Is It All a Pantomime?

          The future for all of us is in the balance, as Governments continue with what they know best and that is to smash and destroy countries who do not agree with them!  There are many different policies now, especially centred on the Middle East, where nations are only out for what they can get.

          It is a scandal that countries are funding and trading with the perceived enemy for their own individual needs and requirements, rather than working for the greater good of their people and their neighbours.

          The history of Mankind shows very clearly that violence begets violence and as it rises to a greater height an empire is born, so then, in due time, it falls and all is lost and swallowed up again.

          Where there are outbreaks of love and harmony around the world, they are distrusted and sabotaged by the aggressive and hungry barons of the killing machines, who are never satisfied, but always want deals for themselves.

          After two World Wars one could be forgiven for thinking that humanity had had enough of bloodletting and destruction.  It seems as though the peace-loving souls are sleepwalking through their lives and prefer the status quo rather than try and change the balance of power.

          The reality is that this world is falling into disrepair and disrepute.  It has been ravaged for too long and now there are only a few futile efforts between nations to try and stem the flow of Climate Change without actually doing anything seriously.

          Anything that costs them money and therefore reduces their productivity is looked on as a nonstarter!  Somebody else must pay!  If you want us to change our dirty habits you must pay us to do so.

          Where is the common sense that by carrying on in this way there won’t be any future for any nation?  Resources are being squandered on such a mega scale that there won’t be enough raw materials to go around at this rate.

          What is being missed is that as the world weather changes and the seas levels rise, there will be more famine caused by extremes of weather and with the resistance to antibiotics there will be less food and more disease to cope with.

          The relief organisations are already being stretched.  With an increasing population, backed by the selfish religious institutions that seem only to count in the numbers of their congregation and not in the misery caused by over populating, there is a new level of poverty that isn’t being addressed.

          How can they justify the wealth and grandeur of their lives and the buildings that they frequent with the poverty of many of their followers around the world?  Is their faith based on trust?  Is this the sort of trust that says that we have got away with it for thousands of years and so why shouldn’t we continue in the same vein?

          The good people are asleep!  They have moved away from the antics of their Governments and their religious houses to just live within their own little world of likeminded family and friends.

          By shutting their eyes to the outcomes of these continuing events, we must ask them what future they see for their children and their children’s children.  Are they expecting a fairy godmother to come and take Cinderella to the ball and dismiss the ugly sisters to their fate?

          There are quite literally good and bad factors here and we can see the mistakes of Governments, as the uncaring and selfish acts of the ugly sisters, while the good Cinderella slaves away for little reward, but will be saved in the end, because she cares for goodness and love, which she believes is inherent in all people.

          The answer here is that the love is there in all of us, but the hate and the greed has to be learned!  See how the dictators over the decades have dominated their people and even used genocide and ethnic cleansing to weed out the people that they do not want there.

          We must start to speak up for the rights of human kind and to see that all are respected and understood.  We never know when we are going to find ourselves in uncomfortable situations and our charmed life starts to fade.

          There are so many dangers in today’s world that we cannot seriously believe that Man has the answers to all these problems of his own creating.  If there is no Higher Intelligence then we are heading for certain doom and gloom.

          It is unthinkable that there is nothing more intelligent and loving beyond our own horizons, so we must all look within ourselves to find the solutions and seek to follow our conscience knowing what is right and what is wrong.
