When you take a moment and look around at the world, things can seem pretty messed up. Take 5 or 10 minutes and watch the 6 o'clock news.
Chances are, the entire time, all you are going to see is war, conflict, death, illness, etc.
Sure, this is part of the mainstream media's content strategy to sell drama and keep people focused on it, but besides that, it reveals something real about the current state of our world.
I believe Michael Ellner said it well in his quote:
"Just look at us. Everything is backwards, everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth, major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom."
Now obviously Ellner's quote is a simplified way of looking at our current state, but in many ways it's bang on.
Most of what we do in the name of "good" ends up destroying something else in the process and is passed off mainly in the name of profit.
We've seen over and over again how our ways have brought us to a point where we are destroying everything in our path, so the question must be asked, isn't it time for change?
Do you love your job?
Are you caught up in the Society Trap' ? Things don't have to be the way they are. It's up to us to change the way we live.
Don't be part of a machine, be unique and express yourself as an individual.
Are we fully capable, honest, and determined enough to look at our past, where our actions and thought-patterns have brought us to this point, and now do something completely different in order to restore balance?
The people over at
