Spiritual Leaders

The problem as I see it with many groups of people and possibly larger America is the lack of a solid leader. "What about the President?!" you ask. What about the President? What about any politicians? What about any corporate leaders? To hell with them all. The people need someone that is fighting for them and no other reason. Not someone that is in bed with a corporate entity or with a hidden agenda. No, we, the people, need a leader that puts in the effort to protect us, our families, and our environment. Achieving this is harder said than done because we all have differing ideals and our own agendas. Ultimately I feel that I have the answer, in part.

The answer is this: to hell with your ideals and your agendas! There are fundamental unifying needs that we all have and we all truly do want. The people need to be fed, the people need to be healthy, the people need to be educated, and the people need to feel needed. All this needs to also coincide with a healthy environment through-and-through. It seems to me that we're all so selfish and childish about who is going to pay for it and who is going to put in the effort. The answer is everyone! Hunger, famine, poverty; these are not an individual or groups weight they are all of our sufferings. If you're republican and make more than the rest of us than help shoulder some more weight and be put up on a pedestal for being a great person. If you are barely scraping by than donate your time, for Christ sakes.

This all boils down to, I think, complacency! I'm complacent with the way things are so I keep going on with how things are; unhappily. I'm guilty of it too. This 8-5 job thing and paying bills thing is easy, its the easy way out - but there is more to it. So many people in our country are so complacent that they do not even care. Starving people in Africa, not their problem. Starving people in New York, not their problem. Starving people in their town, Still not their problem? You have got to be kidding me, people...

So what is my point, am I just going to whine about selfish people not feeding the homeless? Not at all. The point to my ranting is that us complacent people lack a leader. We need a leader to stand up for the people and make us angry. Yes, we need to be mad because anger implies an understanding of a plight. I want people to be mad about the hungry people. I want people to be angry about our economy. I want everyone to be pissed of the corporations running our lives! With anger comes change and with change (hopefully) comes unity and a unification of the people for the people.

Yeah, label me a socialist but thats not entirely true; I'm a "people-ist." I don't care about government, I don't care about policies, and I sure as hell don't care about man-made laws. I care about unity, peace, harmony, and love - for all. Lets all stand up, together, and accomplish something for the well-being of everyone. Start small, spread the harmony~
