When we say there will be a price to pay, what we are saying
is that there will be a consequence for our actions, individually and globally.
Unfortunately, we are not taught this in a direct and common sensical way
within our youth, yes it is spoken, but it is hardly ever lived. We see the
forest being cut down, the people starving in pictures, the women being stoned,
the animals with there tusks cut off, over and over and over again we see the horror of this world, but we
don’t have any real recognition that this is our consequence, this is real, and
this is what we have to face sooner now more then ever. So we follow suit like
everyone else in this world, no action, no plan, feeling powerless, and the
consequence of these inactions currently is a decaying environment, destructive
people, disregard for animal and plant life, and a ruthless existence. We have
made the very life that is here, that we need to survive on this planet a
commodity, to be harnessed, used, and sold for a piece of paper, no matter the
consequential effects it will have on life as we know it and this not in a
positive way.
Today, I have read some disturbing stories of consequence,
the death of 37 million bees in Canada, “Shortly
after 50,000 bees were found dead in an Oregon parking lot (read more here),
a staggering 37 million bees have been found dead in Elmwood, Ontario, Canada.
Dave Schuit, who runs a honey operation in Elmwood has lost 600 hives. He is
pointing the finger at the insecticides known as neonicotinoids, which are
manufactured by Bayer CropScience Inc. This also comes after a recent report
released by the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) that recorded its largest
loss of honeybees ever.” (Source: http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/07/01/over-30-million-bees-found-dead-in-elmwood-canada/)
Also, there was a story of a famous clothes brand in
America, contaminating and destroying an Indonesia waterway due to their
chemical dyes for clothes, “Gap’s latest
advertising campaign declares that we should ‘Be Bright,’ but by collaborating
with toxic suppliers Gap’s clothes are turning the Citarum into a multicoloured
mess," says Ashov Birry, a toxic-free water campaigner for Greenpeace
Southeast Asia, in a statement. "Gap and other big brands need to work
with their suppliers in Indonesia and elsewhere to urgently eliminate all uses
of hazardous chemicals from their supply chains and products before it is too
late." (Source: http://www.ecouterre.com/gap-banana-republic-old-navy-linked-to-toxic-river-pollution-in-indonesia/greenpeace-river-pollution-west-java-2/?extend=1)
These two examples are just a few of the millions of stories
we can gather of this simple principle of ‘do
onto others as you would do to yourself’ not being followed, and yes, we
currently live in this world and need to survive, buy stuff, and eat for
instance, but the exponential abuse is due to exponential consumerism, we don’t
need in anyway all the waste stuff we are creating and increasingly we are using
more and more of the earths resources destructively to get them. We as the
consumer are creating these very consequential outflows, that eventually will come to bite us in our asses. I mean it already has, if the bees dying off
in the millions is not a huge red flag then I don’t know what is.
There are solutions here, please investigate the Equal LifeFoundation’s Bill of Rights and the Basic Income Guarantee, which will create
the starting point platform for the change that is so desperately needed. This
change is the change of our intent in this world from greed and profit to
caring for others and supporting others equal to yourself, always considering
the other equal to you. The point we have to get to is to understand and live
an equality with life, with our environment, with the animals, with nature,
with each other, and within this world system. We are living in a closed
system meaning if one suffer we all suffer, and it will be a slow but certain point of death for us all if we don’t get a
handle on what we are doing, what we are consuming, what we are taking, and
who we are effecting. It’s a self process of realizing a stability within self
and a will to direct self in what is best for all, this is based on and lived within equality and oneness. We have to change the within of ourselves to change the without of this world, it always start with who we are to determine what we will live. Study the
links and comment with any questions or feedback, it’s time for a change and The basic income guarantee is a practical step forward.
