WTF happened to hope?

What the FUCK happened to hope, idealism and belief in making a meaningful difference for humanity?

It got flushed down the toilet by the greedy, profit-driven industrial machine and its owners, who bought the politicians, bought the schools, the lawyers, the banks, the shares, in fact, the whole lot. Then turned us into compliant cogs in their machine. They have been controlling us with their ‘religions’ and myths of money, capitalism, democracy, certainty, and offering us trinkets in order to consume shit we don’t need.

They have created hate, cynicism, judgement, war, poverty, criticism, and division so that we fight each other and ignore what they do.

Well, it is enough, we want to live with hope, ideals, love, kindness, compassion, empathy and we want to see a world free of greed, judgement, hate, anger, cheating, manipulating, shitting on people and killing them too.

It’s enough.

Hope lives on, for example, Corbyn, he’s the start of a new hope, he is something different in a field of dull black and white, bland, safe, politicians, all offering the same dreary compliant life of debt and slavery for most, JC is offering a new hope, and once you have a why, once you are prepared to be different, sticking to your values, and once you can inspire people, they become your evangelists, they become the people who spread the word for you.

Look at the surge in turnout in the UK election.

We need to all rise up and be counted and back hope, back people who are prepared to stick to their values and be prepared to stand out from the crowd. We need them more than ever to help us overcome the industrialised machine that has turned us all into debt-laden compliant slaves of their myths and system.

Rise up, become a leader you want to see or become an evangelist for someone who inspires something different. We have a responsibility to ourselves and the human race to act.

Hope is there if we choose it.

Break the rules

I don’t mean driving full speed through red lights.

I mean that we live by self-imposed rules that we put on ourselves or live by the rules that others impose on us.

We have rules imposed on us for some many things from gender rules, to what clothes we wear, to how we have to speak, to what we eat, how many of certain things we can consume and so on. We have so many rules that we are not consciously aware of most of them. Yet we live by them every single day.

Most of these rules are unwritten, passed on from generation to generation.

And many rules are only the ones that we choose to impose on ourselves in our own heads.

We blame society and others for the rules, yet we comply with them.

Each one of us is society, each person counts.

We need to be the leader we want to see, we need to be the change we want to see.

No good waiting for ‘them’.

Real fundamental change to the unwritten rules only comes when we are prepared to break them.

The human race evolved from rule breakers, not from the people who complied.

Challenge first the ones in our heads.

That will free us to be ready to break the rules of others.
