Hi,
I'm writing to you now from a very different world to the one I wrote from last time. My last post was written from a world of hope and possibility, I really believed the world might change for the better on the 7th of May. But it didn't and so here we are again.
But the thing is, I still believe the world will change. I am surrounded by the tutting and sighing of people who think the election was our last chance to change the course that this government had set us on. I am surrounded by pessimists. Who are changing their minds.
Because we can still change the world, and people are. There are hundreds of Facebook groups and information on surviving the new issues that arise with the Tories back in power. People are pulling together and just like so many people have been saying (Russell Brand, Ghandi and my mum for starters) The world will change from the bottom up, a peaceful revelation of ordinary people living freely and equally and giving the minority of rich/unfair ruling people no chance but to live and work along side everyone else. Controversial, isn't it?
Equality has meant many things to many different people, but to me it means that every sentient creature on and off of our planet has a fair chance. OK so we naturally kill tiny germs on our bodies by just living, and yes people step on ants without meaning to every day. But to think of all creatures as living feeling things gives us our humanity, it gives us a conscience and a heart.
Living in peace with our environment has been going on for centuries but most of the people who do it have often been middle class wannabe hippy types :) Fortunately for them, if you wannabe a hippy, that is what you tend to become and look at us, the whole world is full of hippies. People who just want to survive in peace and be left alone to be happy. It's what everyone wants and if that makes us hippies then I'm happy to be a hippy, better that than the alternative.
So maybe this is the darkness before the dawn, and maybe some kind of change or revolution is coming. If so, count me in.
keeping positive is all we really can do for now, but equality will prevail, through pure will power if nothing else. I'm in a wonderful mood today and this is our secret weapon... positivity!
This is only my view of the world of course and disagreements are encouraged.
all the best for the revolution, and all my love to everyone (even those few people I dislike)
Because nothing will ruin my good mood today, please keep yours.
