We are all now hearing more about the greed, ruthlessness and arrogance of
the ‘1 percent’ – and the protestations by the .00000000001 percent.
(While the rest of us snooze on?)
This is what I look at – the 1 percent are powerless on their own.
It is not the 1 percent who are controlling us, foreclosing on our houses,
selling useless and/or harmful pharmaceutical and food products, invading
countries and killing civilians and children, cutting down the rain
forests, building new roads through pristine land – it is ‘us.’? Us.
Isn’t it you and I who are supporting them – buying their products,
burning their oil, borrowing ‘their’ money, carrying out their orders?
Us not wanting to be inconvenienced and make any sacrifices?
I am not attempting to indicate right and wrong – I am attempting to show
that – ‘they’ are more awake than we are! ‘They’ know exactly what they are
doing, and we sleep on – because it is inconvenient to wake up to the fact that
they cannot do what they are doing without our support – us carrying out their orders.
And we want to be comfortable.
Them and Us. If you check that out you will find the source of that is
within. We have a ‘them’ and ‘us’ inside us. We have a part we support and
a part we do not – inside us. And we project that out.
I am not saying let’s be apathetic, and because it is inner just let
things be as they are. I am suggesting that while we are divided within,
we will be divided without. And we all want what we want.
The behaviour of the 1 percent are helping us to see ourselves more
clearly.
Wishing you a non-serious Sunday…
