wanted to become good at things, I wanted to become good at tennis, I wanted to become good at school and grades, and everything I viewed in that perspective. I’m not OK the way I am, but if I got good at things. I realised I had the game wrong: the goal was to find out who I already was.”

“I wasn’t born Richard Albert, I was just born a human being and then I learned this whole business of who I am, whether I’m good or bad, achieving or not, all that’s learned along the way.”

“In our culture we’ve been trained for individual differences to stand out. So you look at each person and immediately you think brighter, dumber, older, younger, richer, poorer, and we make all these dimensional distinctions, put them into categories and treat them that way. And we get so we only see others as separate from ourselves and the ways in which they’re separate. And one of the dramatic characteristics of experience is being with another person and suddenly seeing the ways they are like you, not different from you. And experiencing the fact that that which is essence in you, and is essence in you, is indeed one. The understanding that there is no other. It is all one.”

“The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you go on it you think it’s real, because that’s how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down, and round and round, it has thrills and chills and its very brightly coloured, and it’s very loud, and it’s fun, for a while. Some have been on the ride for a long time and they being to question: “Is this real, or is this just a ride?” And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say “Hey, don’t worry, don’t be afraid ever, because this is just a ride.” And we kill those people. “Shut him up, I’ve got a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account and my family. This has to be real.” Its just a ride. But we always kill those good guys that try to tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn’t matter because it’s just a ride, and we can change it anytime we want. Its only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings or money, just a choice, right now, between fear and love.”

People.
People. That's all that counts in this world.

Imagine now that every person you know is content and happy in all that they do (including yourself). Now, isn’t that a world worth fighting for? A world worth working towards?

A place where each of us is ourselves? Nothing more, nothing less.

Now, in terms of where we live today, how can this possibly be?


Each of will keep our respective heads down, focusing on what's immediately in front of us (which is ultimately focused on only ourselves), in order to better our immediate future.

But what of the future in general?

Humanity, as it stands, proceeds forward in the scale of time, focuses on how we can better what we will do now and later, without considering on how will affect those around us, as well as ourselves, in the future.

Each of us would be so much happier if each of us worked towards a future where all of us were happy.

This may sound like a load of hippy mumbo-jumbo, but you can understand what I’m getting at, right?

Irrelative of our own platforms of belief, we can all appreciate and strive for something like this.

The point of this is that there is something working towards.
And that thing is ultimately happiness for everyone.

Why do we squander our lives on such immaterial things, when, by working towards a communal happiness, we can all be content with what we have and what we can achieve?

Humanity, thanks to our years of civilised indoctrinization, has come to believe that we have to improve ourselves in order for us to achieve something.

However, one we all change to a mindset that believes differently (I.E: that we all we need to happy in order for each of us to be happy) then can we each being to achieve something that we can all be proud of.

My point here is that, as we stand today, each and every one of us needs to evaluate how we stand now so that we can achieve what we ultimately want in terms of the future.

Think now on what you want and think on what you can do to achieve that. What sucks in you life? How can you change that?



The answer is really simply, and you know it.

That's really all that I have to say.

Thanks for reading and I hope that this has change something in your world (irrelative if whether it did or did not)

The Beginning; Why.

I figured, given the potential future and theme of this blog, I’ll begin with Why.

Why:
People exist in one of two categories (at least in context of this idea);
People who "Do" for the world and people who "Do" for themselves.

Some people will walk through life and into their graves thinking that "Gee, this life is wonderful/terrible, let me make the most out of it so that I can enjoy/despise it to its fullest"
Then there are people who think "Gee, this life is wonderful/terrible, let me do what I can so that the world can change, for better/worse."
 Irrelative of whether they aim to affect themselves/world, and irrelative of whether they succeed or fail, people at least in their mindsets fall into these two realms.

Today, I realised that my biggest gripe with life is that I fall into the latter category and I fear that I will not affect anything; I wish to affect the world at large.
I saw that men (and women) such as Ernest Hemmingway, Adolf Hitler, Stephanie Meyer, Skrillex, The Beatles, Mother Teresa, Typhoid Mary, Yoda, Tupac, your sage and wise Grandad and even the hobo you ignored at the stop street all add to and affect perceptions/emotions/the world/ the universe/life.
These people will, to vastly varying degrees, morph the world into something new(ish). Everyone does, it's nothing special.

This is the butterfly effect, in its more humanitarian form.

-Side note: I actually despise the Butterfly Effect. While I’m obsessed with The thought behind it (butter fly flaps wings blah, blah hurricane. Action-Ripple-Reaction. Beautiful, simple, amazing.), my problem with it stems from the way people perceive it.
"Oh," says person, "butterflies can cause hurricanes, isn't the world amazing." Person walks away with metal images of butterflies in Australia fucking around with worldwide destruction /sarcasm.
Congrats, fuckwit, you've taken the littlest part of that idea and walked away with it. You've failed to fully comprehend the true vastness of the idea.
It's like people thinking stars are simple pretty, without realising the amazing implications of those balls of gas (floating an unimaginable distance away, throwing light across a universe so fucking vast that if you grasped it's true scale and power it would melt you fucking brain) and the affect that they've had on everything from cosmology, to science, to social imagery, to the fucking development of our culture due those pretty little baubles have had on everything.
The true beauty of the thought is lost on people who don’t bother to try grasp it. It’s like feeding caviar to a person who likes MacDonalds and thought that it was simply “fishy.”

But I digress, I’ll approach that thought in length some other time.

The point is that everyone can change the world; and I want to.
And in the largest way possible.

Since I lack the patience, skill and time (at this moment) to write a book or create some new school of philosophy or  gain the fame required to impress my bullshit beliefs on others simply by merit of my fame, I've decided to use the things I do have and will eventually aquire.

Studying journalism and having access to the internet has inspired me to use these tools, that I have had no real important use for before, to finally create ripples across all the spectrums of life that I can possibly ripple across.
Using this blog as a starting point, I hope to branch out and morph the world with my small fragments of written chaos.

Thanks for reading and I hope that this has change something in your world (irrelative if whether it did or did not)
