No matter what is going on in your lifee...You have choosen it.

What we have chosen…

Anger has been mounting, the world seems out of control, our leaders are corrupt, and our families are broken. Why? Is it because of the corruption? Is it because of deep rooted conspiracy to undermine our personal liberties?

We can blame our leaders until we are blue in the face. We can rally with signs. We can post memes and cry foul on every new scandal, every deceitful word in a speech, and call out all the disingenuous acts and rhetoric we see all around us. Where does that bring us? More anger? More feelings of bewilderment and helplessness?

The more we fight outward, the more we perceive we are not strong enough to overcome a ruling body, armed with insurmountable technology, far reaching propaganda, economic oppression and a military that could impose whatever they decide. How could we ever defeat that?

The first step is to realize we are not fighting that. We are fighting the fight beneath the perceived fight-- The fight within each of us that has created the whole situation in the first place.

We the people created this government. We have been distracted. We have been cruel. We have been exploitative. We have lost compassion toward ourselves and others. We have led the march to cultural decay.
