Social Genocide


The more I think about it, the more I now understand how sadly mistaken we were, and how arrogant we have all become. We have created a chaotic world system based upon the theory of social separatism and the philosophies surrounding class warfare.  Untested principles and misguided logic have led all down the path of greed; turning us into a mesh of organic self-righteous sociopaths with the moral equivalency of Sharks.

Through a warp educational system, we have taught our children how to overtly maneuver around the principles of truth, compassion, respect and fair dealing; to substitute honorable traditions with deceit, hatred, prejudice and corruption in the hope of securing a better station in society. These practices have created a social order dominated by individuals quick to ridicule rather than finding common grounds toward an effective solution for escalating global issues.

Should it matter the ethnicity, political and religious conviction or gender of any individual before there can exist mutual understanding and consensus; before anyone can openly agree to share ideas and opinions, without fears of personal reprisals and social exile?  A world wherein the want of competition comes secondary to the need for cooperation; wherein one nation ought not be outcast based upon their ambitions to possess the same technological advancements of another (whatever that may be).

We are more than seven billion people, living on one planet; each with a propensity to own the sandbox, bully the other kids, and to declare ourselves king of the proverbial mountain. Our greatest inventions are not gear toward increasing the value of humanity and the perpetuation of life, but rather toward increasing financial status and inflating ones superficial egos. The ultimate sad fact about this reality is, if  one individual, one day, decide that the planet Earth ought to belong to them and them alone, the whole world will pay the price as surely as night follows day.

I am not suggesting a society built upon Utopian perfection, because the pursuit of such ideals would repress any genuine emotions one might, and ought to, socially express. The main context for this social commentary rest upon an inability to balance our material wealth with our spiritual awareness; accepting the different characteristics that naturally and culturally distinguish us as both unique from one another yet part of a single organism.

Human beings are unique creatures that thrive upon social acceptance, interaction and emotional support, wherein they can relate with each other in healthy and positive ways. When these key factors are missing in an individual (group or Nation) social life, the consequence unfortunately becomes the detriment to the wider community.

Look around and you can easily identify antisocial individuals.  Some are your family members, next-door neighbors, coworkers, governmental agents and members of your social network.  They desperately need support, not judgmental ridicule.

We ought to sympathetically welcome them into our social family with humility, respect and sincere compassion.  Help them to understand love and trust.  Allow them to gradually adapt and interrelate. Teach them how to generate conscious vibrations, see through the Eye, unifies strengths and strengthens weaknesses.

When all is said and done, what will define humanity is not the height of structures, nor the value of trinkets, but rather how individuals and nations relate and interact with each other - upon a physical, mental and spiritual level.

Above all, humanities most defining character will be our prevailing spirit - in the face of great adversity and bleakest despair.  ~ CR
