My Contribution To the Blogging For Friendship Writing Project

The Storm Has Passed

For the first time in my entire life, I am not depressed. This may not sound like much of an accomplishment to you, but after hating myself for years, it is nothing less than astonishing to me. No longer do I blame the wicked clouds of bad luck which seemed to shadow every aspect of my being.

The storms of misery have subsided and I have learned to love myself. I have spent more time in solitude over the past year than anytime in my life. Somewhere in the loneliness, I found myself. I have never had a problem understanding who I am, it is the love which was missing.

Earlier, we learned that our good friend Janice’s brother had passed away. I have never felt sadness like this from knowing a person on line. It shows us how caring about our fellow bloggers is a beautiful thing.

Continents Divide – Nationalism Divides Even More

I have almost died more than once. From Hurricane Katrina to hitting a telephone pole at over 70 MPH and coming out unscathed has been a gift. I’ve lost most of my family and most of my lifelong friends. I have almost starved to death and died of dehydration.

At one point, I lost everything I owned (twice) and have almost lost my will to live. Basically, I have been through hell. Going through these ordeals has forced me to find the true essence of who I am. I am an individual.

I have reached a point in my life where I see things in purity. I have spiritual clarity. This means that I am now, truly a beginner in life and am truly here to live and learn. Having said that, what I see going on in this world is disturbing.

I believe that nationalism is going to be the downfall of humankind unless something is done. All I see are countries striving for independence and wars still going on. I am disappointed in America and many other nations. How can I be an individual on this planet, if I am an American?

Humankind fight like animals and people side with different groups. Why does one continent starve, while others blossom? In places where people have food, there are a small group of individuals with all the money.

There should be a limit on how large a corporation can grow. Technically, Google is not a monopoly. They are too large and they are destroying the chances for individuals to be successful. Thus we have this paradox of reality. There seemingly must be one absolute controlling force behind every nation, every company, every city.

Are we really individuals? It is inevitable that we eventually will have a one world government. People are scared of this idea! Why would it be worse than being controlled by a smaller government? We are separated geographically. Both nationalism and religion divide us even further.

I believe that if we come together as one human race under one democracy by the people for the people, we will make war a memory. I see the big picture. There will and must always be government. We are too animal like to live completely free without constraints. There must be enforced rules.

It will be under one government, that all humans will finally be individuals. I am proud to be a human being from the planet Earth! There will always be corruption, crime and hatred. Removing more and more reasons for hatred will give us all one less reason to hate. There is plenty enough food to feed all people. Still, millions die of starvation.

Some think this is a natural and necessary concept to keep the balance of life and death healthy. It is the “ecosystem” of human life. It is not. It will be what destroys us all. It is time for human kind to come together and forget our differences. These differences have been killing us. What I propose hasn’t been tried.

I also believe that as long as money is the guiding force of humanity, we come closer and closer to our own demise. Have you noticed that I never use the word “mankind”? This is because it leaves out women. Therefore I use the word, humankind.

I believe that an intelligent woman would make a better choice as a leader in any government because women tend to be better leaders naturally. Women tend to talk things through rather than resorting to violence. Think about it.

We must join as one race for the betterment of humankind. Blogging is how we start.
