you forgot to put 'none the less'
you forgot to put 'none the less'
all the points have been made
its none the more in this case
"See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes.
He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."
it makes sense none the less
all the points have been made
We all will be unified one day - when we all are in cuffs depending on the cuffer to feed us
no wait, we already live that
The title of the thread is so trueUnity generates power to change reality
and shown in many forms
Peace To New York
I think unity is a dream.
Change starts with inside oneself.
Mahatma Gandi said something like become the change u like to see.
I see that most people are selfish. They do not see that in unity we can achieve all our goals. Some people just want it all at the expence of others. They view shit as a competition which it now is cuz they have decided to compete-- self-fulfilling prophecy.
Lack of trust. Some think others are out to get whatever they can, so we think we must do the same.
Some people are just cold hearted and don't give a fuck. That's why.
so what should we do to get rid of these barriers that prevent us from unifying ?
i think that religion also plays a big part in why we are so separated
Self righteousness
Fear of people being planted into a movement by opposition
a lack of understanding the symptoms of racism in our people
the need to stay on the grind - when you are constantly at work, you have no time to organize a situation as a collective that will fight the conditions and bring about sure change
Money and Economic status - those that gain a certain status thats deemed respectable in this society, often shun off those who don't chase the same dream as themselves
My guess is that people have to develop good character within themselves for start.
thats also a part of the problem
no one is good enough for anyone
that falls under these 2 barriers
Self righteousness
a lack of understanding the symptoms of racism in our people
often we are are looking at someones character flaws or dis ease - and we dismiss them right away - we think we are better - this thinking of ours is an illusion - we are only puzzle pieces in the big picture - not wanting to fasten ourselves to other puzzles pieces because of the shape they are in
theres another picture BTW
What I mean is that many people are disrespectful, selfish, too nosy, insulting, criticising. And people need to develop themselves by:
-being respectful to others who show no harm,
-accepting others beliefs/ways of doing things and realizing we all have our own paths and levels of intelligence/understanding
-seek cooperation with others and not being antaganistic
-do not insult others who do not insult us
-do not deceive others who are not in our way or are not against us
in any way
I think what u are talking about is arrogance. Arrogance should be eliminated too cuz and is a weakness that isolates and is the cause of disrespecting others.
I think most people could agree that we need to do these things I have listed. Our own intelligence knows we benefit if we all do good to each other.
The problem is that I think most people are not thinkers and are impulsive and emotional. I mean were all emotional, but there needs to be balance. I see people who, if they took the time to think, they would make better choices. If people thought before speaking, feelings of hurt would be to a minimum. But thoughtless selfishness rules. Some peoples are wild animals in human form.

dam - you just beat me up with that one - i see myself as guilty of allot of that
allot of us feel attacked when no punch was thrown - and this causes us to act out the following
symptoms of racism - constant feelings of being attacked-being respectful to others who show no harm,
-accepting others beliefs/ways of doing things and realizing we all have our own paths and levels of intelligence/understanding
-seek cooperation with others and not being antagonistic
-do not insult others who do not insult us
-do not deceive others who are not in our way or are not against us
in any way
but there is a mirror to this also -
some feel disrespected when no disrespect was meant - they take everything personal
some feel insulted when none was meant
some feel that their beliefs and ways of doing things are under attack when this is not the case -
