Want to know how I plan to save the world?
Well, I'm not.
Not your world, anyway. It's too late for that. It's beyond my scope.
The social and political climate of our society is reaching a boiling point. The oppressed dystopian reality that science fiction has warned us of for decades is becoming reality.
There is a war being fought behind the scenes over you.
What you can say, do, think, and where you can go are soon to be monitored, watched, and decided by a faceless panel of wealthy politicians.
Control of your own body is even at stake. Control over who you are allowed to love is being revoked. Control over who you are and what you believe are soon to be taken from you.
Masses of people cling to an ancient mythologies and try to make relevant, informed decisions in modern society based on a 2,000 year old book, all of its antiquated prejudices included.
People kill each other, destroy our planet, spew hatred at one another, and build walls to separate us, all in the name of money and power.
This world is becoming a reality, and unless the collective masses rise up in revolt against the tyranny, it will continue to do so.
But this is the state of OUR world. The world our parents and grandparents have left us. The world that we are slowly learning we need to break up with. A lot has changed for the better since I was born in late 1982, but a lot is still the same.
One thing for sure, though, is that it will be a very different world for my daughters as well when they turn 18 in the year 2032.
What social, economic and political issues will they be facing then? I am hopeful that we will be a more mature race by that time, having put all of the racial, religious, sexual and cultural prejudices behind.
But how will I change the world for them?
I may be disgruntled and dissident about my world that has been, but that won't help my daughters in their world to come.
My plan is to fill their heads with so much compassion, love, kindness and respect that no government, corporation or god will be able to leech it out of them.
To light a fire of passion in them for all humans, so that any injustice to one is an injustice to all. A passion for the earth and it's bountiful yet fragile beauty.
I will instill in them the seeds of logic, of reasoning, and of truth.
They will hear the echoes of my voice in their ear saying:
No government, nor man or woman, nor any signed piece of legislature has control over you or your body. No company or product has any control of how you feel about yourself.
You decide who and what you are, no one else has the authority.
We all depend on this "pale blue dot" floating in space, and everything we do should respect and nourish it, as it does us.
Fear has no power outside of that which you give it. Authority will always use fear to try to control you.
Dissent is ALWAYS better than blind obedience.
Question everything and everyone. If something feels wrong or hurtful to someone, it is.
The people you love and receive love from are for your to choose, not anyone else's, regardless of their opinion.
There are too many beautiful people in the world to worry about the ugly ones. They will only worry about themselves anyway.
You are pure love.
You are pure energy.
You are pure beauty in form.
You will not be overcome by hate.
You have a voice, and if you choose, people will listen.
You are the most powerful force in the world.
I love you.
