I hope you're listening out there...sometimes I'm not sure. The past several months I have poured out a number of ideas, thoughts and general views, all in an effort to establish some sort of connection. Ideally, I would have offered enough to keep you intrigued and give you an understanding of who I am. At least then, if I really had something to say, people would be paying attention. Hopefully I have succeeded.
Of course, the journey has taken many twists and turns. For those who have continued to follow me, I thank you. Patience will pay off. I have to "introduce" myself. To open my mind and offer the things that were contained within the world. Much of it was written years ago and I felt a need to clear out the old, laying a foundation for posts to come.
I believe it has been fairly obvious that I am disgruntled, not with life in general but with the direction we are headed. See, I think Utopia is obtainable, we are the greatest obstacle to achieving such a society. Man is a violent, greedy, lazy beast and nothing will change until we learn to overcome our iniquities. We have the choice to unite and ascend or to self-destruct.
The question is no longer how to achieve such a state but when we will really begin working toward it. Peace is easy. The answers are out there and only our own mentalities hold us back.
I'm tired of our fighting over a piece of land when there is enough for everyone. Property should not be an issue. No more borders, no more walls, no more nations.
I'm tired of the arguing about who really knows God and the animosity held against those who disagree. That relationship is personal. Just as in a family with multiple children, each child developing an individual relationship with the father or other, so too do we each develop an individual relationship with the divine. We do not try to force our brothers and sisters to feel exactly the same about our parents as we do.
I'm sick of suffering through money problems when if everyone worked together, everyone could live comfortably. Why must we horde and squander what we don't ever need, even for comfort.
I don't want to hear anymore excuses...
The time has come for a new nation to rise from the ashes of a world on fire. It is time to put our foot down upon the necks of the tyrants, cast down oppressors and greedy, selfish politicians. It is time for heroes to stand up and the world to once again push forward, rather than being content with the way things are.
We must always remember to stand for what is true and what is righteous. Never compromise ideals, not those you have for yourself nor those you expect to hold for society. Let's begin building a brighter future.
Fight for what you believe in.
Refuse, Resist, Rise Above, Regret Nothing!

There are many elements of good intent in what you are saying here, but also some that can become distorted and misused. I think it is important to remember the lesson of Babel as depicted in Genesis. The fight that is based solely on self interest and belief systems that are devised from one's inner being are what can cause the problems in society and be the greatest obstruction to peace.

now i really liked this and agree with you here. i too would rather know more about God in a relationship that's growing.
but as for Utopia? you're mind is free and no one can take away that away from you. you can dream all you like and if this helps you cope with the harsh environment you're in, cool.
for myself and my beliefs, that Utopia you speak of is actually going to take place. ONLY after God creates a new heaven and earth. by then, i hope i'm dancing for Him and it won't be in Utopia:)

ReplyDeletehello again, Daniel. been thinking about this section of your post. wanted to answer it the other day but didn't. reality is, there must be borders and there must be nations. again, i'd repeat you are free to think as you like and no one can take that away from you. you and are going to disagree in our line of thought from time to time during this journey or saga, if you will. we can all grow in the sense as long as we listen to one another. but there must be borders and walls...otherwise half of the population will disappear from either genocide or diseases. America is on it's way to becoming Post-America because there's some that believe in a New World Order. i've lived in a communist country where the people believed and have been trained/educated to believe "WE ARE ALL THE SAME." but guess what? the politicians/dictators taught it...but don't live it. those in charge have a different life style. as for the people? they remain in wanting! it doesn't work. it won't work. nor can it.
the other side of this is....we are Israel.
another thought for you:)
ReplyDeleteAn economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that ____'s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on ______'s plan".
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A...
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed
