Less inclined.......

I find the world an increasingly difficult place to live in...as I age, evolve journey forward I feel we as a species are losing our grip somewhat, we know more than we ever have before...and yet we understand less.

There is imbalance everywhere I look and yes we have become creatures of selfish habit !

Our gods are as varied as the day of old with money leading the charge forward to be worshipped, to be held up as something good and righteous.
It is not enough to get through one's day and feel you have achieved something...assisted someone on their path, self preservation seems to be the way of the future.

We demand more than we have ever had, we expect more and with an outstretched hand we greet each day with a self-righteous, ego-driven view on life.

I personally feel concerned...I am not sure why I should care about the future for the young, but I do !

Maybe its a village mentality, a sense of community that was fostered within me when I was young, when times were so very different and the world was a safer place...people shared excess and protection was offered to those that needed it.

I consider the old saying "You give a poor man a fish and you feed him for a day. You teach a man to fish and you give him an occupation that will feed him for a lifetime"

When did we stop learning ?

Why did we stop teaching ?

I am less inclined now to give as I see too many have the learned the art of expectation and refuse to consider any sort of balance.

To those around me I give freely...of my time, my energy and any excess that is not needed in my life. I do this for simplistic reasons, Joy being one.

I won't offer you something with an expectation or a demand to replace the time, energy or excess that was given....the Universe will provide me with that.

I see the world with very different eyes now than when I was young and hopeful and I am sorry we have reached this point on our journey, I am saddened....sorry because each of us shoulder the responsibility to shape our world to be better than before, saddened because we don't seem to learn by our mistakes.

Its not a case of power, money or a myriad of others variables that could improve the way of things....its a basic need to survive as a species, to improve as best we can, together !

Can we return to the village where it all began ?

or is it too late for the inhabitants of this world...I hope not !
