Establish Community Recovery Centres to Help the addicted, destitute, and disadvantaged.

Change Matters - The Social Unity Campaign.

'Our watch word is liberty, we will, we will, we will be free.'

The Tolpuddle Martyrs 

I have long hoped that there would be change in our society. Change for what I perceive to be a better more tolerant society. One where all people are treated equally, but for this to arise we must consider where our troubles lie. We offend the offended, intern the interned, imprison the imprisoned. 

Pleading for help comes in many forms and people show their distress and anxiety in many ways.

As someone who has worked among the homeless and those with emergency housing needs I know that an individual's issues run deep. And yet the way we deal with such issues does not resolve the problems people are confronted with, nor prevent them from heading down a path of self-destruction, as their issues are not dealt with appropriately. 

The reason for this is that an abused mind knows torment and chaos and unless treated correctly will spiral out of control. People think they know this, and worse still, they believe they understand this. 

Treating an individual's problem is far better than treating them as though they are the problem.

By helping people recover their dignity you help society, by leaving them to suffer you increase the suffering in society. If the body is infected you would spend time to find out the problem and cure it, you would not let it fester so the disease spreads to other parts of the body. That in principle is what societies do; they still view certain people as though they are unclean and treat them in a manner more befitting the ancient use of the ostracon. 

People with the ability to introduce real change talk as though the institutions are in place to help those through their troubled times, and there are some real and genuine heroes out there who are swamped by the task they face. Unfortunately if society were a house then as most people are aware, treating cracks in a superficial manner does not prevent the house that is subsiding from collapsing. 

And throwing money at a problem that involves genuine human issues does not resolve those issues. 

Everyone is important and has value, no matter what their station or circumstance in life. That is why to have true progress in getting disadvantaged people out of the quicksand and mire of despair they find themselves in needs an understanding of their emotional and physical problems. It needs specific mentoring for specific problems, imagine a healer, when healing the body they would not heal that part of the body that is well but direct themselves only to the part that is sick. 

We must concentrate and focus on the illness. When the body is sick we treat it until it has recovered, and yet with society we do the opposite; we feed those parts of us that are already well nourished, and starve those that are already starved. 

It is time to heal our society so that there is no longer inequality, injustice and unaccountability. People require proper mentoring so that they can fulfil their potential, and for this to occur they need to be given hope; one that says that there is a future worth having and worth living for.

The Requirement for appropriate Mentoring, Guidance and a Community invested in its society. 

People talk of life choices as though such words are the answer to an individual's behaviour. People that make the wrong choice usually do so due to their circumstance, and have often suffered some duress which has incarcerated their minds. Have you ever asked yourselves why there are more people with mental health issues today than ever before? And heard the answer that we lead more stressful lives than ever before; this is only partly the case, individuals are more isolated than ever before, and more inward looking, so much so that they blame others for their circumstance, and this is done to such an extent that we have lost our sense of community. 

And care in the community though a noble idea has been unsuccessful in dealing with the vast number of people that need help. Our communities feel more separated from each other and not part of one another than ever before in their history. 

And because we live with social groups within social groups, when people with real issues make mistakes; the answer society comes up with is to imprison them. We in principle confine those that are caged within the torment of their own minds. The result of this causes the individual to become more uncontrollable and more rebellious. 

People are often surprised by the lack of self-discipline and respect others have.

If an individual is brought up by authority figures, whether they are their parents or someone who they have met in social care, and those people have treated them harshly then they associate all authority figures they meet after with being unjust, as the injustices they suffered from childhood are held deep within their psyche and will affect their attitude later in life. 

If there is no justice or compassion in the home when growing up, then it is logical that those that were treated harshly will not show compassion or reason when their characters have formed, but behave in a fractious, seditious, and disloyal manner to other authority figures. They will give their loyalty to whatever subgroup they attach themselves to within their smaller society. 

Proposal 

Our aim is to make a better life not just for one of these individuals but for many such persons who feel isolated and disconnected from our society. To do this we need to create a more social, inclusive and productive society which takes the best of what we can be and turns it toward the benefit of all. We need to create centres where people can find sanctuary, can recover their community spirit and self-worth, as in principle what they are suffering is in principle a form of post-traumatic stress disorder.

To help their recovery we must establish real Community Recovery Centres.

We need people to believe that they are a part of society and not apart from society. 

There are certain things young socially deprived people can do such as apprenticeships, or persevering in education to become part of a more inclusive society. Unfortunately too many have their strength and courage crushed from a young age, so much so that they do not believe the things they can achieve are attainable. 

Solutions to these problems 

The right mentoring, and the opening up of institutions that are proper retreats for people in genuine need of care, where they can meet the appropriate guides, tutors and teaches to show and support their learning of a trade that will sustain them for the future, and where they can meet with the necessary doctors, nurses, psychologists, to help with their more personal and psychological needs. This will give those who have had hard and difficult lives real hope for a better and brighter future free from the disadvantages and the chaos they were caught or grew up in.

We must enable people to learn trades or have an education that will help them have happy and fulfilled lives this will require empathy as we shall treat people on an individual basis and get to the core issues that made them what they are. 

We shall encourage life skills and social skills, to give people the opportunity to create a work life environment conducive to productivity and an individual's life balance. 

The leap forward and the vision for what can be done

Each settlement must be self-sufficient. We shall use the most sustainable techniques available so that what is put in place is there for generations to come.

Our settlements shall be known as Community Recovery Centres and they will span the length and breadth of the United Kingdom. They will enable the weak, vulnerable and destitute to recover from the physical and mental challenges that they have grown up with.

They shall be places of hope and charity, calm and refuge. Where people can shed the problems and troubles that have hindered their growth and potential.

These centres shall be places where people can learn a new trade and be part of a caring open community where the fundamentals of integrity and hope are nurtured, and where the destitute and deprived may rise to fulfil their potential. 

I hope you will realise this vision with me and put your name to a petition that sets out the need for such Community Recovery Centres which use genuine modern methods to help people out of adversity. 

Founder of the Social Unity Campaign - David Papa-Adams 

Any petition that has 100,000 signatories will be set before Parliament so let us all be invested in change, and hope for our society and our future. 

Please sign the Petition 

We the undersigned to make a more equitable and just society wish to participate in and promote Community Recovery Centres. To give a future to those who are destitute and poor. A future free from vice and hate by providing hope and charity to those that need it most.

David Papa-Adams Theory of Diminished Social Behaviour and the Omnipresent Social Memory

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42bssE-X2B4

This Video is about the Human condition and explains why people behave the way they do. It is designed to empower people not to be afraid of life, and to give them Hope, Love and Courage as it shows how we are all connected and how we can all build a better, brighter and happier future.

It was inspired by the words of Jesus on the Cross 'Forgive them father they know not what they do.' I asked myself how is it that people do not understand the effect their own actions can have; and then I had an epiphany, it is because people believe they are in control, when they are not, they are governed by what I have referred to as the Greater Brain, which Directs their social behaviour. And the real answer is that people do not have free will.

I ask that people do not judge one another even though we are born to be subject to the need to condemn each other, so that even though we are all connected and part of the great family of humanity, we become insular and look inward instead of seeing the greater world that surrounds us and realising we are all important parts of it.

How much do we see and know of the World around us. This beautiful plain that can be so welcoming and yet is often treacherous. There is no need for so much earthly hate and yet their is a need for love, compassion and mercy.

Valour of the Spirit People

This is an indie novel I wrote.  It tells the story of a war that occurred in Turtle Island before the time of Columbus.  The reasons for the battles that ensue are both intriguing and horrifying for the reader.  The Characters are as mighty as the deeds they accomplish but great also are their adversaries.  And in the end you are required to ask yourself the question, where does good end and evil begin!?!

Angels Demons and the Djinn

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsr5XGgKp5U

Please see my youtube talk on - Angels Demons and the Djinn.  Ask yourself what world are we living in. Is it one dominated by those that are willing to care for you and help you grow as an individual, or is it a restricting, suffocating, frustrating place where dreams are stifled and ambition is prohibited except for the chosen few.

The truth is anyone can achieve anything, but first they must believe they are able, rather than what they are more often than not taught by others to be, which is incapable.

When researching this particular subject I had many people obstruct me when I sought their opinions.

Also I found many people that were helpful and encouraging, and for that I would like to thank them, a special thanks goes out to a local Priest and Rabbi for their assistance, understanding and openness on this particular subject.

Such a topic as this needs to be discussed as it still has a bearing and influence on peoples lives. The question I really ask people is how do they view themselves.  Remember - if people stare in the mirror and they do not like what they see, they often then blame the person that made them look, rather than themselves.  By doing this they cannot grow but are bound to repeat their mistakes.

People often look to the past for answers but are then drawn backward rather than what they should be doing, which is to keep on moving forward.  Yes, use the past to learn from, but don't get stuck there, as you may one day realise that you spent so much time looking back that you neglected the future that lay in front of you.

Rise Above

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnqPFR-Va2s

Poem - We must rise above the bitterness people place in our hearts. And though this is difficult and to some people the torment runs deep through years of relentless pain felt. There is Love in the World that if you seek it out you will find it. And though you may go through life being lied to and lied about you should not give in to lies. People believe the malice and hate they hear of others only because it reinforces the prejudices they already have and to believe the weaknesses of another helps them feel strong. But I say to diminsh anyone is to diminsh yourself and the bitterness callously caused in others drowns the perpetrators of it in the end. So Love one another as you would wish to be loved and do not demean isolate or ostracise for such acts as these harm us all. There must always be room for compassion understanding and hope. Big Love David xx

Holocaust

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ljEgGxN-4s&feature=plcp

This is the sad truth of humanity. Mankind should speak truths not lies; seek love and hope not be willing to despise and hate; at the heart of all men should be peace not war. There should not be a desire for others to fail which is shown in the way people denounce one another. In how people are jealous of others and are willing to judge on impulse without knowledge or understanding. There should always be room for LOVE!!!

Who mourns for Heron of Alexandria?

Who mourns for Heron of Alexandria?



Image of Heron of Alexandria taken from Wikipedia



His Steam Device picture from Wikipedia

People have often said that we use only a fraction of our brains this only goes to show the limited understanding that humanity has of nature. They refer to the Appendix as an appendage that has no purpose and exists as redundant material that once had a use but is now superfluous. Once more there is no surprise that with this thinking the popular idea occurred that we use only 10% of our brains. This idea seems to be widely accepted throughout many societies. Although science has proven that this is nothing more than a myth. The “10% myth” is so wrong it is almost laughable says neurologist Barry Gordon, at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Scientific American, February 7^th 2008. The Myth still exists to this day.

So why is there such a lack of understanding as to how nature works?

It starts with the way Humanity perceives the world within which it lives. It is as if he is a man that sees the sea and does not look below it and in his belief that there is a solid mass in front of him tries to walk on water only to find that he sinks beneath to its depths. So why cannot a being as capable as humanity not have a truer understanding of his environs?

“One small step for man one giant leap for mankind” Neil Armstrong on stepping foot on the moon.
So often man takes small steps not realising that he is more than able to take giant leaps. Humanities understanding of his world is an example of this.

But this does not mean that we are a species in decline it just asserts the fact that over many years and centuries we have not educated ourselves to be as creative as we should be. At different intervals through the centuries from the beginnings of recorded history to modern day humanity has shown that such a being does not appreciate the true extent of its abilities and so those abilities remain latent and unused.

When Heron of Alexandria a Mathematician in the 1^st century of the 1^st millennium a.d. invented what was an aeolipile a steam-powered device. It was an incredible leap forward, especially if he had been its original designer, though there are those that believe such an idea came from an earlier time. If Heron had also developed pistons to his machine he would have created the first truly powered steam engine almost 2000 years before the industrial revolution began.

Is it too difficult to imagine that someone as intelligent as Heron did not realise the potential uses of and power of steam not to make what would have been a leap of monumental proportions. People have often sited that at the time such a development was unnecessary, as that society used slaves to do the tasks required; but anyone who understands science realises that this laboured reasoning is out of context with the mind of someone like Heron. Curiosity would have driven him to experiment further to realise the potential of his device. So why then did he not proceed to what would have been a logical conclusion? Who was it or what was it that prevented him from such an advancement?

One logical answer is that he thought there was no further potential for the device and that he had taken it to its final conclusion. I discount this attitude as I feel that someone such as Heron with an imagination as rich, varied and productive as his would have perceived that further advances from his machine were capable.

Perhaps Heron was negatively influenced by those who harboured a jealous resentment for his brilliance that he never drove other ideas forward. Jealous pride has curtailed many an advancement in history.

So how does this tie in with my initial thought, that of the myth that we use only 10% of our brain. It is to show how humanity need not take small steps but can take giant leaps that enables him to evolve to a higher level. That certain beliefs are untrue and are only adhered to because of a lack of understanding.

The truth of my analogy is this; there have been many occasions when humanity has merely seen the surface of the sea and thought it to be land to walk upon where man has not seen or realised what are obvious truths.

People have an understanding that so much is achieved by a step by step process that the giant leap is not often taken because it is believed not to exist. In fact it is almost encouraged not to exist through a mixture of wrong thought and corrupt ideology that ideology of wanting to see others fail.

How many times have people felt provoked to diminish others out of jealousy, pride and pure narcissism. How many times have you heard the cliché ‘you, you can’t do that.’ And yet all around people are capable but are led to believe that they are not.

We live in a world and a society that enjoys ‘dumbing down’ the individual to what is a level of submissiveness so that they become nothing more than institutionalised slaves or slaves to their social group. Whether that is through the worship of celebrities or through a misguided belief in figures who have been afforded power and authority; not through their knowledge and wisdom but through the fortune or misfortune of being born to it.

The hypocrisy that has prevented so much good from occurring has evidently been around for thousands of years.

Look around and you will see there are so many struggling to do right for their community but are held back from doing so as they believe they are incapable. People are so used to diminishing people whether from an underprivileged environment or not that in their jealousy and pride they will often say that others do not have the ability to be creative when in reality they are saying that others do not have the right to be more creative than they are. This again is offensive and is a form of bigotry that has been ongoing for thousands of years. In the case of Jesus “Nazareth can anything good come from there.” John 1 v46. Such ideas as believing people are not capable because of their history are as rampant today as they ever were.

Perhaps someone turned to Heron and said of his device; why don’t you build something useful instead; and being discouraged, simply put down his mechanism and got on with something else. Or perhaps they saw its potential and persuaded him to stop working on it so that they might devise something themselves but where he was capable they proved incapable. And that jealous pride prevented humanity taking that leap forward. And if Heron had been disgruntled for not being aloud to proceed with his experiment he would have been ridiculed for his behaviour.

Usually people lay the claim on those who are unsatisfied with their lot that they have ‘a chip on their shoulder;’ or that they are just ‘bitter twisted’ individuals. Well of course they are resentful such people have been unjustly and mercilessly treated by those who are the first to complain should they have been treated similarly.

People cover up their hate of others by charging them with being the cause of it. Exceptional people do not have to be few and far between people can be nurtured to become extraordinary and one day society will realise that it has missed so much and been content with so little. An orchard is not an orchard if only one or two trees are able to grow fruit in it.

So why is creativity limited?

It is the environment; media, social groups, etc people grow up in. I cannot abide the cheapness of hate and the great expense given to love; by that I mean I cannot abide the way people are willing to hate each other quite freely without even realising it, and keep love only to themselves; this thinking is quite bizarre.

If people would just love others the way they would wish to be loved what a difference there would be. If you were compassionate instead of dispassionate, if you were merciful instead of merciless and if you wished the best for others instead of hoping they would fail then we would face a different world.

The question to ask is; what can be achieved with just a little more understanding of the world we live in? So let me illuminate you with another thought, people invest so much time in hating others that humanity has missed great opportunities. Opportunities that could have propelled him forward to such places that are still only of the imagination but if people are willing to come together monumental achievements can still be made; it just takes a simple belief. You can make a better society a better community if you are willing to believe in unity, in encouraging one another.

If you do not believe how difficult this task of unity is then ask yourselves how many times a day you judge others and are judged by others probably too many; in a world that should be by now tolerant understanding and elevated there is still too much condemnation, too much bitterness, too much selfishness where there should be love.

I would now like to take you back to the myth where people thought only 10% of the brain is being used. And that there is a lack of understanding of how nature works. Once more let me illuminate you with an idea about how nature works. This is my theory and should not be taken as fact. There is something that I have called a generational memory, an almost generational brain you can see it in nature, when ants cross a river they build a bridge from their bodies; when monkeys use tools they are taught to use them, perhaps this can be applied further; when plants and animals develop natural defences, natural toxins they are past down through adaptation and through the generational memory - the generational brain of the animal or vegetable. In the same way humanities brain has the capability of storing up generational information not just characteristics as held within its DNA, but stored memories held within the subconscious mind that might be buried deep within that only surface when they are triggered. The human brain may be the keeper of generational memories. Since all are connected it becomes possible then for any to be a genius like Heron.

That is why I ask who mourns for Heron of Alexandria because since that time, there have been many people like Heron who had the ability to take that leap forward but were discouraged from doing so.

There is an entire social group who being uncared for since birth have never known the goodness of life. They do not know love and feel anger resentment and bitterness and they do not understand themselves or why they are so alienated from society. And society all societies everywhere are inhibited not understanding the need for compassion and love that these groups and within them individuals need and it is for this reason such groups and people remain isolated. There is a greater need today for love than ever before so I have one thing to say to you Love others the way you would wish to be loved by others xx

Will You Dare To Dream 

We live in an age where only a small number are educated to a higher degree

That is a waist, a waist of human potential, each and everyone of you are capable powerful spiritually impregnable but you do not see it. Instead there is a large majority who in their rush to be the highest are willing to stoop to the lowest. Instead of encouraging exalting promoting one another you promote yourself and those close too. And those called strangers you treat as alien as though they are disconnected to you. The world does not turn by the few but by the many. The more educated a society the more that civilisation becomes a greater more unified nation; only states in their infancy cannot realise the benefit of mass opportunity. If you allow a few to control the desires of the many, then the many become fractious, combustible this has been proven throughout history and should have been a lesson learned. When the pyramids were raised they were raised by the many but who took credit for them do you hear people praise Egypt or the Pharaoh Khufu and throughout history people rather than nations or states are revered; would you hear of Rome without Caesar or of Greece without Alexander, Achilles, Agamemnon. Would you here of Britain without Shakespeare, Newton, Churchill. It is through great individuals that great societies are made your society needs you. You who others have made small are not small but mighty indeed. You can achieve dreams imaginings beyond what you or others perceive of you. First you must believe and not let discontent for what you were made into reign over you. Instead strive in the arts, in education, in the sciences, to build a better world not just for yourself for everyone. Let me enlighten, illuminate elevate you so that which has been kept from you is kept from you no longer. You can be an achiever without deception or intrigue you can accomplish most anything. Become the next Leonardo De Vinci, Michael Angelo, William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Sir Tim Berners-Lee; the list is immense as are you; it is a grave misfortune that others instead of making you capable try to make you incapable. Every time someone diminishes you they are acting not for the good of the community but for their own personal self-interest and until such people realise the damage they cause their society they will always bring that society down. This often occurs in the home where those that have the authority to make a better individual serve up a platter of malcontent. There should be within every social group self-belief self-confidence self-determination. This is a modern forward looking world not a backward one. At this time societies should not be judgemental, intolerant, disunited. We are all connected one to the other. You are part of a universe of wonders and you are a wonder in that universe. You could be the person that cures cancer. You could be the greatest artist philosopher writer there has ever been. There is a creator in everyone but you must believe through the trials the adversities the failures that in the end you shall succeed. I believe in you, I believe you can make a better world. The world is less without your efforts. You have touched a Titan and you can reach farther still. You just have to understand that all those people that achieved greatness had a connection to you. And you have a connection to them. All things are built through dreams, and though people say do not make dreams your master or do not deal in dreams everything that has been conceived was a dream achieved. So be elevated illuminated inspired.

Thank you for listening.

Elitism or Love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q3w4Qk6RjA&feature=plcp

Elitism or Love asks the question are you an Elitist.  In principle any that have their own personal agenda are behaving in an elitist manner.  For what are elites, but closed shops that cater for only the priviledged few.  They are not so secret societies where people conspire for reasons of self-interest.   They can be found in your own home or even your neighbours.  So the question is do people really dislike an elitist society because they are not a part of it?  Or do they dislike it for how primitive it truly is?  You need to ask yourselves why and who have you closed your doors to recently, and whether or not you closed those doors as an act of elitism? Do people live in Elites out of Love or because of a lack of it?

Your Society Needs You

Your Society Needs You

　

So how is it that in our world to this day we have not achieved the things in life that there should be, why is there no world peace? Why has humanity not cured cancer? Why can we not send ourselves to the most distant galaxies? And why oh why is there so much anger in the world?

I have in previous blogs spoken of Dark Energy feeders and the Greater Brain; and how social groups and certain people, even some societies, have a negative effect on the beliefs of the individual. And in my Social theory ’The theory of Diminished Social Behaviour and The Omnipresent Social Memory’ I showed how the negative effects of social interaction on what I refer to as the omnipresent social memory of the individual has diminished humanity to such an extent as to make the individual incapable instead of capable.

So why does this occur?

We have currently in our world educated to a certain degree, which is also considered to a high level, only the smallest fraction of our population. Educated them in what are considered the best schools, the best colleges, the best universities. And we have seen and shown through my theory that such people are also undeniably still governed by their Omnipresent Social Memories. And why can I say that with such surety of notion; the simple answer is that we still have so much self-interest in the world today, so much insular thinking, such a lack of communication between different individuals and nations and to this day those who have the power to make a better world, a better present, a better future, a better life seem to find themselves bound to old cultural ties that inhibits their growth and the growth of the world. Humanity is so reliant on historical traditions that have acted to deter society from moving forward, that its as if we peer into the night and are afraid of what we might find in the dark instead of what we should be which are the children that stare up at the stars in wonder and awe.

So why have we become the children that stare out of the bedroom window at the fog and are fearful of what might be hiding therein? And how can we change the world without dictating to people how they should behave?

The first thing to do is to understand that humanity has not begun to fulfil its potential. How can any society achieve its highest point when only a very small fraction within it, is educated to what is considered a high level of traditional thinking patterns, and those levels do not fully explore and challenge the creative human intellect. The fact that Leonardo de Vinci or William Shakespeare are uncommon instead of being common is a prime example of our cultural heritage where only a very few are given the environment to fulfil their potential and it is debateable whether they truly fulfilled that potential or whether or not they could have become much more.

Therefore, people need to be elevated, empowered, intellectualised, inspired. They need to begin to believe the impossible can be possible and that aspiration and dreaming can be one and the same thing if used as tools for the positive.

I recall that at my first career interview at sixteen when asked what I would like to become; the interviewer said of my idea of becoming an estate agent that I would be better off working in a factory and that that should be the height of my ambition. This I admit was some years ago but my observations of society today shows me that nothing has changed.

Your life still depends on the type of education you have had or rather you haven’t had, and more important than that education are the type of individuals that such a privileged private or public education enables you to encounter. Other factors of importance are the environment you were brought up in; your relationship between the authority figures at home and abroad and the way you react to the guidance and protocols received and formed from the close relationship or lack of it from family, friends and society.

The guidance received may have a detrimental effect that drives the individual down the wrong path and because of the normalisation of those negative surroundings, they become unaware that their behaviour has become antisocial.

We still live in a world where it is not what you know but who you know that dictates whether your life will be an easy one where doors are opened for you or a struggle where those doors are closed.

And this indicates that life is truly chequered and rigged and is structured not so much so that certain people succeed but to make sure that certain people and social groups fail. There are even people out there that have a need to see others fail to feel good about themselves. This is almost a corrupt view of competitiveness. The difficulty is that people are so reliant on wanting to prove themselves right they lose all sense of objectivity. They are willing to deceive and lead others astray rather than be proven wrong.

So why since this has been ongoing for centuries are people still seduced by the doctrine of 'its not what you know but who...' that means you have a good life or not. The answer is a simple one, humans are very easily manipulated, they are more than willing to buy into the illusion given to them that the world is a world of opportunity.   And yet except for a token few among the plebeian classes who might gain some officiate token power and duty; the majority become nothing more than great entertainers for the elite whether that is in sport, music or theatre. Common People that are successful do not have any real power or influence and do not alter the lives of others; and as an example of this if humanity is to progress then mankind needs to move away from the drug that is an addiction and a distraction to that of the celebrity brain inhibitor.

Once man has been weaned off the Celebrity Brain Inhibitor the world design then becomes very simple, we remove destitution, greed, jealousy, and malice and so we remove many of the problems of the world.

When Jesus overturned the tables and chairs of the tax gatherers and money lenders in the temple of Jerusalem, saying this is the house of God and you have turned it into a den of thieves he was showing his disgust for what a society holds to be valuable. It appears that since that time and before, and to the present, mankind has not changed. Humanity still has not realised that people grow through compassion, love, understanding and tolerance. Ideals that would give you an equal liberal society where merit is rewarded.

So why is there still so much resentment and bitterness in life?

Firstly it begins with injustices perceived or otherwise.

We live in a world where everyone has a rule for themselves and a different rule for everyone else, it is for this reason people seldom accept blame for any wrong they do. Which is a major flaw within the human psyche. Some people might say that such an attitude is how the ego copes with difficult situations but such a defect will someday be seen as a retardation of the mental capabilities of the individual preventing humanity from elevating itself.

People are more than willing to criticize others but are unwilling to accept the same for themselves.
People are still judgmental without being objective, they can see faults in others and often point them out but they cannot see their own faults.
The social groups beneath the elites and secret societies that adopt the idea of it’s ‘Who you know’ are too fractured and divided to form a cohesive group to elevate each other.
When someone comes along to represent the weak, the vulnerable, the common man they are easily discredited ( Julian Assange of Wikileaks has had allegations of rape made against him, George Galloway of the respect party was forced to testify to the United States Senate over alleged illicit payments in the food for oil programme, Nigel Paul Farage of the United Kingdom Independent Party has alleged claims against him that his expenses are not altogether accurate etc) by an elite hierarchy that controls the way society thinks, behaves, acts, through media outlets, and a well oiled propaganda machine.  The Elite like most social groups is directed by its ‘greater brain’to behave in a manner of self-interest.  Hence it is willing to adopt what might be thought of as insane acts to propagate an agenda of control that will eventually lead to its own demise.  As an example of this consider that society is structured in such a manner as to force people to fail. The elite through a broken capitalistic democracy have bred jealousy bitterness and resentment among the masses as a process for control; as Jesus said a house divided cannot stand. Hence divide and rule of the masses is as common an idea today as it has ever been.
Humanity is still at a primitive level of evolution. We still live in a world where people are more than willing to still stone people and burn them at the stake. Where there is still poverty and an imperial hierarchical structure to life.
Instead of People encouraging their neighbours, they discourage them, instead of communicating and talking through issues, people grow angry and bitter, and instead of wanting to improve themselves and others they want to see others fail.
The Political and established elite talk of helping the weak, the vulnerable, and the common man but their words are different from their actions. An example of which is - they talk of education for all, then increase tuition fees so that the common man on the street is excluded from higher education. They talk about lending money to the banks so that they may start lending to small businesses but then money is not lent to small businesses and the common man has to watch those same bankers that caused the current world crisis achieve bonuses worth millions. They talk about healthcare for all but the common man ends up being nothing more than a guinea piggy bank for pharmaceutical agencies, (They use their experimental drugs on the common man and expect the common man to pay for those same drugs) take the drug Thalidomide, the alleged problems with the Urabe strain MMR vaccine etc which when it was introduced caused encephalitis-type conditions. Please see source the Telegraph - Vaccine Officials knew about MMR risks by Mark Watts and Christopher Hope 5 March 2007.
The Political elite talk of a pay freeze for the masses in public life then give a 5% reduction in taxation from 50% to 45% for those earning over £150,000. In principle by cutting their tax by 5% the political elite has given such high earners a 10% pay rise.
Sport is used the way it always has been since the time of the original Olympics of antiquity, and well before, as a distraction for the masses.

To change the current way of thinking means humanity needs a radical change of heart away from being self-righteous self-serving and self-centred to the realisation of community, unity and true equality; of encouraging each other to become better for our society.

I believe that any human can become and achieve anything; you can become a great artist like Leonardo Da Vinci, you can become a great playwright like William Shakespeare, you can become the doctor that cures cancer, the scientist that develops new sources of energy. You just have to believe that such things are achievable and not listen to those that say you should be content with being less because such people have their own agenda and it is not to create a better world for others except for themselves.

Beware of people whose words are different from their actions, who say one thing but act out something completely different, who are willing to lead you astray under the belief that they want the best for you, when really they just want the best for themselves, such people are nothing more than a snake in the grass; as Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet ‘the Devil have the art to take a pleasing form.’ They may offer you honeyed words to seduce you to their way of thinking but truly they lie to get the best from you for themselves.

Most people remember that poster of Kitchener or Uncle Sam ‘saying your country needs you.’

Well David needs you to help build a better greater society to educate yourself in the Arts, in the Sciences, in an understanding of your history, both personal and cultural, to become less judgemental and more compassionate; and if you say to yourself who am I to say such a thing, to want to conscript you to such things, then that shows how little we have grown as a human race that you still need a symbol or label to speak to you before you are willing to listen to the wisdom of these words and an individual who has no agenda except wanting to see you fulfil your potential. And if you say that that is not what you want, then make sure your decision is based on you having been given a fare choice and chance in life and not because someone gave you no choice and no chance and through not having that which is your natural right to have, you gave up.

Don't Drag Me On Down

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYOd3Z3EqgU

In a world where hypocrisy reigns we must ask ourselves how much twisted truths are we willing to listen to from individuals or states.  If you hate being dragged down then do not drag others down.  If you want Love then you should not give out hate, and though you feel in your world you are under stress you should not put others under stress but niether should you have to take what others recklessly give out.  Do not have anything to do with those that willingly spread lies and deceit about you claiming it to be the truth but neither should you stand judging them for they are sick of spirit. 

Melville the Friendly Leech

Melville the Friendly Leech is a fable about the worlds attitude of 'its not what you know but who you know' that means you progress in life. 
Due to this beleif a large part of the population of the world remains uneducated and a very small fraction are educated to a relatively high level this has led to mankinds inability to overcome what would be easily overcome were it to employ its full potential.

In the beginning was the word and the word was Love.

Requiem to Colorado

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdlCxWCmH50&feature=plcp

Memoriam - A Tribute to honour both the survivors of, and those lost, to deep adversity.
Any words used at times of hardship may seem empty when spoken from a distance and spoken by someone not known to those confronted by cruel circumstance.  But to have a love, a deep compassion for people that are unknown to you as you are to them is to show them your sympathies and empathy for how they have suffered.  It also shows how compassion and love remain unrestricted and unbound. And this is a Memoriam to all that have suffered.    
The Poem - The thunder cloud is written to empower people to hold on to the love in their hearts so that it remains unconquered and not to give in to anger, rage, bitterness and revenge.  The word Thunder in the poem is the righteous love in your hearts that struggles against injustice.  I know how difficult after suffering a grievous loss it is to become the better and more courageous person it is at such times that our humanity and the support of our community are needed the most.

Sh*t Happens

The way our topsy-turvy society teaches people to think.

Shit Happens - Used to explain everything from catching cancer to Tsunamis

Well it never hurt me - Used when people feel others overreact to certain situations; when really people should have empathy.

Could have been worse - When truly things could not have got any worse

It’s a dog eat dog world - Guess that makes everyone a cannibal

Who gives a f**k - Used at times when people should actually care; although maybe used in an appropriate context as it wonderfully gets the message across.

Running out of Time - Even though the Universe has been here as far as we’re aware for billions of years societies got you rushing around as though everything’s going to end tomorrow.

The grass is greener on the other side - Promotes jealousy and a competitiveness people don’t need.

Keeping up with the Joneses - Don’t know any so why would I want to even keep up with them. And if I did know them who gives a f**k.

It’s a small world - So is Mercury and that’s why they’ve filled peoples mouths with it. Actually this term is an easy explanation for our non understanding of fate and the way the Metaphysical Universe works.

'Shit happens'

I asked them why

Why she had to die

Because ‘shit happens’

Doesn’t really justify

Why people suffer

And ‘that’s life’

Doesn’t explain away

The meaning of strife

And when people say

‘It never hurt me’

I thought on that day

Where’s your empathy

So

‘It’s a dog eat dog world’

Where many strive

To destroy instead of build

And where people thrive

On what shouldn’t have thrilled

Like ‘keeping up with the Joneses’

Who have the newest HD TV

I guess the question this poses

Is where’s their ‘sense and sensibility’

And so if you feel ‘out of luck’

That ‘your worlds turned upside down’

Then just say ‘who gives a f**k’

And offer a smile instead of a frown
