Re: [LiuSeongGungFu] Willem m. Reeders

Yes, Sir. I understand where you're coming from. Part of the problem is that
some of the ideas and notions keeping us down have been around for thousands of
years and are thoroughly entrenched in our collective psyche. We've never known
anything different. Nobody can see beyond and the few that can can't do much
about it.

For instance, somewhere along the line somebody made a pictogram of the land we
live in. On the picture, they divided the land up with lines, and then we have
"borders" and "countries". Each country has it's own culture, religion,
language, customs, etc. You run into problems when one country wants more land
for itself, border disputes, etc. People go to war and die over these stupid
lines on a piece of paper. Look at the land. There's no lines on the land.
Only on the maps.

Money. Currency. What is it? Pieces of paper, really. Everybody's slaving
away for these stupid little pieces of paper. And you can never have enough.
The sad thing is, we let people go homeless, hungry, and don't give them proper
health care because they don't have enough pieces of paper. It's pathetic and
shameful.

Manmade ideas get us into trouble. If we could live the way God/Nature
intended, we'd be a lot better off. In reality, we all have the same problems.
If we could work together, we could do a lot of good. But I doubt it will
happen in our lifetime. You're right. The system will eventually crash. There
will be overpopulation. There will be disease and famine. Fossil fuels will
run out. There will be problems that everyone on the planet will have to deal
with. Eventually we will be forced. Until we're forced, it won't happen. It's
too inconvenient.

I'm definitely looking forward to meeting you in person!

Dave

Hey David, Willem here and thanks for the message. Im glad you understand
what I was trying to say. I hadnt posted on this forum yet and I wanted to
so I figured I would tell it like it is. I dont understand why for instance
people
pump gas instead of growing crops. We really dont need cars and roads and
housing,stores, schools, military and what have you. We could do it all on our
own. The problem is  people wont let you do what you want without taking
what you have. So here we are stuck in a fake world when the real one is right
in front of us.I feel that man is its own worst enemy. Tribe against tribe,
brother
against brother. Thats how it is and its never going to change.With our
intellagence
you would think that we could figure out how to take care of ourselves and
each other without a concrete jungle. Its power and big mony, religion, race,
and crime that rules our world.Not love.Whats going to happen when it all
crashes? We go back to horses and farms the way it should be.This system
we live in cannot last forever.And unless we figure out a way to leave the
planet
and colonize other worlds we are doomed as a species. Enyway Im sick of
what I see and I dont know the answer.I do know people are just plain bad.
Its best to stay away and do your own thing. Ill see you in Rochester!
No more negativity.                                Willem
