The world as we knew it growing up has changed. But then, it does for everyone as they grow up. For us though, it's been a little bit harder. The jobs are gone, the pay has dwindled. The few good jobs that are left, you need a college degree that can cost more than a home in the 1960's and 70's. It's going to require changes. Changes in the economic structure of the country, a change in the banking laws. A home big enough to house a family should not cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. What is expected of us, to just survive is cruel. Working so much that you have no time to spend with your children, no time to spend with your spouse. It's not what should have EVER happened. The banking system is an agent of evil within this world. They've found their way into the education system. A college education today, costs more than a house and two new cars did in the 1970's. A lot of the degrees you get from colleges are not even worth the paper that they have been printed on. Debt is modern day slavery, all races are affected by it, all races are held down.
Individuality has been so neatly destroyed, no one really has their own style or ideas anymore. Thinking outside of the box is discouraged. The big obsession the last several years has been the Zombie Apocalypse. What people fail to realize, is that the Zombie Apocalypse is here. Thinking for yourself has gone out the window. Everyone walks around in a mindless haze, either staring off into space, or staring blankly into their smart phone checking their twitter accounts and facebook feeds. People are so aloof that they do not notice the beauty around them. The beauty in birdsong, and the play of sunlight through the canopy of trees in the distance.
The idea of working together for the local cause has gone away. Replaced by the take mentality. Using resources, and ignoring the suffering of the world around you. No longer should we look only inward. We look inward, and we do not see anything anyway, so even that is pointless. We need to look out, look around us, and see the state of our fellow man, the animals and plants around us. Suffering caused by lack of anything that can be materially provided in a first world country is tragic. It's pointless, it's something that should not be. 1% of the country should not control more than the remaining 99%. Suffering, and strife occurs around us on a daily basis, yet we are blind to it. Are we truly blind, or do we see it, and refuse to see it, to consider what it means? Why are they going through a hard time, can we help them? If we can help them, how do we do just so? How do we become more engaged with our neighbors, our community?
Get involved, talk to the people around you. Establish a bond with other families. Let your kids play together, and truly be kids. Let them explore the world, come up with games that they can play. Let them make believe, let them be a prince or princess and knights, or what ever they with so be even for a little while. Throw community parties, cook outs, bon fires. Anything to build a bond between people around you. Support one another, learn music, and play together. Help them when it is needed, and support them if it's needed. Emotionally, spiritually, and by material means if necessary. Do not tolerate violence, or those that seek to manipulate and abuse the community generosity. They are a threat to the good of the family, the tribe, and the community.
A way to get out of the grasps of the money manipulators is by going smaller in scale, consider those around you, and work with them. Secure what you need, and Live on what you can get. Be aware, be open to change, and new ideas. Consider new sources of energy, green and renewable. Consider growing a lot of your own food if you can. create a community garden for your neighborhood if there is an open space where you can do so. If you have no free space, grow a garden on your patio, using totes, or planters.
Learn to live again, learn to love, learn to laugh. The world will be better for it. Care for our fellow creatures, is what we need to work on developing. No matter our lot in society, we are all people, on this earth at this time. Working our lives away, is not what we are meant to be doing.
