People who spend their time hating and blaming politicians, CEOs or corporations for the problems in the world today are, themselves, utterly instrumental in perpetuating those problems. There are a load of reasons why I think so:
1. Perhaps most significantly, such
behaviour is a fundamental abdication of responsibility for dealing with what
are, in fact, shared problems.
2. The people who they cast
aspersions on with such vitriol are themselves slaves to, and blinded by the
system. They are equally trapped in a mystical world of numbers, from which
they see no logical escape in trying to tackle problems. The fact that rich
folk are more privileged is irrelevant in the search for solutions.
3. The people who are casting the
aspersions are doing nothing except perpetuating the myth that some people have
a higher power over them. Blaming emphasizes the very social divide that they
are hating, when, in fact, nothing at all physically exists between either
being. They are simply disempowering themselves, and further empowering those
they hate.
4. Division weakens. The more
divides we create among ourselves, the more complex and impossible our problems
seem. We are all people, absolutely equal. Don't believe anyone who tells you
anything different.
Unfair governance, unfair decisions
and unfair judgements are all products of an unfair system, not bad people.
Think about it, do you seriously think that politicians are going to run for
office just so that they can muck people about? Of course not. Politicians go
into office to try and make a positive difference, but the system simply
doesn't allow it.
You will probably never appreciate
this logic until you begin to start thinking of our system as optional, not
compulsory. All of this bullshit we do every day. What if we all just stopped
doing that? Forever? Are we all just going to rapidly descend back into wild
animals? Or are we going to see our society still as something we can improve?
Imagine what we could do if money was, literally, no object?
It's only when you start
experimenting with these thoughts like these does our current system suddenly
start looking like a dodgy second-hand car. Are we going to keep fixing it or
shouting at it like Basil Fawlty?
Come on, we can do better. Let's do better. [CT]
