What's up? I'm new around here but I got a video I'd like you guys to check out: An Open Letter To All Mankind I pretty much feel like this is how it really is in the world along with all kinds of other bullshit that's going on (as I'm sure we all do), but unlike the video implies, I don't think anything is ever going to change, except maybe for the worse. This notion becomes more apparent to me as time goes by. At the moment, my life is easy (my parents' life on the other hand is a different story as I'm sure is the case for most of us), I am young, and I have very little responsibility. While I know that that can't last forever, I can't help but look around and just feel like the way that the world is functioning right now is just not tolerable. Something is just not right around here.. People aren't right. I wonder how long it can keep going like this. Part of me feels like it can't be much longer, but I'm sure that that is only wishful thinking.. I see what has happened to our past generations. I see the madness around me.. I do not think that I have it in me to do what our parents did, to participate in the charade. I don't really see how anyone does, but not too many people seem to agree with me where I am from, which is beginning to frighten me.. I mean, not really, but it is certainly tragic.. In a bittersweet sort of way, I suppose. But, that's life. Then again, I live in a pretty shitty part of the country; maybe people around here are just slow? So I ask you all, does the public in your area feel the same as I? Or is it a rare blessing to be one of the poor souls out there who is this painfully aware of how unbalanced our world is?

I'm also young with few responsibilities and sensitive to the unfortunate social situation we find ourselves in...

It's the challenge of the time though, I see it as a great fall that we will learn so much from as a species. It's easy to see; through the internet, and this video even, that many people are realizing (or feeling that realization) across the world.

We happen to be born into this time, we have had the realization and now it's a matter of facing it and working it into our own becoming I guess...

So far I reckon I want to help the revolution take place... just working out how now, in a world where it seems almost everything has been said and done. But reflecting on it every day seems like a good start

Good vid. But you need to take the quotes out of your link.

I dont know how much being young has to do with it these days. Sure there is a generation gap like always but I see it everywhere. I am 27 and I know people from 18 or 19 to 60+ that feel the same way as the rest of you. I used to trip with like 50 year olds when I was 23 and had more in common with them than I did with alot of people near my age. I think if you can see it than you just see it. I also know alot of people in they're early to late 20's that dont see it and seem to think the world is just perfect right now and seem naive to the idea of sustainability.

The generations of the 60's and 70's are largely still here with us and they changed so much of this world for us. The younger people now have these older generations to relate to and vice versa. I hope we have hit a point where humanity will finally open up they're eyes and do something collectivly.

I use to be as optimistic as all of you but I'm starting to think that there have been people like us for a long time, like decades... Yet we are still stuck. I honestly don't see how we made it this far without change, but here we are.. I agree the 60s and 70s are still very much here and that it did change much of the world, but still not enough. Not even close really, in my eyes. Although, I suppose, one giant leap for all mankind is all it would take to get the ball rolling, but, I'm not holding my breathe.. *sigh* Oh well, thankfully I'm intelligent enough to thrive in any environment, I just feel so bad for the many around me who aren't.. I don't know, sorry to be a debbie downer just had to get this off my chest.. Hope you're all holdin' up out there.

These videos were in a comment on that video. I believe they go well with this. It was my first time seeing these but I'm sure some people here have probably seen these already but for those who have not enjoy

Are we civilized yet?

Are we humanized yet?

Are we educated yet?

Nice video



I agree, there's a lot of people out there that have been doing work to make a better world for a long time, there's people of all ages, some have been at it for years, some are just waking up to it, like me



I really feel like we are about to see that in the next few years. Obviously I can't say for sure, I'm no expert and I don't know everything, but, I really feel like we are heading into a very interesting and positive time. Although I think things are likley going to be very rough for quite a lot of people before things get better. We will make it.

I recommend this page for my friends: http://www.lawofpower.com/articles/?cat=19
It covers most the bad things going on. Then they in turn raise awareness once I get them worked up enough. I usually skip the Israeli videos though to get to the good stuff. I find allot of people in my community want to do something, but can't because they fear a repressive regime. I have got my friends to tolerate a little awareness by cutting them off from contact with me until they admit somethings wrong and get over their denial. Allot of people would rather believe everything's going to be sunshine & flowers no mater how trashed their retirement account becomes. Some people base their self worth, or esteem for that matter upon how deep in debt they get buying things, etc. Those kinds of people I give mental karate to. Hi-Ya!
