I'm almost finished with my Ultimate Plan for Peace (I know it's not ultimate, it just sounds catchy) and I really want to know who to send it to.
It directs the biggest problem we've yet faced - and that is a lack of love in this world. If people loved one another, people would not hold back on resources simply because they want a large price for it. People would not be indifferent about the suffering of others, however far away it is. People would work together, respect one another's opinions and beliefs, yet come together knowing we are united through our love for one another.
I know this is not practical, given all the political shpiel and issues, but I sincerely think if someone can strategically use these core values as a foundation to build a better government and better human functions, that it would really work in our favor in the long-run.
Only if by "love" you mean "sex" and if by "sex" you mean "beautiful women"
Well, no one has to understand my beliefs. But it would do you good to understand where I come from.
I believe Life, God, Mother, Father, Creator, etc. is in each and everyone of us, and everything. Therefore, we are One, but we are also Many. To do good to another is to do good for yourself, even if you don't see the effect of that action immediately.
So, I mean Love as in that which is enlightened.
I am putting these words to a sitar. Man, I thought George Harrison was dead.
Mockery is enjoyable. Continue.
Not mocking, not me. I am FEELING the love. All you need is Love. Love me do. Love is like oxygen. Love is a battlefield (well, maybe not that one). Anyway, love is like food. As a matter of fact Love and Lunch can be almost interchangeable. Yea, replace love with lunch in many songs and it works. all you need is LUNCH!!! see how easy. hari llama, hari hari, hari Krishna, hari Vishnu, hari har har.
Interesting.
Look, Mr. Spock. I expected just a little more than "interesting". i was hoping for a "Wow, it does work". Your whole outlook can change if you look at the world in terms of lunch, instead of love. You cannot feed the world on love, there is no sustenance to it. lunch IS all you need!!!!
Mm-hmm.
WOW you want only the IMPORTANT people. Your message of love is filled with hate. Will you accept semi-important?
OMG "important people"?? WE are all important people in this movement. Post it, nobody's stopping you. If it helps OUR country, then it will be.
I would never diminish the importance of an individual. But within the context of my words above, I meant the people who are directly in charge of the process of the solutions, or people who could do something with it other than read it.
And thank you. Sorry again.
FYI How do you know someone isn't reading these comments AND doing something "with it"? WE are all involved in the process of solutions. Again, if it helps OUR country, and OUR people...bring it out in the open. However, if you're only looking for something to hang your name on, then you might as well forget about it.
Apology accepted.
I actually don't care if I get credit for it or not. It has come to the point where I can't stand to see so much people suffer.
Thanks for the new view.
Welcome aboard, yasmine.
Those people, in a way, are us. If you post the ideas and it gains traction, someone will decide to bring it to the GA.
That's how things work, essentially. Should also explain the general sense of chaos and disorder.
Oh. Well, that helps alot. Thank you for your clarification. :) I look forward to the solutions we all can come up together.
I vote for Canadian adbuster organization. Without their initiative we would have not have been here.
The following people are making it successful.
Craig, Samantha, ryan, max, shawn all hundreds of others at NYC. Thanks guys.
Awesome, Thank you. I will look into that. And thanks to them too!
You are the most important person.
You could try this: OccupyWallSt
That's the username associated with the leadership of this site. It's a good place to start.
Another way is to get to the streets with peaceful protest, aiding your fellow protestors through exercise of these core values. Leadership by example. Best of luck and be safe.
Interesting. Okay, I will try to send it to that name. I have been going to the protests here in miami but it's very unsafe. People are exceptionally stupid in south florida and will use the movement as a means to committ crime.
Believe me, I understand. Prior to relocating to Oregon in '08, my family and I lived in Riviera Beach... just north of WPB. We saw first-hand the level of prejudice and ignorance running amok on the streets and in state and local politics.
You, like the NYC movement and the L.A. movement are considered as being on the front lines. NYC is dealing with a notoriously violent police force. L.A. and Miami have had a history of protests being hijacked by rioters, looters and, as you've posted, criminals.
It makes your intent toward peaceful demonstration the more difficult, which is why I offer "best of luck and be safe". However, it's going to take people like you with hope in humanity and unity to balance the streets.
As dangerous as it is, you are a necessary element to ensuring that the National Guard is not called in. You're essentially a peace keeper in a potential war zone... and it's an honor to meet you.
Thank you for your reply. I honestly have to say that I envy you. I love Oregon! It is such a beautiful place..the nature isn't fake like it is in Miami. I am so starved of that.
I will never succumb to the fear in humanity, and I wish you the best of luck as well.
Take care, brother or sister.
