(In America) This way of life.

 So what draws so many, to this land of America? 

If you travel here; one can go from coast to coast in about 4 days.  

In that amount of time, you'll discover people from nearly all over the globe; living between the east and west coasts. North to south. 

 What other country will you find such a mixture of nationalities?  Despite having some rough cities and crimes or poverty; you can live a relatively better life here, than just about anywhere else in the world.  Is it our way of life?  Our culture? Acceptance? (Surely you cannot believe that we are all so racist or so divided then.) 

The freedoms enjoyed,  that aren't as plentiful elsewhere upon the earth.  Our very constitutional rights that stand for all time;

                                                                              (This We'll Defend)

 For all of us, and those that chose America as their new home. 

 So why then, do many want or encourage this way of life to change?  To change toward the ways of their prior homeland?  Giving more power or control over the people;  rather than the other way around?  Instead:  embrace this new found freedom!  This land of opportunities;  certainly not a land of entitlements. 

This way of life!  As hundreds and thousands that came after the 1900's; they chose to be, what Americans stood for, worked for, and lived for.

Never forget where you came from, but also never forget where you are now.  

Instead;  embrace, strengthen and help sustain our way of life.  For all, and the many younger generations to come.  It is up too all of us:  United as one!  

No divisions, no separate parties, only one nation for us all.

So be it~

Look further;  read more entries that I've posted going back several years.

You'll see this perspective; and soon a whole new picture will emerge.  A clearer understanding.  You'll soon see; what truly matters most.   It all begins with one individual,  then multiplies to being all. 

Lost(In the clouds)?

 

Are you still wondering about your life?

Where you are at this age; be it 16, 21, 30, or approaching 50+ years.

Maybe you're a mom or dad.  Possibly not.  No worries;

 You are simply here to discover who you are in this lifetime.  Your true purpose and what things you are to improve, correct or make amends with.

 Be it people in your life, or your own pitfalls/shortcomings. (The vices we tend to battle)

I've struggled with anger, my own ego, among other little things like; my purpose.

Happiness and being content are closely related.  If you're relatively happy right now,  having no children at the ripe age of 37-40; then- no worries.  You need not feel guilt over that. Not all, were meant to have children in this lifetime.  Many are to have children or experience being a parent.  Society does not dictate this or that.  You do!

You are here to discover you.  Live, learn, discard, delete, grow, and improve.

All the ways of the world around you are merely distractions.  Kind of like an obstacle course;  with many things to tempt you along the way. Take you off the path to discovery.

Your restraint, confidence, and self control should be what keeps you on the right path.  Few are capable of maintaining this.  It can be done!

Through the trials we go through: If you look at life, more as a test to "pass or fail", you will get through it all better.  You'll learn, rather than complain.  No one is entitled to anything but the air you breathe.   All else is mere illusion.  As you know,  nothing is really "free".  There is a price to pay for anything just given.  Be it returning the good deed to another,  or enslavement, being the worst part. 

You decide,  but do not worry your heart, over the things you have no control over.  Just focus on what you do!  ~Onward my friends. 

Time to discover,  time to change!

So that cooler heads may prevail(It is all about survival)

 

Courage, 

Is the most important of all virtues because without courage; you cannot practice any other virtue consistently.

Life upon the earth,

For all of us is merely about survival.

Then we look toward sustainability. 

To live without fear, among ourselves. 

To roam with relative freedom, seeking out food and or to maintain the growing and harvest of foods, shelter, and simply; our life!

Today(2024): we all know we have fast moving vehicles; why do we find it necessary to prove it?

We all know; around various parts of the earth, we have individuals or standing militaries that can unleash devastating and terrible damage upon the earth and ourselves. Why must we prove it?

Now more than before; we are all connected. Interwoven with the earth; as people, of the earth.

All of us rely on the survival of our precious earth. We should be maintaining and sustaining it together. (Native people's had done it correctly,  all along)

We as a whole, are not much different: it is our minds, that make it so.

We simply need to realize that we can govern ourselves.  Have appointed people to make the more important decisions for us all, to generally agree upon. (As elders/ wise one's)

But death, destruction, and absolute control of the people of the earth, is not necessary. 

All can go forward, finding a way to make dissolved: the divisions among ourselves. 

So that cooler heads may prevail...

It begins with the individual.  Choosing, LIFE.

It shall be life~

~Onward

A plea to the people(Vote for yourself)

 

They said:

"At any cost we will dissolve this land as we know it".

At whatever cost (2020 covid virus, mass rioting/ civil unrest) 9-11-2001.

The constant flooding across our porous borders, of peoples from incompatible lands. 

Intentionally injecting these people, to where you live across America. 

The sole purpose; to ignite civil unrest.

To bring normally/typically good Americans to the point of desperation.  Taking matters into their own hands.

Not because they want too, but because they know- law enforcement has their hands tied.  Unable to do what needs to be done.

Don't you see, my good people:  They desire to tear down America! 

Going all the way back to 2001.

What better way, than to sow division, distract us, instill fear! and totally place us against ourselves (in defense of our own mutually desired outcome;  securing our peace, liberties and believed freedom!)

Through civil unrest: ( fighting amongst ourselves and those that were injected among us)

A forcing of hands to simply do what is right.  Stopping the wrong-doers, because we know it is wrong what they are doing.

Deep down, you know, all this doesn't feel right, don't you?  

It isn't about one man(Trump)

It is about our way of life. A life we've known for many, many decades.

So why do they want to tear down this way of life?

The only answer is absolute control.

You decide, you vote. Do what you know to be right, for the greatest nation thus far, upon the earth.   

Remember,  there isn't another country,  that is blended of so many nationalities.    

It is the love for this country!  That makes us all United,  all ONE.

This we'll defend~

A theory about the Antichrist(Christianity)

 

As you know, most people refer to the Bible as the; ' rock of ages'.

Yet, there are so many other beliefs across the earth.   Islam, Judaism, Krishna, Hinduism Buddhism, Etc etc.  

(We do not forget the atheists.)

What about those that were here, long long ago.  Like 11,000 years ago?

Sumer,  Ancient Babylon.   The stories of Lemuria/Atlantis? 

Carefully do you own research now(in this intensive technological age we're in).

Before you desire to mentally attack this idea.

If ever there were an individual (seemingly, not from here) that came along with many answers for the people of the earth.

How we should go forward: teachings very similar to that of the man we know as Jesus/the Christ)

Choosing to do what is right 

Love thy neighbor

Being selfless as opposed to 'selfish'.

Do unto others as you would expect they be unto you

Does not promote division, war/warring within or among  others.

Seeks hatred toward none

Promotes looking inward(your inner soul/essence)

Most importantly; does not seek to rule, by subjugation.  Nor wants to be leader of anyone or anything!   Simply,  exist.

No king, queen, president, or dictator. Simply exist!

Promotes the well-being of the earth and its people. 

(Openly speaking about beings from other dimensions/galaxies)

This individual today, would be ultimately rejected by most religions today and further; he or she would be considered the Antichrist. 

Simply because they are not 'one of us', this individual would be condemned!

That, is the problem of today's religious system.  Indoctrination, so thorough; that the stranglehold is near definite.

Thus, we're right back to where we were.  Warring, division, hatred, and worst of all:

The annihilation of mankind and our precious earth.  Let this sink in, for a change.

AWAKEN:  the soul, the mind, the body(vehicle).

It's about.     Time!

The power of the Sun(earth people; united)

 

The energy of the sun, truly sustains life!

What do you have without this 'source'?

Frozen solid, near uninhabitable lands(except for miniscule signs of life.)

It really is obvious that energy is being harnessed and compartmentalized across the earth.

A handful, know the immense power of the whole.

There is only one race /human inhabitants all upon the earth and that, is all of us!

You remove the divisions, religions pitted against one another. Any and all other forms of division; you end up with a hatred towards none.

A world of living, breathing beings. All, united as ONE.

That is the terrifying truth!  A handful, so desperate to hold this power of division, control of resources and sow chaos towards the distracted. 

We are all here for the same reason: survive and sustain our livelihoods; wherever that may reside upon the earth.  No catholicism, Islam, Judaism or anything that might possibly pit, one band of people's against another.

It is so amazingly simple as that.  Yet, these words sadly seem that of fiction.  A fantastic dream!

Maybe someday, we will all share this dream, as our reality.

Until then, we wake to the turmoil of another day(it does not have to be this way.)

The unity of all, is as the power of the Sun!

Awaken, and you'll see this true, truth.

Taming the ego: A time for consideration, not justification

Being the leader of ourselves; it takes being  in control of one's-self.

Making decisions that will certainly affect our life going forward.

Choosing the right decision; requires informed, critical thinking.  

Our emotions(the ego) often jumps right into our thinking process(path).

Time is crucial, and with disciplined patience; we must carefully consider our options. 

Look back on all your previous actions/mistakes. (Consider how the above applies, and how the outcome may have been different (better).

Somehow, we must instill the restraint, confidence and self control in our future generations.  Otherwise, the past will only repeat itself(one lifetime after another)

Society and today's technology has propelled us into a world of mass stimulation. 

What we need to emphasize,  is an intent desire for knowledge.  

Grow wiser, not entertained.  The reward is far greater in this lifetime. 

(Be the example)  

Future generations, are soon to follow us.

Restraint

   Confidence

      Self control

Be the lightning!

      

         

What is status to you? (2024)

 Seems like the word 'Status'  is far more important today than ever.  Specifically toward social media and what is going on "regularly" in people's lives.  Don't you miss the days when everything in your day was so much more basic/simple?  No selfies crossed your mind. Updates on 'whoever' and what "so & so" is up to lately?   It used to be we would only focus on the family, hobbies and or nearest relatives in our lives. Even then, we didn't want to learn to much(drama). 

Here in the united States;
  We had a long days work to get through, and when you finally were off; a game show or something routine on television before going to bed and (repeat). Now we are incensed with everyone's drama or latest outing; going to the store, going for a drive, going to Disneyland or vacation elsewhere.  Let us not forget all who are obsessed with their body.  Going to the gym or following the latest diet trend!  (Egoic mindest)  All for that perfect public image;  It's enough to make you a little less sane at times!  Sure, you can try and tune it out or block(un-follow) all that nonsense but it's too late for some;    you're hooked! 

Addicted!
It really is getting ridiculous as we progress onward into the future(next week) etc.  The tech phones too; What's up with that?  Why is it necessary to update to another phone(Apple) in about a year? Can't we just be happy where we are with what we have already?  

That is part of the insanity of it all; people are barely keeping up with real life, as it is and the struggles that come and go (the wealthy, entitled, silver spoon-fed individuals don't apply)  but all those that are just trying to keep up with the fast-changing and fast-paced world we are 'bullet-train riding,' ahead on; is going to put many on a collision course with a reality unknown to them: That is 3rd world living!  

You cannot imagine it but it is (a possible outcome) and the government will come along with a solution for it all. (hmmm)

Is it possible that was the plan all along?   Sound far-fetched?  Maybe, but what if?   Imagine being so distracted by things in life, meant to keep you from questioning or getting the bigger picture of what has been going on for so many decades.       

                                   
 What about 'status' :  EGO

  BY what you drive, where you live and how many "toys" you own? -EGO-

Really?  No wonder people are doing some pretty crazy things in society with guns, and the bullying or suicidal tendencies becoming more of a problem with our youth today.  

No wonder so many more choose to give up, and become homeless.

All those things to acquire are some pretty high expectations, just to fit in with everyone.  How can anyone be free of chains(debt);with all those things to acquire?  More and more looking for an escape from life and the future that lies head of them.  (Drugs, pornography, alcohol)

  The youth don't seem the slightest prepared except a certain group; those structured by a good   (No Bull***) parent, that is full on telling them what the real world is all about and guiding(structuring) them along the way as they age; til they've had enough and decided, "I'm ready!  I've got my helmet and I'm gonna take life head on!  No helicopter parenting is going to rescue me from my choices.  You own them. (Consequences or reward.) It is all yours.

I think it is okay to just be YOU.  No status, no expectations, from anyone but what you want out of life.   

LOSE THE EGO, find out who you really are.

 Technology?  Don't you worry; it's likely  to implode and you'll carry on just fine without it.  
Think; the early to mid  90's way of life.  It was not to heavy on tech and yet life seemed still simple enough to plan ahead.  Keep faith in yourself.  Your ability to take care of yourself and your responsibilities. Focus on yourself and just live for today with confidence and self control*  You'll see a car passing you by one day with a window sticker; palm trees and the phrase "no bad days"  and you'll just think (yea, no bad days).
It has to begin somewhere*   Lose the ego-mind and see life differently. 

Awaken and take control of your life!                                     

Ask not what your country can do for you...(2024)

                            

So you're an American?
Do you even know what that means?  Having been born and raised in the land of the free; do you understand how that alone is similar to buying a random lottery ticket and winning instantly(You did nothing else)  Required no other effort.  At least it must seem that way by the thousands attempting to get here the hard way.  How about American Idol;  the chosen winner did not get that status by walking across the border or rolling the dice.  It took a lot of hard work, determination, perseverance and certainly talent(we'll use skill too).
So what does it mean, to be AmerIcan?

It does mean you have many more privileges than most, born in countries around the world.
You have a voice and can be heard.  You can speak your mind publicly and go on your way.
It means you can gather peacefully to oppose something or someone, without the fear of disappearing or being "marked" out in the society that you live.  It means you can achieve almost anything you set your mind too(once you've made up your mind and set out to do it).
As a matter of fact; being an American, the only one setting limitations on what you can do with your life is primarily you! 


Certainly for some,(Bill or Melinda Gates, Warren Buffet, or Paris Hilton) it seems easier to achieve or have a successful life overall.  Look around in sports, the musicians or the actors on television.  They come from all walks of life.  Some may need to work even harder, but thousands come here to succeed, because there is opportunity to do so and the effort is worth the sacrifice.  One should not be here for handouts or take from others; what they have earned or worked hard for in their life.
It isn't the American way, and many did not get here for such reasons(though it seems the winds have changed).
Being an American, you are Not entitled however.

Nothing is free nor should it be presumed to be.  There is reward, in all the hard work that we do to live a good, comfortable life.  (Though some rewards are veiled.)
There are chains that typically may come from gaining without earning or handouts without necessity. (Government programs or welfare)
Someone else is in control, or has the upper hand and ultimately could decide your fate.

You are not entitled to free healthcare in America.  No guarantee of a retirement unless you find the right job in life or plan accordingly.  

There are no certainties and none should be expected.

The truth is, you really have to work hard to attain all that you'll need in life.  It is up to you to do your best to remain healthy(or not if you desire the opposite) but no one else should pay for your Lack Of. . .
Like the millions before you; Freedom is being an American and the privilege to have been born on this soil. The land of the free, because of the brave.
Yes  there are taxes to be paid to local & federal government entities; that are necessary for police, schools, fire departments and relatively good roads that can take you anywhere in the country.
Offering protection, education and even rescuing a home built up on the mountainside under siege from fire.  Being an American, you have a duty to continue the greatness of this country.

By working, and pursuing your own dream; not taking, expecting or feeling entitled to anything other the the air you breathe(from life itself)
So ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what it is you can do for your country(JFK)  Even better; what can you do to help yourself succeed in our great and one of a kind country that could never be replicated~
Be part of the solution and not the problem.
Don't take for granted, that you were born on the soil of these United States of America.

Do you really know who you are? (Few do)

                                         

Look back on your life.  

From as far back as you can remember.
The "wonder years", where you were learning the basics of everyday life (just being a kid)
Gradually being molded by those around you (parents or your grandpa/grandma. Uncles and aunts or even a family friend)  Your mind, taking shape to the world around you; the world you know.  For all of us, it is different.  

From the clothes on our back, food on the table to the activities we did, to pass the time in our everyday.  Our chores or responsibilities growing up; some had so many, and some had almost none.  There isn't that much to learn when you aren't exposed to very much outside in the world. 'The real world' after you've grown and should be ready to take on a life of your own.

From the term "helicopter parenting" or" free range parenting".  Always there guiding your child or hardly there to influence them as they wander about on they're own.  I was more of the latter, and could just about do what I wanted, (within my own limitations).  I knew of boundaries growing up.
I used common sense, most of the time.  Generations apart, clearly grow up differently; just look at those growing up today. (Technology overload!): 

 I am thankful that I was born several decades before.  Over the years of young adult, to mature adult; I have seen a lot change.  I have made many changes in myself, and so much remains the same.  Certainly I've changed for the better, as I've tapped into the real me. Losing the ego, gradually.

Hidden behind walls that were built around my inner self.  What is significant; I didn't let the changing times or society, change who I was over the years.  As many do, I've 'experienced alcohol and smoking and(some fads).  I never allowed myself to use drugs.  I could see the writing on the wall, on the path that drugs take you...

TRENDS

   

 All about fitting in (ego)  I just stick with the basics for the most part.  I'm a T-shirt and jeans kinda guy and that's about it.  Not a fan of sports or much anything else that involves mass noise pollution. 

Yes it is a boring  picture I am painting but there is so much more to myself than that anyway.
I know who I am on the inside, that has never changed.

I don't need the NIKE swoosh or Reebok brands. Whatever fits in with society? 

It is all everyone else's problem.
Why worry about fitting in?  I fit in myself just fine.
Don't you see, the world and life around you has very much, changed who you are?
You don't even know who you are,  do you?    Isolation: Ego
Take a trip back in your mind.  See where it has all changed.

Reinventing yourself; It's about time!

What does it mean to you(2024)

 

How many energy drinks do you consume in a week?  

What about the long term, affect?

We shall see huh?

What about all this other stuff we choose to consume?

              

                                                  Can you imagine,  what it all must do to our body?   

Sugar( high fructose corn syrup)  The GMO-foods, we cannot seem to get away from.

     These days, it is pretty clear what occurs when we do not place limits on ourselves.    (Record obesity problems beginning as young as 7-years of age in our children.)

How much beer do you "down" on an average week?

Your regular refills of your favorite soda?  Can you keep track of that uncontrollable urge to drink them?

How often do you enjoy eating pizza?  Can you think of how many times in a month you are either having pizza, ice cream, or a popular fast food meal? (Mcdonalds, In n Out, Taco bell) you get the idea.
Now stop and think what is merely, convenience and what is more because of your lack of self control? It all relates to the chains,  the things that bind us and take over our lives.
I myself enjoy eating out after a long work week. A restaurant that you sit, relax and enjoy your food.
Enjoy your beverage of choice and just relax.  What about what gets you through that long week?
Energy drinks, your soda by the refill and who knows what else.  If you look closely at all you regularly consume; how much is random and how much is so routine that, " I can't live without it"?

That's where you see what is really going on and what is really controlling you, in some way.

Many years back I had looked carefully at that weekly routine. All that I would consume as well as what I felt I relied upon. Suddenly, I realized I wasn't in control of myself in little ways. Nothing horrible, I didn't chew, smoke, drink soda excessively. 

I am not a drinker since those early years of adulthood. Anything I didn't feel I needed; I chose to cut out of my consumption for  several weeks. Just to be sure it wasn't controlling me. Once I was satisfied, I allowed myself to consume again(those things). It is tough to attempt to change the habit;
As the old saying goes, 'moderation is key' I noticed that my desire for anything waned, and I was able to pick and choose without any guilt. I was in control and that isn't a bad thing.

I look around and wonder how many are not in control?  

Having traveled coast to coast, north and south; I realize our country is out of control! 

In so many ways, besides what we consume.
Being a traveler outside the U.S. I see things in a different perspective as well.

We don't live simple lives, and strangely many only want to complicate their lives even more!
The homes or places we live, to what we drive, and what it is supposed to say(our "status") about who we are(to people we don't even know generally) Think about social media, for that matter.

You get the idea.

It really is, black and white(no gray area) When it comes to good vs bad.

 

I've seriously pondered that thought lately. Looking at the world we all see from wherever we live (in it). 

 Ever since our withdrawl from Afghanistan as a country. (Ending what was our longest war to date) The billions spent and our men and women's sacrifices, from the beginning to the end.

 Unfortunately with our election process and the changing of leaders (presidents) every so often, it really can mess things up: The process of completion.  

Clearly, we had attempted to "change" and democratize, that country.  We should have quickly learned, not every people of every country can change and or accept this (America's) way of life. 

 Not all have been subdued long enough to really push back with the fiercest of determination either. (Without any doubt, the people of Afghanistan do not wish to be controlled by the Taliban or a foreign occupier.)

What is very clear to me  Black/White: 

There will always be those that want to be in or remain in power (control).  That is also true in the United States,  although more discreetly to a significant population in the country.   (Not all are fooled.)

We have people that are "mostly" a peaceful people in the world, and we have the opposite. 

Certainly those mostly peaceful countries will defend the peace as well as freedom, with unwavering strength!  Look at the world we live and all of it's peoples inhabiting it.

Now observe for yourself, those that seek to remove others from existence or outright change who they are by force or indoctrination.  

The countries that have leaders that selfishly desire to remain in power and or desire to create the specific path for their countrymen and women to follow, without the individuals own peaceful and by birth upon the earth; the given right to choose almost exclusively on their own.  

The black and white or good verses evil is clear.  The side to choose in life is that clear to me, and if you ever thought there were a God and there were an  evil opposite?  

It really becomes black and white.  Good is good and bad is bad.  If the direction your country is taking you is eventual or complete control?  You know where your alliances are at that point. 

As our country had done over 200 years ago, and as people of your own country; the choice is truly yours.  Choose the good, over the evil. 

Patience

 Over the years, a lot is expected to be learned.  The old saying of "wisdom comes from old age"                     

Honestly, the patience you learn to acquire over time, simply helps you absorb everything in life at a desirable pace.  Many do get overwhelmed at all the complexities of life; especially many things we were never taught about, or even aware of.

 Just think, if there were ever a 'Life manual';  the first lesson would surely be patience.  

Don't get me wrong, for the majority; it is near impossible to think about or feel inside. 

 We live in a fast-paced society and we're used to everything being done, acquired or made in little time.  

(I'm not even ready to discuss traffic or means of transportation, but as you know; it is a jungle out there when it comes to getting from point A to B!) 

 Having seen enough to know; I do understand how much better I feel, having learned to be patient in almost everything I do regarding life.  

Work, home, family(children) even your pets.  You really tend to be less stressed out, less worry and simply able to drop things at the end of your day more often, rather than issues carrying over into the new day ahead.  

This saying:  'Fill that which is empty, empty that of which is full, '  kinda comes to mind in that regard.

  It also helps to allow yourself to let things be; of which you have no control over.  Having patience slows things down to a perspective that you can deal with right now, and one step at a time.  

Being a person that was once quick to anger;(early 20's) I found a lot had to do with control issues, and my wanting to be in control of so many things.

Boy was I ever stressed and moody most of the time!  At a certain point, and reflecting back on parts of my life; I wanted to change.  I also knew I was potentially a better person, than who I was then. 

 What I first began with was being more patient, and certainly not worrying about those things I had no control over in my life.  

It gradually melted away the negativity in my life.(This took nearly a decade to achieve!)  

That's me though and you could succeed sooner than that.  Patience, in all you do. Oh and don't forget to think about choosing what is right.  

We're all aware of that by age 10 at least and though we have a choice; doing what is right feels good in the long run, our conscience is clearer, and think about this:  

When it comes to telling the truth; you don't have to remember very much! 

Always be true to yourself, to others and don't forget the respect factor in life; 

That whole, 'do unto other's'  saying.  Take it seriously.  

You really have to desire a change in you, for the path to begin! 

Change begins with yourself(nekawA)

 

Man/woman, have been around for thousands of years.

Like everything else on the earth, they have long survived and evolved.

Since those very beginnings; there had been no savior of one's self.

Only the entity(individual) was capable of changing their ways over the lifetime given.  Your body was the vehicle in which your soul took control of to use, while here.  To once again give the ongoing battle of "Ego vs. Conscience" another go.  That constant struggle within of:

Good vs. bad.

Love vs. hate.

Right vs. wrong. 

Life, over the taking of life (senseless killing or elimination of other living things)

The path to change, lies within and no one can save you. 

You can only:

Save yourself

 ~From all of the distractions, temptations, (vices) addictions, obsessive behavior, or struggles within.  No entity (Jesus) or other savior will come along and change it all for you someday.  Especially if you did not understand their message.  Jesus, for example; showed us by living,  it himself.

 It truly resides within YOU!

There are many ways to begin this path and personally I would start here.

Did you honestly believe that you were to begin and end,  this Life,  Here and now:

~the life you've lived since childhood; as a stubborn, possessive, controlling, aggressive, or otherwise individual?   We are not robots.  We can and do change our ways.  Look at yourself? Are you at peace? Are you in control?  

Good luck, on the rest of your journey ahead.

Disciplined vs undisciplined (Where did we fall away)

 

It is more clear to me, that we are all many souls that are occupying different bodies over the course of hundreds, even thousands of years.

So who you are today, represents (possibly) one of many lifetimes already lived on this earth.

(Much like individually occupying a vehicle)

We may be culturally different; however what we are made of is the same.

Somewhere in time, it was learned or understood that to hold power; even over the largest populations of humans:

 One must divide them;  destroy or subdue to conquer.  What better way to sow division? 

Religions (Muslim, Christian,  Jewish,  Hindu,  Protestant,  atheism) etc.

Race (Nationality; what different part of the earth's, many lands of which one has been born upon)

Politics (Democrat, republican, libertarian, independent, conservative) etc.

Sports (NFL, NBA, MLB, even NASCAR) etc.

Status or 'classes' in society are clearly a division among us.  We have lost ourselves in the haze of distractions and temptations. All that we were flooded with over the individual lifetimes, that essentially keep us unfocused.  We rarely take time to discover what we are really here for.

What to do about it? Choose, between being "disciplined or undisciplined. "

Recognize the deception and manipulation.   Take control, of who you are and where, you are going.

It really is, as simple as that.    You choose.

Your future

Awaken and surprise yourself of your true potential!
