Idk if its just me but is there something im not seeing that personal accountability doesnt seem to matter in a lot of instances. I know the question seems kind of broad but theres so many things i see in my daily life and just stories upon stories i hear from people about problems they have, which probably could have been averted had they not participated or made the decision they made. I know alot of issues and dealings with people have to be looked at on a case by case basis but some of the reason i hear people use with regards to some issues they have. One of my boys got a picture from some girl he was talking to and she got mad and went all crazy cause the picture got out there. Im not defending him cause it is messed up on his part, but did it ever cross her mind that maybe i shouldnt do this cause x y o z could happen. Also i relate this to products offered by big corps i know the people who run them are money hungry and could care less about people as long as they buy buy buy. But people complain about some of them as if they are forcing us to buy their products. Again not defending them because they do evil crazy **** and the lobbying and money they throw at politicians and all that. How is it that we somehow whether its consciously or subconsciously jusify getting mad when we have alot of say in alot of matters. People get mad at bank fees, well manage the money on your on or better handel your budget. Try and avoid over drafts fees. Do people just not care and we have to accept it. I tend to think very black and white about alot of things but im in no way unaware of the grey area. But theres just so much things people do while being consciously aware of what they are doing and know the possible consequences that may happen, but they somehow try to justify to themselves and everyone that they are at no fault. Humans why do we do this ahhhhhh.
The answer is simple. Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Become aware in all subjects. Then make the change. Starts with your dollar. Don't watch tv. Don't go to the movies. Pirate that ****. Don't go to Safeway. Don't go target. Go to your local farmers market. Stop consuming. Stop buying **** you don't need. Jordan's, iPhones, 70 inch flat screens. I understand it's hard to do because look what website brought us all here; one dedicated to the blind sheep obsession of shoes.
These corporations are evil. They want you dumb, sick, unhappy dependent on their corporations and slaving away to buy **** you don't need. I took the approach of not buying material goods if they aren't karma free. And that only came with upping my awareness and compassion and realizing there is no such thing as us and them. There's only us; earthlings. So if you're directly or indirectly contributing to the abuse of human kind, animals and planet earth, then you are part of the problem. Want to fix those things? Disconnect yourself from the system, change yourself and that's the ultimate middle finger to them.
Sounds crazy because we were purposely raised the opposite way, but I feel in my heart all of what I said is absolute truth, not my truth, but absolute truth for all of us. I won't tell people how to live, but I can show people documents, documentaries, and podcasts and once they are aware and they know how they can make a difference, the choice will be up to them.
After I learned the truth and figured out that I was part of the problem, the change was easy. Can't live with myself knowing I'm contributing to the evil in the world.
Not saying shoes and phones aren't cool, but I know there is a better way to do it then to have people suffering because I was brainwashed into wanting some crap that does nothing for me.
They don't give a **** about you. They only care about money. If we change how we spend our money they will have to change. It's simple capitalism. They will have to make karma free good if we're demanding it. They'll have to change the menus and ingredients at fast food places if were not buying that poison.
It's all possible and I'm very optimistic.
