I feel my job is to pick up others who cannot pick themselves up. We were living in our extremely tiny lives when this whole time were apart of this giant Earth all interacting.
That is the awakening.

They even resort to spying on me and my family dressed up as a kite, which I filmed and uploaded to Youtube.

I wish for many to realize the power of that statement. I am coming from personal experience in that when I had retired from the military after serving 20+ years active duty in June 2009, we were KNEE DEEP in the midst of this current depression. Well in short...I lost absolutely everything. After having a 700+ credit score damn near my entire adult life I was essentially forced into bankruptcy due to not qualifying for unemployment and finding out that out of the 50+ resumes I was sending out each week, I would be lucky to snag a single interview out of it and even then I would find out that I was having to compete with between anywhere from 8 to 12 candidates for each position who were WAY MORE qualified than I was due to them not being able to get the jobs that they are qualified for....so it became a domino effect.
Anyways before I get to rambling on...I am now "making it" (nowhere near what I believed that I am qualified for, but after the year and a half that I had to go through, and the very humbling experience that it was I am happy to be able to have ANYTHING right now), but my point is....is that the ONLY reason that I am "making it" is due to others...many that were complete strangers that owed me NOTHING extending me out a lifeline and picking me up. I will be forever indebted to those total strangers for "bending" a few rules here and there, going outside their normal duties out of empathy and compassion, man you name it.
Because let me tell you, or please allow me to give those of you that have been fortunate enough to have been spared the hardships that I had no choice but to endure...and that is the way that our "SYSTEM" is setup and designed is that ONCE YOU ARE DOWN, IT IS DESIGNED TO KEEP YOU DOWN!! Plain and simple. I went from having the life...Porsche 996 911 Carrera, fully modified BMW M3 E46 AC Shnitzer modified car, blah blah blah (ALL OF WHICH I WILL NEVER BECOME A PRISONER TO EVER AGAIN BTW), but to go from that to where the nice and friendly bank people would talk to you to be all of a sudden a worthless POS that is looked at upon as being that of a criminal now!! And that once you lose all of your credit cards and are forced to have to use Debit Card for everything...boy oh boy is that a whole other story in itself!!
So in closing (this post has already become WAY longer than I had originally anticipated it to be), to extend a lifeline to those of our fellow humanity that needs it and help them to come back up is probably one of the best things that we can do during these very difficult times. Thank less of yourself and more of others will make a huge difference in the final outcome of things....IMO.

I have to agree with other responses to this post.
As much as I agree with your cynisism, you come across as a proper cock. Sort it out mate.

Ah, using bitter sarcasm like an oppressive hammer to pummel spiritual enthusiasm! Classic, and always guaranteed to get responses. But why? Does this thread offend you, or anger you?

why can't we just have a nice convo of sharing information instead of fighting all the time ,if you don't feel this then fine ,there's no need to come out with things like "this is a load of crap" or "your on drugs for believing this gobbledeegook".....if you are feeling this then type a post about it. how simple can it be?
i didn't create this thread as a debate ,this thread isn't here to try and prove any thing.edit on 18-2-2011 by AdamJagger1111 because: (no reason given)

Cant argue with ya.
Humanity is constantly learning from the past, and understanding the world differently. Often for the better. I just dont think that this time is particularly special, aside from it being one of great uncertainty and change.
I bet people in 1914 felt a whole lot like we do now, with so much change happening in such a short period. But to wake up and suddenly "feel it" doesnt make sense. Were all "feeling it", constantly, all the time. Just because a person is excited about all the protests on the news shouldnt warrent a thread like this every week.
But hey, im not the thread police, just my opinion.

You have your new shiny armor on, and I, my newfound shield of love..!
We ought to be stepping outside the box of an outmoded materialist monism, that's for sure, so if by outside, you mean outside the box, with the ability to look and think and see anew with new eyes, then sure, and I don't mind if you take a run at me oh shiny one all armored..
Just remember, that what we measure out is measured back to us, sometimes three fold, and you've been generating quite of bit of ill will for a while now, so something's accumulating and something will have to move at some point, and it could end up being you, off your high horse.
BRAVO!
