For those of us who
watch the World News on a regular basis, it is becoming like watching the same
horror movie over and over again.
Nobody seems to
learn from their mistakes and the corruption, the greed and the killing
continues at an ever increasing pace.
Governments come and
go. Armies fight on against not only
their opposing army, but the women and children. The civilians are now fair game and are
targeted with explosives and by suicide bombers.
As if that wasn’t
enough, greedy builders and owners of businesses are being exposed, as their
handiwork collapses again and again killing hundreds of people. Building and fire regulations are regularly
ignored and the innocent suffer through lack of forethought and lack of spending
on safety.
Refugee camps are
springing up around the globe and slum dwellings are becoming common in places
everywhere. The poor have no refuge save
the hand-out or crumbs from the rich man’s table.
The rich are
becoming richer and the poor are becoming a higher percentage in every nation
on earth. What divides Man’s mind-sets
is that he will only work for extra goodies in his pocket and the way to
succeed is to bribe the already corrupt and to ignore the goodness that is
daily trampled on by those who don’t believe in a world of justice and
compassion.
Until each and every
soul on this planet stops thinking that there is nothing that they can do about
changing the state of affairs throughout the world, nothing will ever get done.
Already the rich
nations are continuing to pollute the air with their gas guzzling four-wheel
drive vehicles, which are used primarily for the school and the supermarket
runs.
Nobody is prepared to take responsibility
anymore. Nobody is prepared to add their
little bit to the pile of progress. Why
is everybody so selfish, when if we all tried that little bit more to help the
planet and the Greater Good, this earth plane could be saved and the fighting
would cease.
Until we all do something about the state of the world, we are all responsible for its decline
and we will all suffer the
consequences for the destruction of ourselves, those who we love and the whole
environment which allowed us to live here, until we all gave up on it.
