Day 25: What have we Done?
So I started reading Howard Zinn’s ‘A People’s History of the United States’ and was in tears after a few pages lol. I mean, this is not the heroic / fairy tailed version of history as we get taught in school, where only those things are shared to put the Human Race in a ‘good light’. Sure, we had some wars ‘here and there’ and maybe some genocides in the run but let’s not dwell on those ‘mistakes’ and 
So I was busy reading the book, blown away by the horror of our nature like I was busy watching the most gruesome scary movie ever – and then I realised, oh crap – I got a baby coming into this world and at some stage he/she is going to have to learn about history. How am I supposed to explain this stuff? There’s no excuse, no justification, no ‘explanation’ to how we’ve behaved. For a species granted with the gift of ‘reasoning’, we seem to not have done much with it – except for using it to come up with clever excuses as to why it is okay to abuse and exploit others.
What do we have to show for? Thousands upon thousands of years of abuse – and so far, a future which seems to provide the same story line. We are a sad bunch.
This is not a world fit for children, this is a world of shame! And the worst part is, that for all those years of having screwed things over – we haven’t learnt a thing. We haven’t come up with proper solutions that actually take care of major problems like poverty and starvation. Sure, we have this nice document where on paper we all have these Human Rights – but these are not being protected in any real way. Instead of this being the headline every single day in the news, we rather distract ourselves with gossip and the newest gadget and scandal of the day.
Let’s change our legacy, let us put into place some REAL Solutions we can stop being a complete disappointment for the children to come.
Check out the Equal Money Website, Check out the Declaration of Human Rights as per the Equal Life Foundation. It’s time to write a different story.
Day 19: Is Complete Self-Change Possible? (Part Three)
When and as I see myself looking at particular points/limitations in my reality and think that I am unable too handle them / that they are too big / too integrated / too far gone -- I stop and I breathe -- I see and realise that these points/limitations did not just 'happen' to me, but that a process of creation and participation on my part took place in order to manifest these points/limitations within myself /my reality thus I commit myself to acknowledge my that if I can put them in place, I can remove them as well -- equal and one -- and I commit myself to the removal of self -limitations until it is done
When and as I see myself looking at points within myself which I deem 'too big to face' and tell myself that 'Í will just have to manage' or 'what is the point / why bother' where there is a form of giving up on myself -- I stop and I breathe -- I see and realise that I am playing the game of 'giving up before I have even started' where I do not even give myself the chance/opportunity to work through a point so that I do not have to face/walk the process of undoing the point and thus not face any stumbling blocks on the way where I may respond in disappointment/self-judgment/failure and thus rather 'give up right away'. I commit myself to trust myself and have the faith to walk any point to completion no matter how impossible it may seem
When and as I see myself access the belief that there are 'limits to change' -- I stop and I breathe -- I see and realise that this is merely a handy self-sabotage line that permits me to justify why I am not going my damnest best to push myself for complete and total self-change - and leave me to wallow within self-limitation. I commit myself to stop right then and there and to re-establish my self-commitment and self-motivation within the determination and trust that I can do this
