We,
the I's of communities, cities, states and nations are the I's that
define and / or determine through our relationships the nature of
ourselves, the nature of our nations, the nature of humankind.
Be
we the people of apathy and ignorance or we the people integrity
standing as pillars of equality within and as what is best for all,
we as the I's of societies, the ones of humanity weave the web of
relationship lines, the designs that define and/or determine the
nature of ourselves, the nature of our nations, the nature of
humanity.
In
understanding how each one of us participates through our actions or
inaction (notice the two words are basically identical), we enable
ourselves to take charge of not only the directions of our individual
lives but also the directions of our nations and the direction of
humankind.
Historically,
there have always been movements in our world but they have not
always considered the rest of the world in the sense that, not all
relationships outflows were taken into account; therefore, some might
have benefited while others suffered. For example, the quest for ever
cheaper products, has resulted in lost jobs and lower wages.
Key
to understanding how to change the workings of our nations is to
understand that: 1) Everything is interconnected; 2) As we are the
people of our nations, the only way we're going to change the
workings of these nations is to change the workings of their
constituent components, ourselves.
Calling
on the 1% to change their behavior to make the world a better place
is like calling on guns and grenades to stop the wars without
considering wherein "I as one in relation to all" have
accepted the existence of war and through my actions or inactions am
allowing it to continue.
When
looking at the roles one's actions or inactions cause, it's necessary
to be self-honest and not participate in the game of see no evil,
hear no evil, speak no evil. Investigate all things, especially where
your money is going. You may be surprised to find that the same
corporations that produce your favorite brands of food substitute
also profit from the miseries of war - wherein similar products are
also used to poison the water supplies or defoliate the trees. From
these investigations, consider “who I am” in relation to where my
money is going/supporting. Be self-honest and simply change these
relationships. Or don't change them; you decide, just please do not deny/our your abilities
to make a difference.
When
we point our fingers in blame, demanding that others take action and
reform, we deny our roles as the living integrals that make up the
interconnected relationships of cause and effect; thereby abdicating
– to the extent that we deny – our ability to stand as
authorities and take responsibility for determining and implementing
change to effect solutions.
Who
makes the bombs? We the people do!
Who
fight the wars? We the people do!
Who
comprise and compromise our nations? We the people do!
Who
enforce the laws? We the people do!
Who
collect the Taxes? We the people do!
Who
collect the debts? We the people do!
Who
is humanity? We the people are, 100%!
How
do we change the world?
We
change what we will accept and allow in our relationships!
The
small percentage of the population that we call the elite do not
enforce upon the masses the income gap, the distribution of wealth,
the distribution of resources, minimum wages, taxes, laws, etc.
We ourselves do! We the people are the only ones able to change the
state of inequality or our nations, the nations of humanity.
Solutions
such as Living
Income Guarantee are ready to be implemented. The catch is
that, the one percent is not going to do it; not because they agree
or disagree with equality but because they are not able to do for the
masses that which each one requires to do for one's self, change the
nature of one's relationships to the nature of equality within what
is best for all.
To
become an integral part of the big solution, look inside of self; for
it is here within and as the small of each-one's relationships that
we define and/or determine the nature of ourselves which in turn
defines and/or determines the nature of the bigger relationships –
all the way on up to the nature of humanity.
Our
Votes as living/breathing constituents of nations of peoples of
humanity are not yes, no, for and against pieces of paper that we
slip into boxes. Our 'living votes' as the determinants of the
workings of our communities, cities, states and nations are the who
we are (in thought, word and deed) as components of the relationships
in and as the small of ourselves in connection to one-another/all,
that form the relationship components of the world system, the nature
of humanity, the collective reflection of the natures of ourselves.
Each
One-I of humanity has a responsibility as the ability to determine
who each is in relation to all. Walk to live and become a pillar of responsibility/integrity and
participate in determining the nature of self, the nature of humanity
and the future of humankind. Abdicate this responsibility, and . . .
Life
is defined by and in relationships. As such, the best that one is able to be really is
of (relationship) equality within and as what is best for all. Our
responsibilities to ourselves, one-another and all, are to become the
best that we are able to be and become - that which is in all ways
best for all. Giving and doing unto one another as one would in-turn
be given and have done unto is the gift that we give ourselves
by giving it to one another.
