I know that it seems trite to state this and perhaps I'll be accused of being an old hippie by suggesting it, but think about it ... our military and defense contractors are not practicing love when they draft their war plans .... our scientists and psychologists are not practicing love when they experiment on helpless people ... our bankers are not practicing love when they engage in price fixing ... our politicians are not practicing love when they pass Orwellian laws which limit our freedom ... we're all on this beautiful planet at the same time ... life could be so good, and yet it is not ... why?
This is Max Igan ... he's a philosopher and activist from Australia ... I kind of like him ... whether or not you believe that the world is controlled by 13 families with evil plans, the basic message is a good one ... enjoy ...

Maybe this is a rhetorical question, (the kind I have a bad habit of answering): "we're all on this beautiful planet at the same time ... life could be so good, and yet it is not ... why?" Because we have - for many generations - bought into a social order designed to keep the rich and powerful rich and powerful, rather than to support all people in living well. It seems like the only game in town, and until we start a new game (socio-economic system) that serves all real human needs, it will continue to be the only game.
Mr Igan says: "Stop complying with it ("the system") and you will shut it down." Then what? Love may be very desirable, but until it moves us to connect with each other and to begin working together to bring a new social order - new ways of meeting our real needs cooperatively - into existence, we're likely to keep playing their game, because we seem to have no option. Besides love, we need new ways of coordinating human activity (which is what all societies do) so as to benefit all of humanity, not just a select few. We need a cooperative society based on sharing and on mutual caring and support.
Love will certainly help, starting with self-love that leads us to focus on what we really want rather than all the negative, life-degrading things happening in the world.
Peace,

Although there are those among us who have been wounded and believe that wounding others is appropriate, it never is ... without outside manipulation, most of us are already based in love and connecting with others and providing for everyone in our community is quite natural ... if we are motivated by fear then that takes over and isolates us from this ... the gate keepers know this ...
The building of a just world is a natural state ... just imagine a world without predators who prey on people's weaknesses ....
