We've watched the unrealistic, overtly pampered offspring of wealth take insightfully written and created laws that they do not understand, and toss them out of the way to get their own way, for whatever reason. I still do not understand why they attacked Iraq and killed Saddam in the middle of going after Al Qaida.
We know we've been lied to, used, and that many of us are being manipulated into fighting and dying for a proven whim! This has been horrifying! And we are still in it!!! Being run by it!!!!!
I've been wondering, what kind of "power" I am to attain from all of this?
The answer keeps coming up: less and less, and eventually, none.
There's no power in apathy. The emptiness of it gets old.
Outrage doesn't do any good unless it's in huge numbers.
So where is the opening for empowerment in all this?
Personally, I find solace is not working for a "conventionally sold out" employer. It doesn't pay well at all to do this, and it renders me poor materially, but I feel so much better inside, despite the lack of pay! There is something to this.
Fed jobs, Gov. jobs, Corporations, I roll my eyes at them anymore.
I dunno, maybe I'm just one of the many, first in line for a huge wave of lifestyle changes and downsizing that is already in motion, just not as visible as the corruption yet. Maybe empowerment out of all of this, is to be able to let go of alot of outworn beliefs, trusts, and needs and to become more self-sufficient outside of the mainstream, accept a lack of security as we've known it, while flexibility becomes the most reliable security of all.....
Anyway, the question?
Where is the empowerment for you, in all of this mess the US is in?
