Another OWS thread/ philosophy

We all know that OWS believes it represents the 99%. We also know that this notion is in question; the Legitimacy and or direction of the movement. However I want to ask you a simple question? That question must be prefaced.

I'm not really looking for responses from people who believe in selfishness, I want truly passionate, and caring people who really want change to answer, OWS supporter or not. So here go's, When is it appropriate to give up your life, for the greater good of humanity?

For instance if you believe, that the OWS movement is revolutionary and could save the world, than when is it appropriate, to give up your life for that movement? I mean literally and metaphorically i.e.: giving up your current dreams, aspirations, desire's, and tangible ownership of your past life? Also as said, when, and or what would it take to fight, and possibly die for this movement?

When the fight is for liberty and not for a movement that wants to enact their own form of "liberty" upon others. That is when I give up my life, my livelihood, my everything.

Right now it is people that wish to have their time as King -- ruling from their perspective.

The OWS movement (or whatever comes next with a similar idea but different name) will pick up steam when people realize that the conventional things they placed trust in are not going to happen for them. When you have lost everything, its not a big sacrifice to make a stand for a better life!

This is what they don't understand...they have deprived millions and millions of any possible way of realistically coping with the system. Human beings, when cornered, tend to fight, regardless of the odds, regardless of their ability to win.

A: Always, forever, now...



Path to higher consciousness begins with childlike innocence.

Promote action to gain various types of understanding.

Condense units of such understanding to council.

Integrate this council into a single director.

Utilize director to reach out to others.

Reach out to others via sacrifice.

Become sacrifice to expand.

Expand to unite as "One."

When your belief in ”something”, whatever that something may be, that your belief in that something is greater than yourself.

When surrendering yourself to that belief will benefit and ensure the growth, safety, prosperity and liberty of everyone else.

When you care so much more for something or someone, that you willingly place yourself between the object of your love and whatever danger and injustice threatens it.

There is no one pat answer for when it is alright to risk yourself, your life or your way of life.
That is something that remains different for everyone.
If and when that time comes for you, it will be for you alone to decide and chose. When that time comes, you will know, no one will or can tell you when.

Seeing how there is not another movement in recent memory that can hold a candle to this besides the Arab Spring and continues to grow daily tells me that people do care about their future. The only 2 20th Century movements that can touch this is the Civil Rights Era of The 1950's and 1960's and Women's Suffragette movement of The 1860's through the 1910's.

This is exposing alot of lies and coverups.

The SCUM does not know how to handle this group as it's something that they haven't dealt with this ever.

For every report of violence we grow.
