You don't need an introduction to be in anywhere, that's the beautiful thing of life that we haven't really discovered. The world needs more open minded people and I am glad you are one of them.
You aren't crazy, believe me. I know myself and others that are just like you- we don't fit in to that 9-5 job and we find these numbingly boring people who are happy with this lifestyle hard to handle...at least in my opinion.
You aren't alone and I am glad you stumbled upon this forum just like I have. Keep checking back, the world needs more people like us. More people to talk to and to make changes with. I look forward to talking with you more and I hope Tupi find some kind of solice here :)
I absolutely believe what you have explained makes sense.
I have really been focused on the idea of the monetary system and corruption in the government recently, it probably had a lot to deal with the country I live in and the amount of materialism and ignorance that takes place. I think there is much more going on behind the scenes that we aren't aware of, puppet masters controlling the strings of our lives in this endless loop. We serve and slave in 9-5 jobs for people we will never know, people who are greedy and relentless. I cannot live in a society like this, I can't live knowing that my existence is made to serve that 1% and to ensure that they always have a golden throne to rest on. It's so much more than that though, so much more than me. I think of all the starving, the poor, the many individuals who suffer each day because they failed at the riches game called the "American Dream". I cannot believe that we as human beings are so quickly able to turn our cheeks on those who need us, knowing that we would suffer if we were in their position. It's almost as if we forgot how to be human in order to make money, we have traded compassion for money, compassion for a number in a system that doesn't truly exist. We would let another living being suffer, hurt, cry, and wish that they would die everyday while we sit on our own thrones trying to be the next best thing. The irony of it is that most of us trying to chase this dream will never achieve true happieness, there always seems to be a void.
The government has alterior motives other than serving the people which puzzles me as that is what it was created for. Somehow they have taken control of the population (on a global scale) to benefit themselves- more power for those with money, more money for those in power. Less money for those who are less willing to comply, less happiness for those who aren't capable or those who won't play into their scheme. Sometimes I feel like it's too late, they have already taken over to an uncontrollable extent. We have have become so comfortable with having someone to blanker for our depression and failing dreams while they have found comfort in working us to the bone to benefit themselves. The government is literally making a profit on our misery and they are only prohibiting us from evolving in so many different ways.
I feel like I can no longer contribute to this society. I can't be a hypocrite and I don't want to be the one to sit around and talk about a change but never act on it. I have spent far too many years being that exact person by it cannot continue any longer.
I do however want to comment on your point of viewon spirituality. I am not " religious" but I am spiritual. As you do, I believe that we are "light" and have so much more of a purpose than what we play here in earth. We are apart of so much more that we haven't discovered yet and we belittle ourselves by focusing on success and work on such a small scale. I used to have such a skewed and angry perception of religion. I thought it was ridiculous to believe in a higher power and to praise the unknown. However, now stepping in to my own type of spirituality, I no longer feel so angry and judge mental of others type of beliefs as long as it is benefiting the world and the human race. I believe in kindness and equality, that's all I want. If that religion and God makes that human happy as long as they are using it for good, then it doesn't bother me. We fuel religion as a type of war now and I know that's not the purpose.
I just want the world to be able to work together we for the right reasons. I want to protect the environment together, save the planet that sustains our life so perfectly. I want to protect the plant for itself as well as for our species. The world will continue with or without us and it's starting already. She is starting to realize that we are poison to her- we are polluting her and taking all of her natural resources and she is starting to fight that poison by global warming and other various factors. That will kill us and she will survive, it's either we fight now or we will never have the chance. I want that chance and we should all want that chance, but the world needs to work together to achieve this or it won't work.
Hi everyone, I just want to introduce myself to everyone as I was just accepted today. My name is Kayla, I am a 21yr old female, and am from MN. I found this web forum by accident (believe it or not) by searching on google but now that I am here, I realize this was exactly what I was looking for.
For a few years now I have felt as if I was getting lost in the world. I never had a lot in common with my family due to my lack of faith I. Religion and the government. This happened to b th case with a lot of "friends" as we grew older as well. I went to a local college right out of high school but ended up failing out 3 years in because I can joint find the motivation or the purposeful meaning around the the subjects they were teaching the students. I have found what society calls "success" at an early age by beginning to close in the corporate ladder and making a bunch of money, however, no amount of status or materialism has satisfied me.
Over the last year specifically I have felt like I have found myself more than any other time in my life. I look back on my younger years and all I can see was a really angry and oppressed child who couldn't find her place and no one to really connect with. Now that I am older it's starting to make more sense.I have always kept my opinions regarding religion, politics, the government, and the environment to myself up until this past year. I was always so afraid of offending someone that I forgot to no t offend myself and stand up for myself. Now that I have finally gotten here I am ready to reach out and get in touch with others who feel this way.
I promise I will post more later in more detail, but here is a summary of how I feel different. A lot like Hope (from reading the past posts) I feel stuck in the 9-5 routine and no money or benefit package can satisfy me. I feel like my job on this planet is so much more than that. I want to be the one to dedicate my life to the planet and the world. I feel like I should be protecting the planet and all that comes with it- animals, humans, insects, and anything you could name. I fully believe that everything on this earth has a purpose and it's our job to find that reason. I also am very skeptical of the practices of our government on a global scale- not just in my home country. I feel as if money has become the top priority over human life and well being and I go to bed feeling sick every night thinking about it. I hate the inequalities that come with money- in my right mind, I cannot understand how we can pretend that the lack of "funding" is an actual excuse for us to let humans starve, to not give them shelter, a free education, clean water, misc. I feel like the money system is just an excuse for that 1% to stay rich and "free" while the rest of the world figures it out. I have also never fallen into a religion that I felt comfortable believing in- I always felt that The human race was made for a reason and intentionally- for a higher reason that we may never know. Even with that being said, I also feel like this life isn't a one and done deal- I'm not sure if we go to other dimensions or are reborn again- but I can't believe that it's really over when this one host (body) has to die. I just feel like our society has stopped evolving in so many different ways and I feel as if there are certain people behind this calling the shots. I also feel like government and religion express laws and ideas that aren't the right choices for living beings and the planet- I don't think they have the best intentions for us at heart.
There is so much more that I want to communicate and express. I know that the last few posts were far and in between but I am hoping to see a revival on this form. I can't imagine that any of the people here have lost this special feeling and I hope we can all reconnect. I really want to makbe a difference in this world and I am looking for people to help me. We, the human race have so much more to live for and so much moe to contribute to this plant. I am so excited to meet and talk with some of you, this is what I have been looking for.
