Empathy, Integrity, and Transparency

Two words brother,

Be Divine

And there is simply no getting around that issue.

Try as ya might.



Take hope my friend, Google search produces 1,100,000,000
results for the term "the nobody". Yup! That is 1 billion, 100 million.

Talk about going viral, about 2 years ago it was less then 100 thousand.



As I said on your other thread, to change the world, you need only change your mind. Whatever holds your focus, has you in its grasp.

Dreams are no exception

Remember



Be the change The Divine wants in the world and all the other stuff doesn't matter.

Love ya!

If the baby boomers had a fault, it was in naively trusting the authorities their parents had trusted and gone to war for.

Life and society was very different then. People in authority were far more likely to behave with integrity -not least because they were most often part of the community they served. Contact with authorities was personal and local - not with some vast robotic computer data centre.

My own mother was a civil servant most of her life - what are called 'government workers' now. *Notice the change in emphasis??* She was so proud to be a public servant. She and her colleagues bent over backwards and inside out to make sure they dealt with the public fairly and squarely.

They had firm principles, morals and scruples - none of this 'moral relativism'. Today's world probably finds it hard to understand the stability and trust and naivete that these characteristics created.

The BBs trusted - and cared passionately, and had plenty of utopian dreams...e.g. you think that recycling was invented in the 80s or 90s? Ha! Everything was recycled and reused/repaired when I was growing up - everyone recycled all the things we do today. The difference was that it was genuinely to save waste and use all the resources we had - not because some global business can make millions from it.

There was no built-in obsolescence. No flash-in-the-pan designer anything. No multi-million dollar globally recognisable brand names - literally, the only consumer brands I knew growing up were Hoover and CocaCola and a few names of small, local grocery product manufacturers. There were no vast global corps to speak of.

Just as most people didn't see the immense scale and scope of the NSA's monitoring until it was all in place - a fait accompli and secret coup - so the BBs were hoodwinked by the rogue element secret coups of the most greedy and predatory elements that inveigled governments into handing over their (OUR!) power, bit by bit.

...Whilst their equally innocent children were lured into glitzy designer trainers and jeans and propagandized to play computer games and train for glossy jobs in global companies...None of us were privy to the machinations of the energy and banking industries deep behind the scenes...

Does this give any flavour of how and why BBs were quite suddenly overwhelmed by the machinations of a very few rogue elements which hijacked a more sane, more principled world? It wasn't a perfect world, but at least most people were on the right track.

Please, let's not blame the Baby Boomers. They were just like us with all the same hopes and dreams and equally 'mushroomed': kept in the dark and fed manure.

nevermind

This is a great thread.

Good to 'see' you friend.

Always wise...

Love ya back.

GOD IS the magnitude of creation and we are the multitude of manifestations reflected as infinite butterfly effects.

Some of us that are older are very much awake!

The reason for my post of this is because of my post on another thread last night. I was pretty angry at everything, so you'll have to excuse the F Bombs. If that offends you, then don't read it.
