so what is the dominant, unifying theme of America today?
what values do we actually uphold and say we are to the world?
once again the tale……
IQ45 lies and then double down on those lies…
he has negated multiple treaties with other countries,
organizations, institutions… thus he isn’t about the we,
he is about creating an us vs them mentality…
he has engaged in the nihilism of negating other people with
insults…lower them to being non-human… he has called
illegal aliens, subhuman, this negation of human beings isn’t
reaching to become a better human being…
he couldn’t care less about the lives of people…
his insults prove that… for they are about bringing
the insulted ones to becoming non-human… less then human
and not worth the effort to care about…
those are the values he has brought to the light…
and favored by 35% of the American people…
35% of America believes that other people are non-human,
are subhuman and they are part of the us vs them issue…
so, so how do we go from this vastly negative, animal
thinking about what it means to be human, to a viewpoint
that is about the higher values of being human, values of love
and peace and charity and hope and justice… values IQ45 has
dismissed and discouraged and devalued…
the declaration of Independence has stated as it central principle,
“all men are created equal”
to insult other human beings, to deny the very principle that
we have created in the United States:
“That all men/human beings are created equal”
to insult, to devalue human beings is to deny that very statement which
is the bedrock of the American experience… equality……
to say the black human being has less value then a white human being is
to deny them that very statement, “All men are created equal” ….
a denial I will not make… for I reach for the stars and in the stars,
“all human beings are created equal” as it is here on earth……
justice for all, equality for all, those are the exact same sentence in my mind…
to be just is to be equal…
we can rebuild the values of America to reach for our higher self,
not to go down to our animal self, but to reach for our human self…
but we got to become aware of our situation, both individually
and collectively……
you want to work toward world peace, you want to end poverty
in our time, do you want to have everyone live in peace and harmony?
goals that are, are reachable…we only have to begin the steps…
we live in a militaristic world because we choose to…
and we have the wrong understanding of what it means to be human…
if you want world peace, it is achievable… your first step and the most
important step is the one step you can make…
to know thyself… to examine yourself…
the path to world peace begins with your understanding of who you are…
every step toward peace begins with one person saying, these are my values,
love and peace and harmony and hope and justice…
and then the second person says, yes, you are right
and if you can get enough people to agree with you,
then we have peace and hope and justice and charity…
every step begins with an reevaluation of what it means to be human…
you want world peace, begin with you and what you believe in…
for those who claim that the human spirit is an ugly one, with
violence and anger and hate… those lost souls believe it because
they are about violence and anger and hate… it reflects in their
soul and that isn’t the human condition… the human condition is
what we decide upon and we create…
human nature isn’t fixed or set… it is something that we build
and work for and sometimes die for…we have control over
who we are… the denial of human freedom to create who you are
is the Machiavelli/GOP vision of what it means to be human…
a leopard cannot change it spots and man cannot change his
nature of violence and hate and despair…
but we can change… we have proved it by going from animal
to animal/human… we are, in values, human beings…
we are in our basic bodily needs animals…
I choose to rise up and become human…
these believers in Machiavelli believe in us being animals
and not being able to do anything about that…
but we change, every single day we change…
we grow from baby to toddler to pre-teen to teenager
to young adult to adult and middle ages to senior citizen
to old age and then our final change is death…
my values that I hold today are vastly different then the values
I held as a child or as a young adult or even in middle ages…
if I am unable to change as an adult then Machiavelli is right,
but we see those changes every single day in others and in us…
I am not who I was… and this very fact disproves Machiavelli
and the GOP…I can change, I can adapt, I can become…
and this means we are adaptable and changeable and not fixed
or set…we are leopards who change our spots… we prove this
every single day…our children prove this…my daughter isn’t who
she was when she was young… she changed…and you change…
we are a species that changes… that might be a working definition of
what it means to be human… we change……
and what change do you want to make?
do you want to become more human or less?
to find world peace… simple begins with you understanding
who you are and then working toward becoming who you are…
all is achievable… the end of poverty, the end of war, the end of
the insults and inhuman treatment of other human beings…
all that is needed is you… and your beginning the process
of becoming who you are… going from animal to animal/human
to becoming human, fully human…
