Anarchistbanjo's World

Lofty thoughts are nice, but what happens when you have to walk in the mud? Reality is not idealistic! When people act like animals they must be controlled. Does any of this strike a chord? Have you noticed any people acting like animals these days?

I’ve talked about assertiveness and fairness in communications and dealing with other people and I’ve talked about living in harmony with the Christ spirit that dwells in our hearts and speaks with the still small voice of our conscience. I’ve talked about how at some level we are all part of each other and we can’t hurt someone else without hurting ourselves in some way. But then reality comes in! Someone aggressive hurts us or takes something that belongs to us or takes advantage of us or of those that we love. Where’s all that fine talk about love then?

Mostly I’ve talked about empowerment and ways that we can become more empowered in our lives and in our ability to fulfill our true purpose in life whatever that may be. I’ve talked about living by example and helping others to become strong as well. Strong people can take care of themselves and they can take care of the ones they love! When we are strong and empowered we can protect and assist those that are weaker than we are. We can do this out of choice and not because we have to.

The real solution is not to protect the weak, but to help the weak become strong enough to take care of themselves! It is not to rid the world of predators, but to make predators respect us and leave us alone. In either case the solution is never to lower ourselves to the level of others, but to help others rise to the level that we are at! That means living at the highest level possible and setting as strong an example as possible to inspire others to find their own way!
