As mentioned in the last post, being content with your situation, or OUR situation in this case is the best answer to resolving your pursuit for happiness. This world is corrupt, ignorant, pessimistic, unloving, and in complete denial of all of this. Denial is the greatest road blocks to success. Admission of guilt or wrong doing is the first step to moving forward. It doesn't even necessarily have to be admission of your own guilt or wrong doing. It could simply be admitting that something is being done wrong and needs to be changed.
Power struggle: when someone, or a group of people fight to make their opinion fact or their name/names more important. Power in this world is nothing. Money is everything. The more power you have, the more you are hated. Your name means nothing to society unless you fight and work your ass off for it. Even then, you are just another compilation of letters slapped on a business card. But as I mentioned before, what you do or even how much of an impact you make is never enough.
So you want to make a difference. You want to take a stand, speak your opinion, make an impact, draw a crowd, and be someone. Unfortunately not everyone can do so. I personally would never want the weight of my words teeter tottering my every movement with the risk bringing upheaval.
Anger and violence are two more very unproductive attributes of a person or country. Anger does nothing but stir up the original problem, making it worse than it could have been. INSTEAD: avoid being aggressive, and be assertive instead. Use calm, steady words. Speak non-offensively to your enemies... embrace their mistakes as grounds for your own betterment. You obviously have the upper hand if you can stay calm in a heated situation. Violence is anger in the physical realm. It does all the same things anger does, but typically leaves no grounds for forgiveness. As if you would want to be forgiven in the first place, lets just say you were aggressive and violent with a friend of a friend for saying something offensive to you. Without regard to who "won" or "lost", think about the emotional exchange taking place during a violent dispute. Questionable anti-moral thoughts stream fearlessly through your mind. Thoughts of far more violent things than you could have ever intended if you were not in the heat of this moment. Unreasonable things become acceptable and you become temporarily corrupt to your own thought pattern. Is it violence that brings us, as humans, together as one? Is it anger that pulls the weight of this country or any other for that matter? Peace is now and will forever be the only way. Happiness has to be accepted... it doesn't come on it's own. Happiness has to be created. Peace has to be created.
Those of you who sit back and complain about the world's faults, should be accepting these things as opportunities for you, as a responsible human being, to put your part in... even if you only get your foot in the door. It doesn't take one powerful person to change things. It takes many people playing small parts to get things done. Are you worried about the pollution of the air we breathe? If so, stop littering. Stop building compost piles with chemicals and non degradable plastics. Stop burning recyclable material. Stop purchasing pollutants. That will be your small part to play. Every time you decide to not throw that not-so-biodegradable fast food cup out your window will bring us that much closer to resolving the air pollution problem across the globe.
Closing out I would like to say that this world is now and has always been corrupt and its nothing worth frowning about. Nature in itself is the single most beautiful thing on this earth. But when something happens that poses a threat to the health of our environment, it is merely this corrupt and selfish world balancing itself out. This world will never be perfect. This world will always fall further from what it was to start with.
