What is happening out there????
I keep reading all of this terrible stuff in the paper about corruption in the highest levels of governments world wide and it makes me wonder why we are all so apathetic about the power we have to change things!
People I talk to just seem to be drifting along, unable to be shocked by increasingly awful things that are happening around them. Torture of prisioners at Abu Ghraib, people held at Guantanimo Bay without trial and closer to home for me……..our government supporting the Australian Wheat Board in paying secret commissions to Suddam Hussein’s regime (alledgedly), therefore bypassing the UN Oil for Food agreements.
Lies, lies, lies are told to us over and over and we KNOW they’re lying most of the time, but we do NOTHING about it.
WHY???????
Try something today…………….talk to someone about what’s going on in the world………………make people think and then in time maybe they will act!
We have a vote…………..people sacrificed everything in the past to ensure that we ALL have the right to vote governments in and out of power and often we take our right to vote for granted. Make your vote count the next time you have an opportunity.
Vote with your hands. Vote with your feet and vote with your voice and lets get things back on track! Lets make this world a better place for EVERYONE. For the poor, the homeless, the suffering, the sick, the marginalised and for “Joe Average” who works his bottom off to feed his family and is exploited by the system.
I’m not promoting revolution or anarchy…………….I’m asking you to THINK about the sort of world you want your grandkids to inheret and start doing something about making it a reality. Plant some trees, write some letters and let politicians know how you feel about whats happening around you, visit a refugee centre and offer to help, join a group who feed the homeless, volunteer to visit old people in nursing homes, become a mentor to a young person, adopt a pet from a shelter, clean up rubbish in your local park, talk to a lonely person……………….the list is endless.
It’s up to you what you do with the power you have to change things…………BUT DO SOMETHING……………….don’t just let the world descend into the myre…………………make your feelings known by doing something positive to improve our world!
