The Good Vibes Revolution
The simplicity of good nature. For my lack of readers, you may have noticed that in the last couple of posts I have talked about an upcoming revolution. Yes, I may sound crazy, but this world is crazy. By revolution, I don't mean some sort of militant "lets create anarchy and choas" revolution. No, the one I'm talking about has to do with peace and tranquility. This shall be referred to as the BOOM BOOM BANG. The title may sound violent, but it is just the opposite. Under the BOOM BOOM BANG, peace and tranquility will be the goal. Yeah, some may call me a dreamer, but I'm not the only one....
Let me explain the reasoning behind this title. The first BOOM symbolizes the destruction of the atrocities which run our current society. These will be destroyed the minute people realize that they no longer want to subject themselves to society as whores. The fact is, most of us realize we are whores, yet we do nothing about it. There is a line in the film "Waking Life" in which an anonymous being asks "Have you ever gotten up, gone to a regular long day of work, got home and are ready to rest, and then wake up again, realizing that this normal day was a dream and you have to start the same thing from scratch again? Its bad enough that your forced to sell your waking hours for minimum wage, but worse when they steal your dreams." That may not be the exact qoute, but you get the picture. The point is, we must work to not feel like nothings in society, even if we truly are.
The second BOOM then symbolizes the death of the corporation. There will be a new beginning, and corporations will have nothing to do with it. Sure, they will still exist, we will just make sure they don't control us. The lobbyists will not exist. They will die.
The BANG symbolizes the dawning of a new era. Yes, violence will always exist. But this society will work to NOT advocate it, unlike our current society.
There you have it. The BOOM BOOM BANG. As simple an idea as Ghandi's. Yes, its optimistic, but humans need to do all they can in order to achieve a goal. Its all about Humanism. Star Trek advocates it, and so do I.
Optimism's a good thing. However distant and impossible a goal seems, it should still be strived for. Hell, thats better than giving up. See, when you are 5, your mother asks you "What do you want to be when you grow up?" You respond "I want to be a doctor." We all know that the goal is very hard. Does that make your mother say "That is a very hard goal."? No! And while your growing up, your mother will most likely still support your goals. Do good friends ever tell you "You could never become a lawyer?" Not likely, most friends support their friends decisions, even if it includes a whole lot of work and planning.
You catch my flow, I'm out.

Omar Bradley once said, "Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living." It's so damn true. Luckily, our ethical intelligence has grown rapidly in the past 100 years, althought it could use some improvement. But the evolution of our morals is reliant solely on cultural memes. It will happen slowly but surely. Eventually, the collective mindset of humanity will look back on the concept of war and think, "people actually killed each other? For what?"
