This thread and a few threads before may sound ... A bit out there ... But the context was , i faced an electricity cut where we were a few hours ago and it was 30 - 35 C (90 to 95F) at 12 am in the morning ...
I was physically miserable... Yes climate breakdown is real ...
But i did acknowledge that this is how people lived like 100 / 200 years ago .... In complete darkness and no way to contact people (if they were not super wealthy) ... Our ancestors took us from f--king literal darkness in life / social structure / peace you name it , to here
And we sit around being cynical ... ???We must absolutely do #Peaceisahumanright
We must absolutely create a world where everyone has the basic necessities and means to live a peaceful dignified life
People a 100/200 years before didn't even have electricity& they still gave us this world .... We have the internet, connectivity and now a remote working world .... We can & must use our humanity 2 the fullest and help our next generations realize a future we can't even think of
Humane treatment isn't a socialist or communist or capitalist idea ... I subscribe to neither of the three and the authors of all three **theories** will let you know ..
We all need basic shit to live and be treated with respect , period ...
In full transparency i have always believed that every child of God deserves access to the very best that they can get in this once in 4ever opportunity called life ...even before i learnt to talk properly. I have seen the TON of effort put into bringing a child into this world.
The effort that i dont see being talked about or acknowledged but i have seen it ... I have seen it from Gynaecs , Pediatricians , Nurses , Hospital staff , Home care workers , House workers , Educators , Researchers , Social workers , Legal Advocates , Govt staff etc
just letting u know ICYMI , you dont hate muslims , brown people , immigrants , beggars ... this is something you were taught or you taught yourself by seeing what happened around you or to make yourself feel comfortable ;
Let me let u know who this serves
- a rich celebrity who is trying to stay in public relevance
- a politician trying to stay in power
- a w*r profiteer trying to sell automatic weaponery to destroy your limbs or those of others somewhere far off
- a political strategist who doesnt care or has given up on voters
- a podcast presenter / commentator / influencer who wants a lot of clicks fast
- home owners who cant stand "aliens" on their land
Would you make a house without a foundation, funny how we are trying to maintain a whole system without one...
How can we let children of God starve and die on the street simply because "they / their family" didn't work hard enough ... What is that ...?
& then most of us have the audacity to change our location or the place we raise our kids to a more "developed" location ..a more well treating, neutral location that would take care of people you mean.. The one u chose to move to,rather than care about or create one ... Yeah ...
I am not talking about changing anyone but our own selves ... If enough of us do it we can move forward to a much better life without worrying about people who may never choose to care
You want to the f--king truth , you are not an American , an Indian or whatever the f you say you are , you are not a Muslim or a Hindu or a Christian, you aint a native shit from anywhere. For almost all of us,
You are a civilian , a regular civilian who would be forced to flee if a politician went nuts on the international stage ... Your amazing life is on the verge of changing & so is your identity every second. You are a regular person who is the child of 2 regular people who either
fled, left or moved places to finally be in the place where you are a "native" of ...
Unless you are part of some dynasty your ancestors were slaves of kings and queens just like me ..
Positive facts about this world : This world has way too much money and opportunities for any one to be or feel p**r
This world has your back, the systems we made up have given us systematic misery yes BUT they are also intricate and complex enough to lend an actual helping hand to every lost child or person.
And this is a FACT fact that will be true every century no matter what changes:
If you want to change this world, everything will align in ur favor to help you do that
T-R-U-S-T M-E
You will make a positive difference 4 everyone exactly when u make the decision to do it&act on it
P**erty is an unecessary disease we have created ..
The whole premise of eliminating it is to make sure people are not spending time worrying about it , 24 X 7
I would never wish it on any one , The constant fear is unecessary .
Also The solution to it is not a life on private jet and yacth ,
Any situation where you worry about the necessities of life because you dont have $$ is a state of p**erty and its not gonna go away by buying luxury products or experiences.
With respect to India & Pak , here is something no one will say:
Having read the history of India/Indian subcontinent which is one of the oldest histories in the world , I doubt if India and Pakistan will even be a thing in 200 years... we behave as its the issue of our lives
but its an occurence in history that will go away.
I want everyone to see this tweet :
Countries will come and go. Borders and Conflicts will come and go. The most important question to answer is will a normal ass person live out a dignified life & have autonomy
