The hustle and bustle of life, extra pressure of things costing more, people earning less and seemly less jobs on the market, financial turmoil, political unrest and added stress of challenging relationships...
“So what...?”
Is there a new way to live...? To develop closer community ties when most of us are on the computer all the time staring at an inhuman screen? When we cram onto commuter trains while the top executives of banks and major corporations who can control the markets through big advertising budgets and crushing the small competitors lounge in luxurious decadence...?
This tirade of what life can be viewed as will over spill eventually and I will transform it into a positive accepting view of the world... Accepting and challenging the status Quo to be better, based on gross domestic happiness rather than gross profit as the Dalai Lama recently said and how Bhutan runs their country (they have banned smoking and television by the way, as they found it contributed to their people being less happy...)
There is the rub – how can we create a new community based on better values, based on community and support rather than capital and currency...
We need more community values, this is happening, how about this:
Communities of people, single people, couples, families sharing work, skills and love unconditionally, being ecological, sustainable, growing their own crops on land, living locally supporting each other. Working towards improving their wellbeing and contentment and most importantly celebrating existence....
I don’t mean a beer and a fag and believe me I’ve learnt this too, we don’t REALLY need anything to celebrate life just life itself is enough to celebrate, the beauty of nature, people, the shape of the clouds and SPA-ARKLE of reflected light...
How are we going to do this...?
Answers on a postcard to GOD...Or Supreme Beingness (Or just send me some ideas...)
