not to be a preachy doo gooder asshole hypocrite no one likes them. it just seems weird. were all pretty smart and most have good ideas that would work. i know my problem is that i can see the big picture but my weakness is seeing the steps to achieving that goal and having the will power to make myself accomplish them. i recently decided to start donating food to a pantry center just to get myself motivated. see now i know just giving food to hungry people will not solve world hunger it takes the choices and actions of us all to get rid of hunger. and since my strength is being able to truly see the problem and my weakness is not seeing the steps to change it i always felt like i cant do anything about it or its gonna be too hard. so now ive just been diving in and helping people. ive since met other people who like me want change but unlike me have the strength to achieve their goals but also lack the perspective i guess for lack of a better word to change the problem. together we have been changing things for the better. it takes all different kinds of people to make the change and then the change becomes so easy s effortless it'll seem strange to wonder why we never worked together like this before. its easy guys im telling you just get together and discuss what needs to be done then you all do your small part and then boom problem solved.

and also the attitude to never give up on our sleves as a race no matter what bad weve done. no ones perfect and some are just born to be bad. we need to be sympathetic and want peace over all else. some one needs to bite the bullet and not strike back for the wrong weve been done. we need to focus that into solving the problem not just getting even.

I believe many people try, but so many non-profit and medical are tied into the matrix regulations. The environment is pretty much controlled by the matrix or allowing pollution, poison in water and food, pharmaceauticals controlled. The matrix going after organic farmers, alternative medicine and limitations on what you can do independently. The whole system has to change and tptb are stubborn. Even education does not allow for new discoveries that prove false science.

As long as we focus on their destructiveness instead of
working on a vision, all of us on how sane human beings
behave and treat one another we will be respecting that reality more than our own.

The trouble is not just agreeing on a "vision" but also agreeing on how to achieve that "vision".


That agreement isn't going to happen. People do use force to force their vision on others. That doesn't work either.

So why not try freedom? You do what you want as long as it doesn't infringe on someone else.

Too radical I suppose. Too many people think they know how to run everyone else's life.

...another false premise question..first, what's "better" ?...if I conduct myself in as moral a position as I can, don't steal,lie etc., and I raise my family and they hold those standards. The trying to "make" the world better assumes the world thinks or will accept mine/your "improvements". For example, starving folks in Africa...so we send tons and tons of food..that keeps some people from dying, a good...but it also destroys the local farmers...people don't buy what they get free off a truck...the farmers quit and now there is a lack of food, not from drought etc., there is no market...so more starving.,more aid...more starving...Haiti is a good example...so do,do gooders, end up doing bad ?...the intention almost doesn't matter...so I have decided I can do small things on a very small/local level..mostly helping people so they never need my help and I don't hurt people, ever...that's all...

Coming up with ideas to help people and make the world a better place is
certainly a positive activity. Following thru with those ideas even better.
We can contribute in big or smaller ways. It is up to the individual.
Even small positive actions by a lot of people can add up to a large positive
effect.

...this is a cross my heart true story...my oldest son and a group he belonged to in college went to Guatemala ..to a small little village, to "help" assist the locals however they could. A widow with 6 kids lived at the top of a large hill in a 1 room house, no electricity, no running water. The mom had to climb up and down a large hill 5-6 times a day to get water. My son's group thought they could help her in the smallest of ways...build steps down the hill instead of slipping and sliding with jugs of water etc., 3 days into this project,the mom asked them to stop...the other villagers were jealous that SHE was getting help and they weren't...they tried to explain that they were there for a month and were going to help others..she would not hear of it,her neighbors wouldn't talk to her any more...they ended up only fixing/repairing community things,new roof on the church some repairs to a well. Careful what you think is better...

 Quoting: Margaret Smith


..I have no idea what God is thinking..but we have created a much better world...and it continues to get better...that we have a ways to go is no reflection on how far we have gotten...and for all the God folks, we had a perfect world in Eden and man rejected it and now we are here...so if Eden didn't make you happy what will ?...
