Can we make a difference?

A lot of the time these days I feel as though the world is becoming a worse place, the way that it becomes clear that governments and the companies they work in the interests of are running away with plans to ruin the environment in a last gasp effort to get fossil fuels, in an insane attempt to create new sources of revenue so rich people can get richer and rape the planet, often I feel demoralised, scared that we are seeing the end of the world, but in many ways we are seeing the truth emerging of the ways in which this world is a dangerous and dirty place, and people are coming together because of the truth that is becoming clearer, people are actually working together to highlight the darkness in our world, to do something about it, perhaps there is hope that we can rid ourselves and our communities and our countries of the ways in which they are ruined by individuals by coming together to support initiatives, by doing the right thing, by supporting efforts to make these issues clear to all, I don't know how much one vote, one name on a petition like this helps, and when I can I've given money to these types of organisations, to greenpeace, to the tibet relief fund, to the peple who want to change the money system, I hope that each of us CAN make a difference, for our children's sakes, for the planets sake, for our own sake

There are so many distractions out there, its so easy to change the channel when something distressing comes on the t.v. it's so easy to not hear about the things in the world that affect the lives of millions, modern slavery exists, today the world is in just the same position it was before although we like to think that many of the issues of the past have been resolved, in fact today greed is far more prevalent because the greedy people can hide behind initiatives and governments purporting to be doing the right things, look at the G8 or G7 as they are calling it now that they've kicked Russia out

They promise many things, but then the financial crisis came along, who do governments owe the money to?  Bankers, the people who fund the world, with it's own resources, the resources of the world belong to the world, not to individuals, the land of the world does not belong to one person or another, it doesn't belong to anyone, the land is the land, the planet is the planet, it belongs to itself.

We should be as the supposed most intelligent species, the stewards of the environment, working together to create ways in which sustainability will allow life to thrive on this world, to make it a better place, where we all know the truth not the lies that we are told to sell products that make us ill.

We could all be eating a diet that prevented most illnesses, we could all be living much richer lives with far less in terms of things made out of stuff and it's been painful for me to realise this truth...

As I've rid myself of the addictions of gadgets, whilst writing this on a laptop the irony is there...

I buy second hand, cheap phones, handmedowns but at some point they were new, made of minerals that were dug by slave labour, fought over, to create a gadget, there is precious little time left for us to come to this realisation the world over, when we are told to be good consumers, to create growth in the economy because that is what will solve the worlds problems, keep governments working in the right direction, it's all nonsense told by people with a limited understanding of the issues, retold daily by the news and media who are really either puppets and propagandists, or just slaves to an outdated agenda that doesn't server anyone or anything but the status quo, the fear of what we face making us all bury our heads in the sand and think that business as usual is ok at this point when it really isn't.

Either we all wake up and change the way we live, or it's all over sooner rather than later.

I wonder if man and woman, us humans, are we a good thing, are we worth the risk?

This planet gave us life, we came about as the next random or planned step...

What is the next one ahead of us, ultimate destruction or a higher state of being, will the people who try to protect their way of life, building bunkers for government officials, and seed banks in the arctic, will they survive and try to rebuild from the seeds of our destruction because that would be a lie.

Many of us see this and are doing our bit to withdraw from a way of life that poisons us and the planet, making decisions based on thriving not just surviving, on creating not just consuming.

Those are the meek, the geek, the truly living, looking weak but so so strong individuals who choose to grow their food in community, in balance with the environment, the rest are trapped in a system.

Myself included as I continue to consume sugar daily in everything, and my body gets weak and I don't feel as though I can choose the way I live my life as I am merely a product of my inability to change, to have the courage to stand up for what I believe in, to conquer my fears, to outgrow the damage i've done to myself and hold my hands up about the accident that lead me here from 2011.

I'm healing and I hope the world is too, as a light is shone on the darkest areas of government intrusion in the name of inspiring freedom around the world, to prevent terrorism we have to be watched at every turn, tightening up and removing our freedom to do and be as we wish makes people more likely to rebel against that, war and death and murder creates more of it, we all need to forgive and move on and it will necessarily mean that power structures wither and die because they have to, countries will become smaller, europe will become nation states, regional states, communities that are sustainable, that look out for each other on a smaller scale, kings and despots could hold together using force large Nations in the past through fear and manipulation but we won't stand for that any longer, America as a United States will fall soon, China will too into smaller bits.

It's quite natural that as people have the power more and more to choose their own destinies and they do, that the world will change, individuals will have more access to education, the birth rate will go down because of the toxicity as it has been doing, the population of the world will fall, either by oil spill and accident or by design, as the food supply collapses, like foxes, predators and top of the food chain creatures fall prey to the lack of rabbits beneath them and the land cannot cope with the chemicals, the bees are dying and us with them soon, so it's on a knife edge as the darker aspects of our societies look to robot pollinators and taking environmental change as a given but not revealing the truth because they don't want to cause the panic that would ensue we are lied to at every turn, rather than have rebellion on a planetary scale that would rest the power back to the people...

It's exciting and terrifying what the world looks like right now, I'm glad I marched on Parliament.

November the fifth, that night will last forever in my memory, the fear at raising my voice.

I have to end on a good note so I will just say that my mental aberrations are fading.

I may never be the same again and this world will be poorer for the people and species that we are losing daily, the tribes of the true wilds, the plants and animals that are dying because of the rich.

Cut down one mahogany and fifty types of creatures, some unique may never be seen again.

All so someone in london can have a cabinet, or a desk, and they don't care just spend.

We are all mad, and I've been through it enough to know what it looks like close up, I can't say that planet wide we are looking at a good outcome for everyone, I hope that fate and destiny have a role to play, that there is some level of fair play at work for the whole even if individuals get chewed up and spat out, I have always had this naive hope and faith in the right things happening in the end...

I'm going to cling to that, not for me as I know and feel as though all I can do is right by others.

When the people and system that we support not seeing any alternative don't do right...

What is left to us but to continue down the roads they pave, the roads more travelled.

I went down the one I saw as more important but maybe I was just getting lost.

It lead me here to so much confusion about the sights I saw along the way.

A real need to not disappoint those that brought me into the world.

Anymore than I already have, let myself and them down, where is the positive I was hoping to end on?  I'm not dead yet when I thought I would be, asked to be internally, got issues to face head on.

That's a positive given where I was three months ago.

I'll take that then.

Love
Jon
