politics- what is politics. its manipulationg truths to form sides which break apart people on certain issues to gain their support so that you can become elected. this type of maneuvering is what holds us back. labeling democrat, liberal, republican, minority, majority blah blah. how about HUMAN BEING! how about living, breathing, loving member of earth!
we are held back, divided and segregated to support the stance of others, believing what they say, agreeing or disagreeing with what they feel and then voting for them or not. how about empowering ourselves! how about a little anarchy!
that is a huge problem right now- all the mindless idiot republicans who still sport those george bush stickers on their bumpers. all those who vote consistently, without being informed, for one side or the other because that is the party that they typically allign themselves with. since when was america supposed to be a two party system! voting for the lesser of two evils!
the biggest problem that we must overcome as a society, is this gap that is created by taking these sides. the environmental issue is beyond urgent, peace is beyond urgent, respect and equality all very necessary to make any progress...and we cant wait for the issue to magically come to the table for anything to happen. we have to take the power, right now and do whatever is in our means to live our dreams, and make our reality better.
when you sit back and think about it, and see this huge living planet, all the interactions between organisms, the flow of energy through the universe, the beauty of a sun set or rise....we become small. we have seperated ourselves from this beautiful phenomena of life that occurs on this rich, abundant oasis in space. even wars seem small and insignificant when you view things from above. its all a game, a sham...politics has absolutely nothing to do with anything.
the truth is this:
we are all born free and independent with no individual having any less rights than the next. we are all wanting happiness and not to suffer. and the only meaningful thing we can do is to love, and to harmonize with our fellow beings and universe.
get over politics, get over choosing sides and fighting wars. find truth and purpose in living your life and develop your dreams so that you can see them come in to being.
