Is it possible to care for someone so much that you would allow them to hurt you? I mean any kind of hurt, physical or emotional. I suppose love is just that - trusting someone so much that you would let them cause you harm. Because maybe you believe that deep down they really care and would never wish to cause you pain or suffering. Or you don't really believe it, but rather you just hope for it. A dwindling hope as time goes on and they continue to do the same stupid things. How are we to know when love is real? Is this irrational form of disrespect to oneself a sign of true love? Movies and popular culture seem to say so. But does that then stem from reality, or is it just made up garbage? I like to think real love is kind, compassionate. That it does not hurt, but heals. That it can conquer pain and hatred, and all of those other horrid, petty human feelings. Call me a hopeless romantic - hopelessly insane. It's just what I feel - though time and again the Universe seems to prove me incorrect. I will keep trekking; I will keep believing and hoping that this love - this ethereal concept - can actually manifest itself in my life.

World Peace and a Real Life Utopia?
This may very well be the most brilliant thing I have ever written...or not...you decide. I feel this way, because it is so simple. I'm sure many of you know of the illusive Illuminati, yes? The never-ending supply of theories behind the meaning of life, the being(s) that control our planet - or even the universe - is incredibly lucrative. I myself have become a ‘believer’ of conspiracy theories - and spiritual theories - about life as I know it. Corporations and a ‘secret society’ of the top 1 or 2 or whatever percent run the global economy and are the cause of many wars and other disasters; no, reptilian aliens control the world and are the real evil-doers behind most or all wars and disasters; no, no, God hates us except for a select few - who will be saved - and this is why we see strife, destruction in the world; or is it the cosmos and life lessons that we are all here to learn - for people to suffer because they must learn in this life and hopefully change in later lives - only to be eventually one with the Universe. These are just a small blip of ideas behind the reasoning for our circumstances. These ideas become scapegoats for our reality.
Could it be that, we humans, are just a heaping pile of whiny, selfish organisms - dazed and confused because we are so over stimulated with material wealth? Okay, so not everyone has material wealth - and some people are starving for food, clean water and other necessary things we beings require for our survival. And yet, we can look to cultures like the Hazda that live solely on what surrounds them - and live quite simply - without the destruction, aggression, petty emotions that arise in a ‘civilized,’ modern society. Why am I mentioning this, I’m sure you are wondering (I am actually wondering how it is that you have gotten this far into my post - and for that I am grateful). Because I believe there may be an even simpler answer to life as we know it.
Imagine, if you will, a real live utopia. Where people got along with each other, with differing belief systems and ideas; where food and water was shared and we saw no poverty, no depression, none of the dreadful things that plague societies. A place where everyone was happy and healthy. Many believe this is totally unattainable because humans are incapable, that there will always be evil, that we are not free of petty emotions. I would like to offer another response as to why this beautiful ideal is not an option for the current state of human beings.
Are you ready? Cause this is gonna blow your mind....we are reflectors for our problems. What I mean by this is that, we blame other people and entities for our/the world's problems. Rather, it is our daily decisions that change the world. It is all a matter of positive energy that starts within, which can be manifested in so many ways; like buying stuff, driving a car, using plastic bags, or being kind to all living organisms - most especially our planet, our life source. Now, I realize that there are people out there who do live in a conscious state. I know people like this, have met many and read amazing pieces by individuals who understand this concept of energy and living in a state of consciousness. So to this, I would like to stress the idea of not using scapegoats, such as the Illuminati or God, to put all of our energy/hatred. Though these entities may very well be a major cause of strife, we are also a large factor. This, my friends, is the first big step towards true change.
I will not lie to you about myself. As I too have, and do, place a lot of anger onto others and entities that may or may not exist; though I know in my heart that it all starts with me. People do not lie when they say that change begins on the grassroots level; and those are the very humans we should all look to for enlightenment and encouragement to make better life choices. So I say, look inward first, see the person that you are and aspire for who you would like to be. Then extend that to others in your community - seek out the help of like-minded people and together...we will change the world.
Love,
