ROAD TO FREEDOM (SERIES) #3 - WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO CHANGE THE WORLD?
Most of the people think to change the world we must change our political and economic systems. Don't get me wrong, they are right because this situation right now isn't sustainable. It is not normal that small percentage of people thru political and economic manipulation controls most of the people. What I'm asking is...what then when we change our system to some other -ism ? Is that the moment when things will change by it self? No, it is not.
We can set up this and that system, it will never work if we don't change. We can set up the most perfect system, it will never work if we don't start to love and respect each other. It will never work if people's perception is coming from ego and they are only looking how can they take more for themselves. If we don't change our perception of self and world, no type of system can help us.
Imagine utopian society. Would that society be possible if people living in that society don't love and respect each other? No it woudn't. What that tell us?...It is not about the system, it's about people making that system possible by loving and respecting each other. From that love and respect everything else came (houses for everybody, no poverty, abundance of food for everyone etc.) People acting like that can't build system that is not in coherence with their inner state.
It is not about changing the system, it is about changing ourselves. We can continue to sugest some other -ism, but that can't change anything if we don't start to love and respect each other. From that love and respect the most brilliant system will evolve...
I know this sound like some New Age mantra, but there can't be change outside before changing from inside. So above so below.

Yes it's about people. I have heard that actually the resources of the world have already been enough to suggest all human being without working. It's because still some people controling the supply and demand. If human really can love each other one day, we may build a better world that we don't need to work for money and work for living any more.
Agree 100% We all can live with no big effort or problems already. Elites are controling our perception, that is only reason situation on this planet is what it is.
agreed 100%! good post
I think we could use a day off like a WHOLE EARTH DAY where we keep just the basic things running and everyone is free to create and/or support ideas to bring people together and dismantle old cultural beliefs and hatreds.
Why not infinity?
doable but requires critical mass currently unachievable due to momentum, scarcity mentality and puppet masters on a power binge.
We shoudn't care about it, we are always more powerful...
