I'm not sure when exactly it happened, but I remember being a young child believing, honestly believing that we would all come together, accept each other's differences and I would see world peace in my lifetime. But that didn't happen now, did it? But that's where we were moving towards in the 80's and the 90's, and then it all came to a fucking halt. Now who is to blame? If you want my honest opinion, this progress was halted here in America by the events of 9-11. This gave us an enemy, someone to reasonably express hate against based off both race and religion. From there it's not a hard sell to turn us all against ALL races and religions. It's a fucking game to them, a very profitable game that feeds off your instincts to hate. We've been pawns, they seen that the teachings of acceptance and love was not ultimately profitable, they seen a world full of love leaves defense budgets worthless (and boy is that a lot of money). You people need to wake the fuck up and start preaching love again. You abandoned your post and let the hate flow, and its really fucking sad.

The real battle is within.
This world is a place we come to to learn how to control our own actions and emotions.
Eventually we graduate to another level.
It would be correct for all of us here now to graduate together, since we are all attending the same class, but this world of duality will still exist, hopefully trending more toward the light

Finding inner peace and happiness is an ideal. Still, to believe that being upset by the things we see is an indication of our own fault does not walk the dog. The Beatles were a 1960's band.

The Beatles were a product of The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations who were right across the street from Apple Studios on Abby Rd.
I said “controlling our emotions”, not eliminating them. Anger and outrage at the state of the world is beyond appropriate, anyone who’s not isn’t paying attention or is one of ((( them))).
Problem is everyone is programmed to be pissed at each other instead of (((them))).
