Have We Lost Our Way?

Image result for pictures of confusion

This must be one of the most frequently asked questions known to mankind now and forever.

Everywhere I look, whether the newspaper, television, social media or out and about I often ask myself what the hell is going on? How can I get off this “not-so merry-go-round”?

The answer of course is that most can’t as we are stuck in our own frustrating circle of nonsense with all the trappings of daily life. That’s not to say things are crap, depressing or sad. They mostly are not.

However, I just can’t get away from all the fact that so much is damaging our very existence and is so wasteful.

Everything appears to be run by money. Money has one of the loudest voices the world have ever experienced and is forcing decency and fair play out into the realms of extinction.

Sport is now full of corruption from drug taking (to get that little advantage over an opponent to be a winner) to match fixing.

High flying management chasing the dollar bill with little or no regard for those who actually do the work (for little pay)  so they can luxuriate in their bonuses and vast salaries.

Politicians spinning and regurgitating policies they know will fail just to get onto the gravy train to self promote and set themselves up for gold-plated pensions and jobs for the boys when elected out.

Reality television hopefuls with no talent or personality being sold the dream of fame and fortune to be trawled out as z-listed celebrities to host crap for future wastralls.

Vast lottery jackpots that ruin lives rather than enhance them.

Social media sites selling information and lives with no sense of responsibility for the very people who create the to and fro banter that so often is interpreted wrongly and hijacked by trolls.

My house is better than yours or my phone is more superior than all the others and just take a look at the car and labels I am wearing. I must be of a higher intelligence and social standing than you.

Is this what we have come to as a life form?

Where is the sense of humanity, community spirit and helping those less fortunate?

Why have we allowed so very few (who think they are elite) to rule our lives and dictate what and where we can go and do without any say? We speak our minds in mass rallies, online polls and at meetings and we are ignored if it doesn’t suit the agenda of the “Mighty few”.

The poor a fleeced of the little assets they have or have saved by those who have already got more than they will ever be able to use and this is done just about within the law. But even if they break the law nothing is done to punish them. They are just given more and told to go away and be forgotten about whilst the ones who have suffered get nothing and are just left to get on with things regardless and stop causing trouble or we will send the heavies round.

A new phone comes out monthly but how many of us use all the capabilities is can offer? The old one has more than enough unused stuff on it so why spend more for a new one? Oh yes, its shiny and new.

Cars are the same. Yes I know some will use it all but most will not very often.

Now the things that could and would be fantastic and financially beneficial let alone good  for the environmental the features and techniques in the building game.

Things like using the old tyres from vehicles, installing solar panels, fitting ground and air source pumps for heating, using good and efficient windows and doors and making homes future proof and comfortable with space-saving insides.

No we don’t get this as it costs too much and would eat into the billions of pounds of profit  the bosses make.

But they should lift the heads from the cash trough of “now;today” as it would save vast amounts of energy, money and lives in the future. But I guess they won’t  be around then so “nah, we won’t be doing that”.

Greed, envy, one-up-manship, fame and blinkered living is the result of money and its ruined the world beyond help.

All we can hope for is that future generations will learn to be happy together when money implodes and causes a world disaster.

STOP BEING GREEDY AND SELFISH.

    As I stand outside my front door in my very little garden, I can look at the beauty of our world; at least a molecule- size of it. I relish each day watching the changes I can see; the trees and bushes as they respond to each season and the sky – the every second nuances of change as I look up.
    The main thing I love about this is it is FREE and NOBODY can take it from me.
    I concur completey with what Lord Frog is saying; BUT we can ALL have precious FREE and golden moments if we just STOP and take a look around us.
    By doing this one simple act, we beat those money grabbing big shots who think they hold our lives in their hands. They can’t if we don’t let them. Just take a few moments and take a look outside and see the beauty around you and say to yourself nobody can take this from me.
