RE: How the DIY Mentality Can Fix The World
Taking responsibility for ones actions and admitting to ones faults with the intention to "fix them" is what is lacking in this world.
No "hand outs" shall ever fix that.
So you have hit the nail on the head, but you have said it all in such a nice way that those who recognize themselves as being part of the problem don't feel bad about it.
You should consider a career in politics!
Although I wouldn't wish that upon anyone, let alone you, but you do have a knack for "being nice" even when it concerns those who haven't deserved it!
;)
Great read mate and definitely agree with it.
You said it wonderfully:
We are to eager to pin the blame on someone, rather than accept our own responsibilities. We are all guilty of that at some time or another. However, only some will choose to see it that way. Doesn't make it any less true. It is up to all of us, not just the 'smiling glad-hands'.
I see people divide themselves and push blame around the table like politicians running for office. People are shamed over words as if they were violent acts and it seems the human race is still unready to accept that we have created all of this. It wasn't just politics, it was all of us.
I may be an asshole at times, but I still realize kindness to be a great way to encourage people. Even bad people are capable of doing good things. Every open mind has the ability to change. It's when we close it off is when we get in deep water. Being dynamic, not static, is the way to meaningful change for the human race.
Voting for one side or another is refusing reality; the reality is they are one in the same. Many of us are well aware, but we often forget that WE ARE THE PEOPLE.
We all are part of the problem, that is entirely true. However, we should feel damn good about being alive, at a time where we are more able to fix our problems than ever before.
You're a large inspiration for my writing this, Jack. The things that we can do, right now, can change tomorrow in ways we can only imagine today. And you know as well as I that when people connect to reach greater goals = progress follows. 😉 Thanks Jack!!
