It’s funny when situations don’t get rubber
stamped for the industrialized system. Those folks have wielded so much power by
having their way for 4 generations. Everyone should understand their position
of authority, need and circumstance. Few without representation bother to
speak-out, stand-up or say “no."
The system has managed to exhort their influence
through all of our lives by way of education, government, laws, culture,
agencies, associations and committees. Industrialization became so powerful,
everyone sold-out in order to placate the few and reap some profit. Unions were
formed to improve labor conditions and balance the industrial agenda.
Eventually greed and power would be the crack in
the system to seek even cheaper ways to make a widget. Mass production was
built on cheap and affordable products available to nearly everyone, so
production shifted overseas. Jobs were lost, factories closed, while organizations lost power. A system built upon holding the hostage of
people, economic stability and governance weakened considerably.
This is what the system doesn’t want you to know. It doesn’t want you to have a voice, idea or
opinion. It will tell you- it doesn’t
matter, you don’t count and nobody is listening. It attempts to operate
like it is 1958 and it owns and controls everything, including you.
The only card the industrialized corporations have
in their arsenal is fear. The promises of owning a new home, a car or sending
your kids to college is off the table. The chance of retiring comfortably is even
questionable. We are now seeing wages and benefits diminish in the race to
reach the bottom.
Our only option is to slowly sink, start our own
business or perhaps create an entire movement based upon connecting with people.
As the system continues to flounder in its own
excess of greed and power, people realize the loyalty, sweat, obedience and
conformity is a waste of dignity, ideas, goals and dreams. The single most
effective way to build a following is too stand-up
for your own beliefs and rights. This is what the Industrial system fears the
most. Rebellion signals the end of
compliance.
The challenge isn’t to do what we’ve been doing
better. The real challenge is to question where we’ve been and where we’re
going. The only requirement is bravery; it’s far riskier to stay trapped as a
cog. So, make a ruckus, follow your dreams and create a movement that inspires
change.
It’s only
then; we can do something meaningful for people who care and do something for
those that really matter!

We Meet Again,
