good ol' Columbus and his Spaniards.
tryin to go about civilizin the savages.
who says WE'RE civilized anyway? it's all perspective. i mean, how is it more civilized to think we are better than all the other species on the planet?
how can we decide that we know what is best for the earth and all her inhabitants? we aren't the higher powers here. but a lot of us think we are.
And so the question is asked of me, but really, of us all: Do you? Do you think you are better than all the rest? Do you think you are more omnipotent and powerful than the higher entity surrounding and becoming all of us?
And do I? No, I don't, but even if we don't, we behave in that way. our actions speak for our beliefs and part of that is ignorance. i don't think i'm better. but maybe subconsciously i do. and that makes me just as bad as the rest of the world, doesn't it?
there are lots of people like me and all the rest of us out there who know we aren't better and KNOW we aren't in control of this planet and our solar system and our galaxy and the universe. WE KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE.
But, it's hard to feel like you can actually do something about it--about all those other people out there who are seemingly "in charge". so in effect we are idle-y standing by allowing others who do not have the best interest of the whole world...just themselves... to be in charge because they have the biggest mouths and the money to make things happen, to do the things they feel are right, what they feel is the way it should be. but it isn't the way WE feel it should be.
So, then, do they actually govern us and our actions, our thoughts, our beliefs, the things we hold to be self-evident and true in our hearts?
Not so much--but they have their hands, feet and all kinds of other body parts in so many facets of the society in which we live...
government
education
insurance
finances
media
you name it
And of course part of the problem is that i, like so many others, have bought into the whole idea of what a "good, successful" life should be--
and so they tell me i need it with their words
and they sell it to me with their words in my mind
and i buy it with my money that goes into their pockets
all the while in the back of my head knowing i shouldn't
brainwashing
programmed, yes...but in the wrong way
