I hear you on this, I really do.
I totally agree with EVERYTHING you've said and I KNOW you are on the right path.
What you have laid out is EXACTLY the single reason humanity is in the mess it is in.
HOWEVER,
No one wants to hear what you are saying!
For the very same reasons you laid out in your OP.
Egos are just too big, overfed, and powerful for most people to come to terms with the fact that THEY are the ones to blame for children getting killed in drone attacks on the other side of the planet.
It takes a certain level of........__________ to get to the point where you are finally ready to accept responsibility for everything you are seeing in the world, and to realize that YOU contributed SOMETHING to EVERYTHING you can even imagine complaining about.
I have seen these threads fail many times and yours will be no different.
People just aren't ready to hear what you have to say I'm afraid.

Sorry I stopped listening to religious dogma intended to make me responsible for the evil of others long ago. I am responsible for my own actions and no one else's.

Oh that's lovely.. Next time you pay taxes, think about where your money has gone and whether it blown up a families home in the Middle East or something.. You may not be directly responsibe for anything, but indirectly, you are just as guilty as the next person and throwing the blame else where is just arrogant. Religion isn't an issue either. But don't listen to me though, I do take responsibility and offence at the actions of my overlords. They are the ones representing me to the rest of the world btw.edit on 25-4-2013 by DarknStormy because: (no reason given)
I think "understanding" is a more appropriate 'key' than "forgiveness". We must 'understand' exactly how it is and why it is that we effect the world by our small and seemingly insignificant actions.
Peace brother.

Interesting.
I left a blank, and YOU filled it in with your own word.
100 different people would have filled in that blank with a hundred different words yet, you chose that one.
Personally, I would have chosen "awareness" but hey, that's just me.
However, upon closer inspection, "you" chose nothing.
Your "EGO" convinced you that my post was somehow directed at you and was directly accusing YOU of not having enough....."hutzpah" whatever in the hell that is.
Your ego did the only thing ego knows to do when it feels threatened.
It convinced YOU......the real YOU......to defend.
Thank you for showing us all an example of precisely what we are dealing with on a planetary level here.
Humanity is ALL effected by "ego"
Every single last one of us,.......except for "YOU" of course.edit on 25-4-2013 by GeneralChaos because: (no reason given)edit on 25-4-2013 by GeneralChaos because: (no reason given)
When we understand the tricks of "others",... when we understand the psyche, the ego, and the self... when we understand the interconnectedness of this reality,... OH BOY DO WE HAVE GREAT RESPONSIBILITY!
Are you going to fight? Rise up and rebel? Peace can only come through peace. More fighting will birth future fighting.
It's my fault. It's your fault. It's all of our fault.
Besides being positively and tirelessly active and proactive towards love, peace, freedom, and abundance,... I see no other way.
'TPTB' and Lucifer are NOT to Blame. Take 'Self' Responsibility!
