Love is going to be what saves this world.

Just a thought...

I'm not denouncing protest or any effective method of change. What I would like to point out though is the fallacy that intellect is going to save this world.

Obviously the people in power know exactly what's going on (as much as they'd like to bury their heads in the sand. They know global warming is bad. They know war isn't pretty. They know that pot causes relative little harm and provides such spiritual gain. So if knowing things was going to save the world, wouldn't we have a utopia right now?

Love on the other hand is what can wrestle with almost any emotion.

So what am I saying? go give bush a hug or something? not at all.

What I am saying is evaluate your life and see where you can be spreading more love and where you are keep that going.

There needs to be a revolution or mother earth is eventually going to cleanse herself by destroying us (can you blame her? we started it).

So what I propose isn't a revolution that's all lovey duvey without fact, but a revolution that is fueled by love.

Peace and Love in the mean time...

 

definitely, i couldnt agree more

there's a battle going on between love and fear. everytime a person makes a decision based on love, the energy level around us goes up a notch. fear is a paralyzer~it keeps people from taking positive action.

ps, see the link in my siggy

 

i support you dude . you are right !

 

not when the sun burns out.

 

You must be on some pretty good dope to spout that shit.
Get a life you sad fuck!

 

yeah, like lets all have a mass smoke-in man , outside the White House to like, flush out Bush man.
' A revolution fueled by love' - give me a break you stupid retard....

 

"' A revolution fueled by love' - give me a break you stupid retard...."

And that today is the exact problem with the world. The moment anyone suggests love or any positive emotion they are treated like some sentimental jack ass.

MrGood do you have any actual counter-arguement then insult and sarcasm?

Until then, peace and love...

 

hahaha he proved a good point. it only added more to your argument that people need more love.

 

fair enough

sends mr.good some love and a hug

peace and love...

 

how is your revolution fuelled by love going to come about?
This is just wishy-washy nonsense..
What kind of society do you envisage after the revolution?

Look at all those phoney hippies from the 60's - most of them are now bank managers, corporate money men , or women married to them.

Perhaps if your OP had a little substance you might not be instantly attacked by the likes of Mr Good?

 

You are totally right, man. The day when homophobes realize that homosexuals are humans like them, the world will be closer to peace. The day when muslims realize the israelis are humans like them, the world will be closer to peace. But while ignorance, money, possessions, and the love for power control our minds, there will be no peace.

 

To say love will save the world, I believe, is very naive.

People definitely need to educate themselves if they want to know the truth about what is going on the world and perhaps try to do something about it. Only then will you see a mass paradigm shift.

To think love is going to save us from what we are up against is to completely ignore the real issues.

 

people are manipulated and controlled thru fear. the govt uses fear all the time to push a certain agenda, to take away freedom, etc. if everyone stopped being afraid, all that's left is love and freedom. there are only two base emotions that people have: fear and love...everything else (hate, anger, happiness, joy, etc, etc, etc) boils down to those two.

the new paradigm is LOVE.

definitely educate people, but do it thru love, not fear.

It may not be very 'nice', but what PR says is true.

Love is simply an emotion or an ideal. Nothing more.

Do you think that 'love' is a new idea? It's not. The only thing love can accomplish is to make your life, and the lives of those you come into direct contact with, temporarily a little more pleasant.

Yes, it's good to love your fellow man, but will it change the world? No. We live on a planet we call Earth. On this planet, survival of the fittest rules all. Love will not make the people in power give up their power, and love will not spread to the whole world no matter how nice you are. I don't give a shit what the Beatles sang about, love is, and always will be, a poor survival strategy. The only thing about love that is empowering is selling the old 'love' horse to a bunch of naive idealists. It sounds good, so as long as there is a society of spoiled brats who have never known the true horrors of the world there will always be plenty of suckers willing to fork over their allowance for the love scam.

Love won't change fuck-all. Smoking a bunch of pot won't do shit for you except entertain you. (or perhaps help you with certain medical conditions) And promiscuous sex will fuck up your life one way or the other. It doesn't matter how idealistic you are, wishfull thinking just can't compete with the hard facts of life. If you want a good time and to hell with the consequences, then by all means entertain yourself, it's better to be comfortable and powerless than to be miserable and powerless.

But if you want to change the world for the better, to prevent the people on top from taking advantage of you and to provide a better world for your children you have to empower yourself. Sure, respect your fellow man, be nice to the people you meet, as long as you don't allow yourself to be taken advantage of these are good survival strategies, but don't expect it to change the world, and don't expect it to defend you from those who are willing to screw you for a buck. You want to empower yourself, then build up your body, mind and spirit. Get your body into good shape so you're not a 'soft target', educate and train yourself so you can deal with whatever comes your way, and seriously explore your inner self so you can understand your own, and in turn all men's nature.

There are only three things you really need to know to really change the world and save your own sorry ass from the meatgrinder: First, the people on top, generally speaking, didn't get where they are because they are smarter or stronger than you, they got there because they know what they want and they don't give a damn who they had to fuck over to get there. Second, stuff will always happen that is beyond your control, but whatever happens how you deal with it is entirely up to you, you are in charge of your own life but you have to either work your ass off or be an asshole to get what you want in this world, and the world has more than enough assholes already. And third, the content of your one-in-six-billion human bio-computer (brain) isn't worth shit without a body to transform it into reality, likewise, your fragile, weak human body isn't worth shit without a brain to tell it what to do, wishfull thinking won't change anything and ignorance is only bliss until you get yourself killed.

Educate, explore, and exercise yourself. Otherwise you will never amount to shit.

Oh yeah, and anyone who tells you what you want to hear is either weak or trying to take advantage of you. Either way they're not worth your time.

The meek may indeed inherit the earth, but only because they had rich asshole parents who didn't know how to raise their kids.

 

love is great , it's addictive as well, trust me. The thing is that love is so "uncritical" in a blurry kinda way, "all is love" etc... And it's not something the politicians are afraid of, it's good for them! Stop living in a dream... and stop living in their dream! I believe more in being awake (but not hatefull) and everyday trying to get out uf their WEB of illusion, for me it's about living by other rules than theirs. (love/war are oppposites and therefore related because on the same axis) Sounds weird? It's up to you, you make the choice.

 

my OP was completely blown out of context

again I said i'm not denouncing any need for truth. Truth and fact are a neccesity.

What would be the point of a revolution that wasn't fueled by loved (again not without fact and truth). But without love what is the point of a revolution? Why?
If there's no love who really gives a hoot, let's just all do it for the money. I can't find any other good reason. I want to change the world because I LOVE it and it's people.

Peace and Love...

 

Well, revolutions are generally bloody, violent mob activities that merely trade one evil for another. I do not condone revolutions except as an absolute last resort in the face of true oppression. You will know true oppression when it comes. What I do suggest is that you prepare yourself to deal with anything that might happen, including an attempt by governments or populations to bring oppression and violence to your front door. More effective change can be brought about through the spread of information, the thing about this though is that you have to be responsible, sensible, and respectful of the wide variety of points of view in the world if you really want change.

The way I see it, there are two basic types of love. There is romantic love, which most everyone experiences at one point or another, and there is love for your fellow human, which is more accurately called respect. The problem with respect is that it is generally against human nature to harbor respect for those outside of one's circle of friends and family. Human nature evolves and changes over time, but a change in human nature cannot be forced. Human beings are animals, we evolved on a violent planet and we got to the top of the food chain because we are frighteningly efficient at securing our own self interest. Pacifism and universal respect are poor survival strategies on this planet, and human beings are evolved to be the ultimate survivors.

You cannot change human nature, but there are three related things that you can change.

First, you can change your own actions, you cannot force others to change their actions without totally disrespecting them, but you can exercise your free will to control your own. Choose your battles, exercise respect (not to be confused with pacifism or politeness) and keep as much concious control over your own actions as you can.

The other thing you can change is your 'mask'. Everyone wears a mask whether they like to admit it or not. Your mask is the persona you project to the outside world, and it does not neccesarily reflect what is in your heart and mind. Some people wear badass masks, these are the guys who wear black clothes with skulls and shit on them, they like to pretend that they are masters of their environment, but in reality they wear these masks because they are afraid of the big bad world. Some wear pacifist masks, these people like to pretend that they would never harm a fly, but of course human nature is human nature and even the Dalai Llama slaps mosquitoes. Masks are simply instinctive survival strategies. But, like any other human behavior you are in control of your own mask, but it isn't easy.

Third, the only thing you can really change in other people is information. You can give others information or ignorance through communication. It's no guarantee that they will listen to you, but information is really the only respectful way to change the lives of others. Of course, information can be used as a destructive tool as well, so always take what information you are given with a grain of salt, examine the information you are given and ask yourself what purposes it could serve to the people spreading it. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, if it is simply trying to elicit an emotional response it is not good information, someone is probably either simply spreading their own ignorance or they are using information as a sinister means of control.

Wishful thinking is simply wishful thinking. It changes very little outside of your own mind. To transform thoughts into reality, actions are required. If simple brain waves could alter reality we would just be a bunch of floating brains. We aren't, obviously. Mind and body are one being, one or the other alone is weak and ineffectual, but when wisely used together they can be incredibly powerful.

 

I am of the opinion that, if the world is to be saved, love will be neccecery for it's salvation. However, I do not think that love alone will be able to save the world.

Also, I disagree with what jesuswasamonkey said about how "the only thing about love that is empowering is selling the old 'love' horse to a bunch of naive idealists." I believe that love for humanity can be a very empowering emotion in that it gives people the ability to coexist together peacefully.

Peace,
Glowing Blacklight

 

Shame on you MrNoGood.
Love is the answer of course, it will bring about Utopia. Check my post "The eradication of money" and follow us to Utopia.

 

everything is love, people just dont know how to see that everything around them is filled with it anymore.
