Change
Posted: 16 Aug 2015 07:37
Hello new friends.
What are you doing to make change? We live in a cold, dark world. But there is hope. There is light. People have, over the course of history, been on a path. Right now this path has led to a world full of conflict, hate, and comfort in mediocrity.
People have little fire or passion anymore, and what little they do have is wasted in short bursts of irrelevant expression most times.
The purest form of human expression, art (poetry, music, literature, painting, etc) has been bastardized by mainstream culture, propaganda for ignorance, and money.
But despite this, humans are not evil by nature (not as a whole, not speaking on the rare individual born "miswired") and have the potential for great good. But it requires initiative, it requires leaders to step up and guide the repressed masses. There have been many great leaders, men who were able to manipulate and influence their people to blindly follow them. Unfortunately, so many of them have been leaders of a horrible cause, almost always military and for the promotion of mass murder.
Where are the leaders pushing love, unity and the single human race?
Of course there is the problem of method, as the way i see it, things have to get unethical, there has to be a certain level of "manipulation" for lack of a better word, of course it is a complex issue. But while i am not the most intelligent individual, i do believe many of you are from what i have gotten in my short time here.
I want to make change, and i intend to do so through my passions as an individual.
But i am curious in the ideas my new community has on this, and what you all do in your lives to make change, or at least how you might advise doing so, as this is a somewhat personal question i suppose.
Again, as a new member of the forum and perhaps not the most well versed individual, forgive any flaws in my post.
I hope to hear some response and hope to create discussion, ideas, and develop my mind through speaking with some enlightened individuals.
Thank you for your time.
