Opinion de Jour

See this thing? It’s us. All of us. All together on a ball that’s spinning at a thousand miles an hour and orbiting a sun.

When you look at it like this, it’s easy to see that we are all part of the same thing.

But the closer you get, the harder it is to see that.

As you move closer your start to see countries with borders and armies to protect those borders. You see mineral wealth scattered all over the place but almost all of it is under the control of people who want nothing more than to hold onto as much of the wealth that it creates. As you move closer still you see governments, almost all of which are totally indentured politicians who keep passing laws that allow the controllers to pay almost no taxes.

If you move closer you will see how the controllers flaunt their wealth and hold it up as an example of success in this world, when it really is nothing more than ego and greed.

And if you move around the world you start to see that this is not just the case in the so-called developed countries, but it’s everywhere.

And it’s this greed and this ego that prevents the controllers from looking at the bigger picture of where the whole earth is going.  Left unaltered this situation will eventually destroy almost every living thing on this planet. And we will have to start all over again. Just like we did in the beginning, slithering out of the primordial ooze onto the land. I’d like to say I can see a light at the end of this tunnel, but that will only happen when the world really does become one thing, and the controllers realize that life is more important than wealth and power.
