If we want change in the world we must change ourselves.  A simple, perhaps overused, phrase that holds the secrets of our dreams and our hopes.  Put down the phones and look up.  Shut the car in the garage and ride your bike.  Go for a walk…in another country.

Need to lose weight?  Quit eating so much.

Need to be happy? Find what makes you happy and pursue that.

Change will come no matter if we make changes or not.  We will change no matter if we decide to or not.  Run, do not walk, away from the thought that everything will stay the same.  It will not.  It does not; and it never has.

Want to see the world?  Start planning and go do it.

Want to become a better person?  Figure out how and live accordingly.

Change is always hard and it is not always for the best, but it is inevitable.  Make the best of it, and make the best of your life.  There’s no other time than now.

Life.  Life is not special, but what is is the awareness of it.  We are aware that we are alive and we are capable of understanding, of thinking about that awareness.  This is what is special.

We are caught up in the evil of the world, and there is much evil in the world.  In order to change this evil, however, we must become aware of what we are doing with our lives.  This evil has power over us as long as we give it power; as long as we live a life of routine, of acceptance of our own routines, evil wins.

It really is that simple.  There is no secret here; change does not come from the top, it does not trickle down.  Change comes from individuals deciding to break from routine, deciding to break from the ritual of work, buy, fuck, sleep.

We do not have to be born, work, and die.  We can be born, live and become exhausted with a smile on our face and memories in our heads.

To live life, we must break the routine.

Sometimes it helps to be honest.

Sometimes philosophy offers answers, not just questions.

Impossible obsolesence.

Sometimes it’s just time for a nap.

Sometimes, to save the world, the answers how are right over our noses.

Sometimes one must simply listen to the other voice.

Sometimes music speaks louder than words.

Morning after morning, after morning the coffee is brewed and we sit on our couches and drink it often in silence.  Getting dressed for work and a bite to eat, and perhaps out the door or over to the home office to start work.

Work with some breaks, perhaps a bit more coffee and the work day comes to an end.  Back home, sometimes with anticipation.  Dinner, maybe a walk, and of course the ubiquitous T.V.  And then bed.  Hmmm.
