Are you wasting your time and your mind? Whatever you believe you have, own, or control, we cannot regain time, and without a developed, controlled mind, life can feel like one disaster or mishap after another.
Or, that we are never doing enough, which drives us into the abyss of "I want and need more and more and more."
What did you do today that makes you feel better about yourself, and what did you do to make the world a better place?
What growth did you pursue that would bring you mental and emotional calm and understanding?
And why are these developments so significant? Well, my friends let us dive down this so significant rabbit hole.
After all, a morally qualitative world for us is a better world for everyone. Wouldn't it be nice to be healthy, well-fed, and secure while living in harmony?
How about news without death, upheaval, murder, greed, and lies? Of course, there may still be natural occurrences that nature unleashes on us. But we can certainly limit the crap we inflict on each other.
As an individual, it is very easy to feel hopeless. But think for a moment, one bad leader can destroy a nation, one person can cause a multiple-car pile-up, and one mass shooter can cause a massive catastrophe.
Mother Theresa helped millions, Nelson Mandela, Triore, Dr. Martin Luther King, Cesar Chavez, Rosa Parks, Socrates, and thousands of others that never made the history books. All of these were ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
The simple act of love and support for another person can lead to unfathomable positive results. What is "Ted Bundy" was given love and understanding. How about some of these bullied and unsupported school shooters were given the same?
Most instances of hate and violence come from people who hate themselves. They feel inferior, so they want to be considered superior by others. Greed comes from feeling inferior, as does the need to control others.
If we find contentment and fulfillment within ourselves, we would never inflict hardship and hate on others. Happy people spread happiness, and unhappy people spread unhappiness.
Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet. No cult, creed, or collective law can change that; that can only be changed from within. The way from within is why self-realization, self-control, and self-development are the only sustainable answers.
Today, I asked AI: "Can humanity survive on its current trajectory? I already knew the answer, but asked anyway. Next was part of the answer:
Humanity's survival on its present trajectory is highly uncertain, with grim potential outcomes like collapse or extinction due to environmental destruction (climate change, resource depletion) if major shifts don't occur, though some argue technological advancement or space colonization could offer escape; the consensus points towards significant challenges demanding urgent global, multigenerational action to transition to a sustainable path, as current trends strain the biosphere that supports technologically dependent civilizations, potentially leading to a breakdown of complex societies, says Stanford, climate scientist Michael Mann, and other experts.
Ecological Collapse: Exponential population and technology growth mirror accelerating environmental destruction, threatening the biosphere that underpins modern life.
Climate Crisis: Continuing fossil fuel reliance pushes Earth past safe climate limits, risking widespread uninhabitability and food shortages.
Technological Dependence: Most humans rely on complex systems; nature collapse could leave many unable to survive outside these systems.
Societal Breakdown: Growing inequality and political obstacles hinder climate action, potentially leading to societal collapse even if the species survives.
It doesn't take a genius to realize the truth. The "Pied Piper" is leading humanity over the cliff of extinction and at the same time, using the distractions of hate, greed, division, sexism, ethnisizm, genderism, politics, religion, and whatever people will fall for.
We are all in this together; everything we have comes from a chain of other people, all the way back to "Mother Earth." Maybe you don't care. However, walking onto a freeway/motorway during rush hour while not caring will still cause you harm or even death.
We all have a part to play. Some people will continue to push us over the edge. We don't need to be "Sheeple."
As my Mum would say, when I tried to use the cop out excuse of "well, they did it." Mum would say, If everyone jumped off a cliff, would you follow?
The usual way of humanity is to close the barn door after the cows have run away. Then point fingers. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
We can start in small ways. Start by improving your life, even if it's as simple as moving from a fixed to a growth mindset. Find healthy and non-destructive ways to happiness. Don't settle for surviving, move towards thriving.
Misery loves miserable company. Unhappy people want everyone else to be unhappy.
I don't care if you are homeless, broke, unloved, despised, uneducated, poor, YOU ARE STILL SOMEBODY! And no one has the right to tell you that you don't count.
People who lie, cheat, murder, and steal to make vast amounts of money and grab power will tell others they don't count because they have no money or power. On the contrary, I think the cheaters, murderers, and thieves don't count.
And who do they gain these things from? It's you and me. Make your presence felt in a new and beautiful world for all living creatures.
Your mind, your body, your world. Let's make the world Great!
To you, my dearest friends, may you find peace, health, and happiness within yourself, and spread it to others. Don't do anything to anyone that you don't want done to you.
Peace and Love. How about that?
