paradigm shifts

they're all the new rage
from the mayan calendar and 2012
to the age of aquarius
to the year of the black water dragon
to the green revolution
we are up to our ears in how the world is going to change
but what everyone keeps forgetting is that the world doesnt changed. the world adapts. to our change. if we dont change the world just keeps going and eventually it will adapt us out of existence. WE have to change, and grow and EVOLVE. that is the word of the moment. not the year, or the times, or the day. NOW, right this second. cops are arresting bystanders for pointing out their indiscretions. its illegal to smoke a plant. people still cant marry their lifepartners bc a dogmatic sect that happens to pervade our culture is scared to death of anything not outlined in their little book of bedtime stories. and here we are worried about how the 'world' is going to change.
when are we going to stand up and shout for OURSELVES to change.
in our country we are experiencing all time lows in primary and secondary education levels of achievement, we are at an all time HIGH for cost of post-secondary - see 'college', if some of it can be called that - and yet you cannot even acquire many entry level jobs without selling your soul to the Lowest bidder in an auction that is subsidized by the federal government. here we are scraping to send our kids to college and by the time they are done, many have the equivalent of an upside down mortgage, with a capsized lifeboat for an education and a choice - or not - of jobs that wouldnt get them out of debt - just for their education - if they worked at it full time for 15 years.
what are we supposed to do with this?!?!?!? huh? please explain to me how indebting our children, indenturing our future, and incapacitating our education system is furthering our evolution.

this 'shift' is coming from the wrong direction. this shift is spoken of in the wrong terms. this shift is a mirage.

the paradigm we need to change is US. our entire social structure. i could reference any politician, or yogi, or economic guru, or techie geek and they would all tell you that changes are happening, that we are on the verge of this or that revolution, but the STATUS QUO isnt changing. we still have massive poverty, massive inequality, massive intolerance and not a fucking thing that leads me to believe anyone wants to change it.

if there is a god, he hates us all. he thinks us weak. he wonders what the fuck he was thinking wasting his time on such a worthless bunch of maggots. ok that may be a bit harsh, but come on guys.
we are spiritual beings having a human experience, and yet the vast majority of us have become so enthralled by the consumerist lifestyle, by the elitist rants, by the marketing schemes, that all we want is to rot away deciding if we have 'problems' that maybe the 'situation' would know how to handle. WTF people. how are two douche bags from jersey on a show about a place they arent even from making millions because the lot of us condone their ineptitude at life; while pining over every little action they take and foaming at the mouth wishing we could have their lives? riddle me this batman. explain to me why we all want to know more about some 'real housewives' than the things our own kids are doing in school. why are we parked in front of a tv instead of questioning why there are not at LEAST 3 days a week of school chock full of afternoon activities for our kids, or new plays for them to be involved in, or some new community program that maybe you could start if you would get off you pathetic ass and stop watching American Fucking Idol.

stop living vicariously through the 1%. start embracing the gift you have called a life. start remembering that you woke up breathing and that is the greatest opportunity you will ever have to make a difference. start acting like each breath is a blessing. show #GRATITUDE to the universe that the sun hasnt exploded taking the whole stinking lot of wastes of space that we are and engulfed us in a solar flare.

paradigm shifts.
they are replacing 'green' as the new black
