We all know WHY the nation is upset. However few if any really understand how this nation got to the place it is now.

Blame the government? The government is composed of the people! Blame the corporations? Again the corporations are composed of the people! So fundamentally if the government is sick, it means that the men and women that compose the nation are as a whole sick.

I am not saying this to all of you to be insulting. What I am saying is that the sickness is us. We as a nation lack focus, goal and purpose. In the absence of this we have created a hungry void. The wealthy 1% sucking more and more of the wealth for themselves is just a symptom of the lack of purpose. In the absence of purpose a nation seeks self gratification, moral grounds erode and eventually men are eating each other and the poor quite literally pay for the education of the wealthy.

If all you do is march and protest in the streets as you are doing now you will find yourselves no better off. A future for this nation, and yourselves begins with the seed of hope. Not the seed of “I will change the government to fix everything for me!” but the seed of “I can do anything!” the seed within your own heart that puts pressure on you and drives you foreward.

I ask you, are all of you going to march in the streets saying “I am here because the world will not let me suceed” or are you going to dedicate to a purpose of your own vision of success? Do any of you actually have a vision of your own success? Or are you merely angry and venting with a large mob? If so, then you do not posess the seed of hope and this nation is doomed to poverty. Create a goal, and find purpose! As of now, all you are accomplishing is blaming failure on the world.

My name is Isaac. I aspire to become the greatest mechanical engineer I can be and make wonderfull machines to inspire an ailing nation. What is your aspiration? What is your purpose? Does this movement of yours even have a real goal?

Also, This nation almost collapsed once because of lack of structure after the revolution, we DO NOT need another revolution with no clear idea of how things should work afterwords.
