This is a message I am trying to spread across the internet. It is not hippie propaganda, it is not communism or socialism or any other bs name you can give it. It is the mindset that is the only salvation for the human race and our planet. Spread the word if you can, if not just don't troll. Thank you.

The world's collective mind is in the wrong places.

Instead of pretending war is natural and necessary to our survival (aka we're the good guys and others must die so we can live),
let's figure out other ways to solving problems. We can no longer turn our backs on humanity. We can no longer turn our backs on each other as human beings. We all inhabit the same earth, we all live under the same sun, moon, and stars. We all deserve equal rights and equal resources.

Hundreds of thousands of people die every day due to starvation, lack of shelter, preventable diseases, war, and other forms of violence. How can we let people starve when we have the resources to feed and shelter them right here on the earth??? This must not be allowed to go on any further, or the future of our world is very grim. The world ending in a nuclear war is a very possible thing.

Instead of supporting systems, like our economy, like our government, that are based on the idea of competition- running races and putting
each other down- taking advantage of others for profit- systems that create greed and corruption without fail- Let's create a system that encourages teamwork, rewards working together, leaves less people behind.

Our potential is endless. We are equipped with the most powerful tool in the universe, as far as we are concerned: the human mind, with
the un-ending ability to create. So let's GROW UP. Stop fighting with each other and work together. We could be so much more advanced technologically
than we are now. We could have the cure for cancer by now. If only we spent our time in those categories rather than fighting pointless wars and promoting false patriotism for a lost cause.

Patriotism is the same thing as blind submission. Having pride in a country that causes most of the violent conflicts in the world is not something I would be particularly proud of.



War is not natural. Violence and crime are not natural. Humans can exist peacefully if we just try. Stop telling yourself there will always be crime and war and violence and greed because there does not have to be.

It's time to move past the divisionary elements, the competition, the fighting, the greed and the powerful corrupt men ruling the world. We must outgrow these systems or I fear the worst for our world.

Please wake up. Spread this message. Help save the world.

I agree with you on the main subject man, but you can't say war and violence are not natural. We are animals. Animals have survival instincts. Just because we have the power of thought does not make us perfect beings.

^-----wow... this is a pretty lame way to look at things...i couldnt disagree more... to answer your question "you think the world could really be like this?"

ABSOLUTELY.



im not saying we are anywhere near peace on earth or ending world hunger...but to say it will NEVER happen is a bit ignorant... we definitely have the potential to do these things ..we just need to apply ourselves...things dont just change over night..it takes time...and although the OP's point of view is a bit optimistic and unlikely to change any worldly events at least he is aware of the situation and bringing attention to it in a positive manner..



weedmaster..before u get yer tidy whities all in a bunch...im not tryin to bust yer balls.. im just sayin u shouldnt give up on humanity so easily...just because most of the people in charge of the world are liars, thievs, and murderers doesnt mean we have to follow their example...if everyone in the world had your outlook on the way things are we would still be in medieval times....

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

yeah I agree, this is all just hippie talk and there's basically no way we can completely change into a peaceful world by just hippie talk alone. You're going to need some kind of major actions before the world wakes up and stops fighting and I doubt that will ever happen. At least, not in this lifetime.

Although this a pipe dream, I agree. It's been proven time and time again that collusion, working together instead of against each other brings more production and innovation. But overcoming those differences is easier said than done.

u hit people just to watch them bleed? oooook...well u will more than likely end up in prison or worse in the near future...so when u talk about "control" maybe u should practice a little more "self-control" before u hit the wrong person :) (just a thought)....


call it a dream world if u want...but if u told someone in the roman empire that one day we would be able to fly or drive a vehicle run on liquid they would probably punch u in the nose and call u a nut bag...where is the roman empire now? (think about that next time u wanna hit someone for no reason)

mankind has been evolving for over 300,000 years.. it used to be acceptable to rape women and kill people because u disagreed with them...fortunately for me and the rest of the human race the majority of us have learned from our ignorance and developed stronger morals and beliefs...i am a firm believer in treating others the way i would like to be treated... call me crazy but its not such a hard concept to grasp..

eventually we will learn from the mistakes we are making right now and improve the way we are living and treating others...its just a matter of time..



edit:

and weedmaster i hope u are wrong too...i find it hard to believe that we as a species are destined for failure..
