As ever, these are my observations. Take them as you wish…
Politicians are reactive, and will do what they need to in order to remain in office, or in their position, or to attain a position and ensure some sort of retirement package, regardless of whether or not their time spent in that chair is of any benefit to anyone else at all.
Being reactive, they don’t really think for themselves. They are inundated with lobbyist pressure, public outcries, and whatever slant is imposed upon them by whatever force requires something from them. Most often, it’s the last consideration of what’s best for everyone, because it’s a choice or wealthy few who make decisions that influence these silly, cowardly puppets. So unfortunately their job becomes one of fielding occasional news media scrutiny, but rarely actually saying anything definitively. Everything is possible, potential, in consideration, or on the table for discussion. What gets resolved is what has the most reward, be it financial, political, positional, or familial. Yes, cowardly.
Politicians are not, therefore, leaders. Not by any stretch. They afford us someone to bitch about, complain to, or vent upon, mostly because we’re used to some sort of distant subservience and can’t actually get organized as a society, or culture, and effect change for ourselves. So, when things happen that are outrageous, scandalous, or otherwise headline-worthy, we’re satiated by the opportunity to gripe about something we really don’t know anything about…
Perhaps it’s time for a CTRL-ALT-DEL on the whole thing, no? Regardless of who ultimately ends up with the false title of “prime minister” or “president” or whatever stupid label you want to use, our conditioned response is one of waiting for their failure, more frequently with those promises made along their road to election. It’s rather absurd, but we take it, again and again, and again, and assume something different will happen this time around! WAKE UP!
No single man or woman can possibly ever really have the ability to properly lead a nation of any size, for more of them have advisers, writers, readers, and handlers that do most everything for them anyway. It’s all bullshit, really. But, that’s not to say it’s hopeless. Again, what’s MOST important, is to remember that each and every one of us have a voice, and we need, ultimately, to use it. If we’re complacent and reactive, much like our supposed leaders are, then we have NO right to complain if policies, laws, and orders are not to our communal liking or benefit. It is of utmost importance to STAND UP and realize that everyone around you is a part of you, and ultimately wants the same thing. We just need to communicate, without stupid limitations such as race, religion, colour or creed.
We’re humans, and we’re not simply animals. We’re in control here, for whatever it’s worth, and what we choose to co-create is our CHOICE, moment to moment, minute to minute, and year to year. There’s no better time than NOW, for NOW is really the only “time” there is.
Search yourself for that spark and light up the flame that burns brightly, join hands with your neighbour and effect the change you want, from the bottom up, as they’d say, which is ultimately where the power lies. Don’t just react to headlines, in fact, if you read them at all, treat them as such: merely one angle or opinion, or point of view.
News media types are akin to buzzards, circling around awaiting some morsel of sustenance, provided willingly by those who know how to manipulate the system as it currently stands. They too, are largely cowards, and they know it, for they can rarely think for themselves, and are reading from teleprompters, not speaking their minds and heart truths.
It’s a game, and you know it. It’s a beautiful thing, for once you’re conscious and aware of it (AWAKENED) then the next step is always clear. It’s a step that is infused with love as it’s foundation, and love as it’s fuel. It’s a loaded weapon of unity and coalition of strengths, acceptance, and unlimited potential.
I’m ready. So are you. There is no fight to fight, for the enemy is within. Face your demons and realize the power of who and what you REALLY are. They’ve been lying to you for most of your life, and it’ll serve you well to shed that old skin to be reborn into a new way of thinking, of BEing, and of universal interdependency. You need no one, but you are everyone. Period.
Done, and done.
