It is so sad to see how the dreams for a better future get crushed under the boots of fate while we are the ones wearing them.Mankind had a good start. Originating from God’s miracle, aliens or an evolved monkey, depending on the views, it looked promising.Important inventions, new achievements, quick development, all made possible under the umbrella of the birth of science. Step by step, we transformed this useful tool into a weapon against ourselves. We made it into an antidote for the poisons we create. We had to poison the food; we had to poison the air; we had to poison even our genes experimenting towards the creation of modern Frankenstein’s, all in favor of faster living, more money and personal growth.
The modern madness is best described in the lyrics of the Fury In The Slaughter House song "Every Generation Got Its Own Disease”:
The more we take, the less we give;
That’s the modern way to live.
My question is: What do we need all of this money for if soon we’ll kill our own planet, respectively ourselves? Where are we rushing to-Death?
Death will find it’s way, we don’t need to hurry to the first counter and buy the last one way ticket. It hurts me to see that while we all strive to be more and more professional we are becoming less and less human. While we brake our heads for more and faster income, bigger, more luxurious houses, cars which make us choke, clothes we proudly wear to pretend in, while we turn away from every person in need which addresses us for help as their last hope, living this fake and manufactured product we call life, we forgot the fundamental thing which makes us human-The conscience. We hurt, we hate, we kill, we envy, we destroy and we don’t give a damn. We don’t know how to love and we are clumsy in receiving it.We live in formalities and need to provide as much artificiality as possible to look away from the true problem, our inner messy worlds of endless dissatisfaction. Burying deep the inner chaos, suffering, loneliness, low self-esteem, emotional discomfort, tons of stress and insecurity, we arise bitter. In the endless and pointless competition against time and the race to forget, we managed to break out in space but not into our own hearts. Synthetic and heartless relations are summed up best in the "Fury" line:
The love is gone and what we’ve got is sweet perfume of sex and blood.
As such we are unacceptable to the higher conscience, the global conscience. We cannot maintain our camouflaged hell by squashing all the voices of reason. It is time that we listen.
We have millions of experts but a handful of honest, good and caring people. We need to increase that army not to continue the wars of various interests but to bring peace. We can all do this, every day, in our own way. I am not suggesting we should wipe off professions, I am only suggesting that we add more of a human angle in everything we do. Let’s recall how to love, to forgive and to help.
These are the fundaments of every religion but we have mastered in turning them towards one another.

BE HONEST. BE YOURSELF. BE BRAVE!
And we’re back!
Being honest and true to ourselves, is the highest act of
bravery.
We are what we consume. So true. Therefore, being smart, in
control and cautious of what we put into our bodies is both an act of courage and
inner growth.
Changes are not easy.
Alcohol consumption, eating disorders, chain smoking and drug
addictions, usually imply lack of courage as well as excess of it.
Lack of courage to face the truth, accept, forgive or engage
in making thorough changes and excess of it, when facing death.
No one can argue that these destructive habits are anything but an alternative, perhaps slower path towards suicide.
Over two years later, the draft version left halfway back in
2011, is to be completed in 2013, carrying the same message as the problems
that are eating up our planet, before our eyes and due to our impotence, remain
the same.
I had a long pause in the creative sense while the inner
development and growth continued with an accelerated tempo. The more
unhappiness, injustice, sorrow, negativity, death, destruction and depression I
witnessed, the greater the will to do something about it got each day.
Minds need to be reset, our whole beings centered in order
for all of us to relax, appreciate and accept ourselves and one another, acknowledge
the Truth, love more, give more and expect nothing.
Unless the act of giving unconditionally is pleasurable on
its own, there will always be an interest driven reality around us.
Those in power who crush every bit of goodness in the world
are wrong. As long as we fall in the trap of their propaganda, envy them and
want to be part of their “power jet”, the only perspective we will have is
going to be illusive.
An aerial view is adrenalin boosting, mesmerizing and
beautiful but also very superficial.
In life, to recognize, know and understand the Truth, one
has to be an ant and a frog, just as much as a bird.
Little steps and patience, bring great changes. Thank you
for your courage!
