-My thoughts on currency envisioning myself speaking to a crowd-
If nobody needed money then the world would live in peace
my granny told me mother earth had plenty food for everyone but people take it for themselves
Made me wonder why we even needed money in the first place
forget looking fancy I just want the world to live in harmony
It's disturbing to see the lack of compassion shown among fellow earth dwelling human beings because of the differences money makes us have
Creating a system of currency to use money is the reason so many people are sinning
If I didn't need 10 dollars to survive and try to support myself I wouldn't have to worry
If societies' views on what is socially acceptable and what is a desireable lifestyle to live, weren't so based on what the person owned or how financially well off he or she was the I feel the world would be better off
Teenage boys and girls wouldn't be so inclined to fit in and be accepted by their peers
And the mothers that couldn't afford the idiotic trinkets and brand name clothes are the ones behind the curtains suffering
Not only is it emotionally discomforting having to see her kid crying because he doesn't fit in
She also has the pains deep inside her soul knowing she couldn't make her baby happy.
Talk about a mother's job being thankless.
I think the feeling of being a failure as a parent causes a lot of adults to suffer their own depression,
making them into an emotional train wreck instead of being that super hero the child had come to know as their mom or dad.
If everyone just stopped for a minute to think about the work they do just to survive and put food on the table, they'd see it's really silly.
It's almost like the nightmare that slipped in and took a seat at the table when nobody was looking.
Alot of people know it's rediculous working every day but know that they have to, because other wise they will lose their home and their family will starve.
All because this little thing called currency, that which enabled man(in my opinion) to destroy the planet.Think about your life if money didn't exist. Sure there wouldn't be a new phone to buy every week But there would be a mutual feeling of peace and serenity amongst the nations. Families wouldn't be torn apart by stress because they're not sure where there next loaf of bread comes from.
Its like the life nobody needed but we live anyway cause we never knew any better.
We grow into what we see around us and it's normal. It's what your whole life is based on.
... getting educated in order to survive in this world because without money you won't survive
and without an education, you won't get a good enough job to support the ever rising cost of living.Instead of simply just getting educated to figure out how to make the world better for our grand children's grand children's grand children.
Who let this happen? None of the work we do is signifigant to anything thatkeeps us breathing unless you're a doctor of some sort.None of the jobs we have keep the earth orbiting around the sun and spinning to hold it's people upon it's surface. It spins alone, we're the ones who made it complicated.
We've spiraled into a fake dreamworld where children grow up knowing that it's survival of the fittest and who can be the richest, or the prettiest.
When really, it should be survival for all that are along for the ride.
Somewhere along the line we lost all sense of who we are
Somewhere along the way we forgot how to feel the same connection with our neighbor, As the connection we felt with our mothers the first time she held us in her arms.
The connection that all people of this beautiful planet should have but lost
somewhere along the way..
As we advance through the years in this time line, progressively the earth is losing it's resources and they're burning faster every day because 1 person wanted to keep his bread and not pass it to the other 4 individuals around him. Nobody would have to hurt if we were able to come to an understanding.
An understanding that our concepts of life we've known for so many generations can no longer apply to a world that has been abused and treated with such carelessness for so long because of greed and want for more.
Everyone could have a place to live if there wasn't a price to be payed to have a roof over your head.
Granny said that the earth had enough for everybody but people take it for themselves, let's reconsider. Let's live in peace amongst each other happily.

-This is just a little bit of thought I did on the images the media makes of the ideal man/woman and some thoughts I have on the subject Not very relevant but I'd think an interesting thought or two, to consider.-
Nobody would be considered ugly or different in the eyes of many if there was nothing that made us have a collective opinion on what's appealing and what isn't. Every individual would use their originally unique opinions and ideas of what THEY as an INDIVIDUAL considered acceptable or what they fancied about a person's QUALITIES. For example dating a woman because she was intellegent and made you laugh, instead of dating a woman cause she's got an amazing rack and a size 0 waste.
We've come to know what we see around us, what we think is acceptable is the image that was made acceptable by the people that are admired by the younger generations. The people that the television displays as "the acceptable man and woman" are completely different and outrageously far from reality and what really should be considered acceptable. Women on television are extremely thin and have big breasts and huge buns. It tends to turn you away from thinking that a chubby girl would be just as suitable of a lover, if not better. What really should matter but seems to not, is our own opinion.
I had a dream that I was on a planet that seemed so identical to the earth the only difference was that the famous women and actresses were all morbidly obese, yet, for some ironic reason, in this lucid dream, all the men were still attracted to them in the same exact way. The skinny girls had no boyfriends cause to be obese was considered the sexiest thing ever. It made me think about what I've come to consider an ideal woman in physical appearance, of course I'm an 18 year old hormone pumping male, and first thing that came to mind was a big pair of breasts slim waist and a giant butt! Strange, but so interesting to think about that idea;
That we think the way we do for a reason.
I started to think about what exactly that reason was and it pointed right back to the television and what the media displayed to me as an acceptable man, or the ideal woman.
Sometimes I wonder why we can't just create these acceptable attributes and features on our own? Why are there never any chubby women on television? Realistically the women you see on television are not anywhere near your average woman in the physical appearance section. It's just too much to ask for of the woman that lives and works in the American society. Those women probably don't eat anything but a rice cake the entire day and it's depressing for women I'm sure to see men drooling over these chicks on the telly and they can't even get their pants down a size. Not to mention their constant aging and skin sagging as they reach the middle age.
It's emotionally beating on them I'm sure. Perhaps the media should be a little more considerate of the people, and provide a realistic view of who we are and what we look like. All the people I see on television are either extremely fit and appealing sexually or ugly and a great actor, or ugly but extremely hilarious. It's almost unreal to think that a man or woman working 48 hours a week can maintain themselves to be in such a shape that would be seen in a womans underwear catalog or a men's suit warehouse cover page.
Just a thought, odd, off topic but I long to spread ideas that would better the people around me.
It's time for planet earth to change. Lose the old state of mind and think today. let's pave the way to a better life for the generations to come...
