I’m with you on some of your grand ideas…the world and all its people are half asleep. We need to wake up and question what’s going on around us. Unfortunately we ‘the people’ seem to be slipping a state of powerless acceptance, that there is nothing we can do to improve the world and all its problems. Government’s no longer listen to their people (did they ever?). Maybe I just have a rose tinted picture of the past, like you, but people seemed to unite and stand against government decisions that they didn’t agree with and now we just seem to believe there is not a lot we can do and as a result do nothing…we all just sit on our couches in front of our TV’s eating c**p and rotting.
As for the idea of us being bred for fighting, I’m not sure that’s entirely true. Yes violence is part of our nature, but the answer to all our problems is not fighting and vengeance. I would like to believe the answers lie in communication, understanding and acceptance of this multicultural, hugely diverse and amazing world in which we live. Sadly I don’t actually believe we are capable of this. Unfortunately all our governments are full of corrupt and greedy fat cats and the people are too busy being hypnotised by their TV’s and trapped in our consumer lifestyles.
I would like people to wake up and enjoy life and the world around them. To all work towards building a better world, or rather repair the one we’ve got. Love thy neighbour and all that…
(I would also like lots of tropical holidays!)
