Why we do what we do:
Why is all this so important?
The world is changing. There is no doubt about it. The world we have today is not the same as the world we had yesterday or last week. We are living in strange times. Things are happening around us that have never happened on this world ever before. Our progress in recent years can only be matched by our imaginations, and soon it will surpass even that. There is no doubt that we are propelling ourselves towards something big, the question is what.
Throughout history there have been many for-tellers of doom. Talk of the end of the world is numerous throughout all times, yet most of the many instances the prophets were wrong. Our world still stands and life still goes on. But for how long? Disasters and calamities have also been numerous throughout our time here, many times devastating beyond anyone's ability to predict, and science tells us the disasters have happened that have put this entire world in jeopardy.
And yet, the vast majority of us live day in day out doubting that any great change will happen to us in our lifetime. Most of us are skeptic of this world coming to an end, yet that scenario is becoming more and more real with every passing moment. At any given time this world can be swept away, and there is very little we can do about it.
To add onto this, in the last sixty years humanity has actually found itself capable of destroying out planet with our very own hands! Ever since the end of the second world war humanity has been different then it ever was. In the last sixty years humanity graduated from being just another species on this planet to being an actual threat to this planets existence. Indeed the discovery of nuclear energy has put in our hands the power to do amazing things, yet we still refuse to mature.
In this last half decade we've managed to avoid sensational disasters at our own hands. But let me ask you, for how much more time are we able to do that?
Many movies and novels have dwelled on the possibility of rogue terrorist groups getting their hands on nuclear weapons and using it against the general public. Such a scenario is not far from reality. How long until this becomes true?
There are many thousands of nuclear weapons in this world, hundreds of which can be activated and used within the next half hour. There is enough energy in nuclear weapons to destroy this planet many times over, and they are still being made. How long until these weapons will be cheap enough for anyone to buy?
Furthermore, more countries are perfecting the technology to manufacture their own weapons of mass destruction, some of which are less sane and controlled then the ones that already have them, and who's security measures are more questionable then the miserable security systems already employed.
As scary as these scenarios are, and as very real that they are, we still find excuses of why we don't do anything, the chief of which is that we are powerless to do anything. This is far from true. By using the principles of Thou Art God and self-authority we will change the world. The more control you have over yourself the less control the power brokers will have. The only way to stop the world from being led into a dark future is if we take back the power from those who wish us no good.
Politicians, religious fanatics and extreme leaders must be taken down. We cannot afford to let other people control out lives. We cannot afford to have our lives out of OUR control. We've been sold a load of lies, now we must take it all back. It is the only solution. If we continue to neglect our responsibilities we will be responsible for the crimes done, not them. Those who stand by and do nothing are twice as guilty as those her perpetuate the crimes.
