To sustain or not sustain... Is that really even the question?!

As us humans try to push 100% efficiency, it seems as if most of the general population is not aware that it cannot be reached. We are obsessed with making things easier. When it comes down to it, that is not the case when it comes to living our lives - anything worth anything, takes time. I believe most people can agree that we feel we don't even have the time of day to do anything! Is that not a shame for our lives in which we lead? It almost makes me feel at half-life when I think about it. Time seems to me, something that doesn't exist in actuality, only predetermined in society. In my inexperienced "time" on earth, I often wondered, "When did 'time' start?". I have come to realize as my body grew out of the inexperienced state, that there was not a start, nor will there be an end. I have come to terms with the fact that my body will end, but existence in itself will never perish. For the existence in which I speak is the universe at whole. In its absoluteness it is here, it is current. The universe will not go away. To me that makes it seem infinite. If the universe is infinite, and we are in it, how does that bode for the humans on earth? The earth is here to stay, until it reaches high temperatures and exists only in faster molecular form. Even at that it still "technically" and "physically" remains, only because of the recent research that someone said, "Matter cannot be created nor destroyed". I only quote that because some readers may need to know it didn't come from myself, only because they might have heard that elsewhere, in which I would be deemed stealing from others... stealing words that they neither own nor created themselves.



Having said all of that, there must be the possibility that us as humans can attain a goal of 99.99% efficiency and can in fact press the bar one more point higher. At this point we would almost have to say we start over to the 0.01%. If you are the number/factual mind, you could almost say we would be at 100%. Since humans have an incredible will to exceed our current power, it is then possible that we can press the bar higher past that. Moving up one step further puts us at 0.02%(or 100.02%). How many times can we repeat this? Can it continue infinitely? Does it stop at a certain point? If so, when? Even though it cannot be answered concretely in all or one persons mind, it does not mean it cannot exist. Don't forget that we already made a scale that starts at 1, continues to 100, then continues with one hundred 1's only to add more. If that number scale holds true, then would not that scale of the percentage hold true to that as well? On the real though... should we even be trying to press the bars???



This next question I have recently been toying with in my head. I do not know what my own thoughts are and how they lay in the track of my mind and the mind for the whole of the population...

What should be done for you?(the person reading this)

I exclude myself from this question because I have understood that I am completely capable of giving and receiving happiness. I know how I want to be, but, I have not one clue as to how you should be. I need to know how I can make anyone happy. Call it selfish if you want, but... this is me and this is what I WANT(it's not selfish by the way if it's to aid another person). If I could want anything in life, it is to know that people can find their own happiness. My next question;

Should we keep pressing the bar within our civilization(s)?

All these question rattles my brain so much more than anything I have came across thus far. What if pressing the bar brings "good" things for one, but not for the other? If we have everything we need to live and prosper, then why must we keep creating things in which are not needed anymore? What does it mean when someone is not satisfied with fulfilling their necessaties and necessaties only? Does that mean they created a possibility for their own unhappiness?



I wish to say to everyone that feels depressed or unhappy, "What does it take for you to be satisfied?" Some may answer, "To be happy..." I would then ask if they were suffering. If whomever was suffering, had options and choices to will and control their possibility for longevity, then I must say you are a fool to not find happiness.



Being more aware of this notion, in my life, has become a great tool for me to base my actions upon. I simply put happiness into my actions, act out the part of happy guy and I am happy. I have the things I need in order to survive with and as mankind. So, essentially, I should be done serving myself. Next is you.

Let us work together to achieve that happiness(obviously this could be bias, COULD be..........). As I said earlier about us pressing the bar for new this, new that, more this, more that... instead we ought to focus on the essentials for others lives if they are in distress:

Plentiful [real] foods, shelters and clothes...

Options for FREE education for everyone(more libraries? book stores?)...

More passive environments to raise our children(just as importantly, for OURselves)...



Now I know what you just might be thinking - "well, ideally... right?" OF COURSE IDEALLY! Most of those could benefit the population! Undoubtedly! But, it is the "HOW" we are supposed to ask in getting these notions instated. It boggles my mind indefinitely. In the midst of the mind boggling concepts, I re-learned two words that I have been taking for granted and ignored my whole entire life;

Sustainability & Development

To sustain would be ideal. To develop, would also be ideal in SOME cases. Sustain means to hold up, to bear or to support. I would like to help you sustain on this planet of ours (why not stake claim if we are ALL claiming it as one, right?). Also, I would like to develop - develop meaning to grow, unfold, cause to, bring out capabilities of or possibilities - a way for easier understanding. Developing is a good thing, when it comes to mind manifestation. But when it comes to the physical sense... not so much(refer to "Uh ooooh.... Pollution-O's! for greater detail). I'm not saying that we shouldn't grow physically, that's just dumb to think of. I'm only speaking of the "Natural World". The same world that has a self(world) sustaining notion. This planet has a good idea, for it replenishes on it's own and creates opportunities for the animals and non-animals. Animals that can actualize themselves, are the ones fucking this planet up(humans). This natural world doesn't need any developing. The only developing that needs to be done is the psyche of each and everyone of us. I am NOT discluding myself, for I try to learn on the daily, when my "thankful to have occupation" doesn't slow me down. Help me learn those two words better. Help me learn sustainable ways to; ensue a greater environment and living, form a greater mankind, actuate sensibility and relieve the tension of PAID SLAVERY. We will not need to do many of these "jobs" anymore if we can turn the planet back to a self sustaining notion that is once was and kind of is still. The only problem is that most people would probably be bored if there weren't many of these jobs. So, try that whole developing of the mind first. You won't be disappointed if there is no worry in your life anymore. Be free.

A Prejudice Act

Prejudging something before actually know anything about the subject is what we do instinctively. As the human race, we cannot deny that, I feel. All of my life I have always wanted to know the answer to something, whether it be cheat codes to a video game or why this chick does not like me. Hah! The act of prejudging determines your answer before you have ever been involved with it. Many people now-a-days already have an answer at the tip of their tongue in seconds before they develop the story behind it. It shoots out of people's mouthes before we even know how to assess it! How does that make you feel when people do that about the clothes you wear? How does it make you feel when they do that about the people you associate with? How does it make you feel that some of the closest people to you, do that very same thing... when it comes to your beliefs?

When I was in middle school I noticed many students that I went with display a lot of prejudice. Myself included. I noticed it when I was in grade school too. That to me is very sad. At the age of innocence, whether that be 0 on your life line up to however you feel the age of innocence stops, it is pure. Where did we learn all of this negative talk from? I have not a clue as to where it might have came from. I could tell you I feel it comes from how we were raised. Depending on the social status we grew up around, we will end up thinking on the highest level of what was taught to us. In this day and age, who is to say what is right or wrong considering we have more sorrow verses happiness? It seems like a lot of the people that "run the show" have more of their ideals input into our heads, whether we like it or not. We just adapt to it ever-so easily.

The negative talk never affected me when I was younger. I did not know to the degree of what it meant to others, I was on the other side of the spectrum of course. I was a part of it like I mentioned earlier. Now, I cannot stand when someone says something of that nature. It makes me feel like they hold themselves to a higher stature, when in actuality, it means dick in life. It is just another excuse for someone not understanding the story behind it, only because they are not used to the general idea. I hear people ALL the time say, "It's not that I don't like black people, I just hate niggers." OR "It's not that I don't like gay people, I just hate fags." Does this make any sort of sense to you??? If it does make sense, then I do not know how long it is going to take your brain to break through with clearer logic. You are a fool to say there is a difference.

I had to do a project for my sociology class a couple years ago pertaining to this subject. What we had to do was think of a way the lessen the racist or prejudice ways either from within ourselves or within others. We had to write out what we were going to do in order to bring change for the situation. I never ended up doing this. To me it is very upsetting that it took this long to understand why some of these things need to get done. If we do not learn to ignore the ways we use this negative talk, then we will never persevere through this perpetual discrimatory nation. Once we have ignored it, we will then bring the use of it to a hault. It is as easy as that! Isn't it? Well, you can decide for yourself. Try one day, for those of you that do take part in this discrimination, to not say anything negative of the sort. TRY to NOT laugh when someone makes a damn joke about it. Try to not ask, "Was he white?", "Was he black?", "Was he Mexican?" "Was he gay?". Then stop saying, "Of course" or "Duh" afterwards. The only thing you're doing is creating a barrier between "races". We should have never even created that word. We are all human and that is the only thing that we need to know.

I typed in google one day, "Percentage of ...". I found that most topics people with the internet are concerned with from top to bottom are, "Percentage of Blacks in america, % of students with college degrees, % of obese americans, % of homosexuals in america, % of christians in america." Why are we concerned with all of these topics? Do you really care how many of each of those labels are in the US? I'm not ruling out the fact that those could have been results based on research for studies... But why are we studying that in the first place??? That I guess isn't the question we are trying to focus on really, it's just another thing that bothers me. The main thing here that we are looking at, and should be concerned with, is that many people think that "their" race is the number one. What happens if we keep looking out for number one??? NOTHING HAPPENS! We fail. We need to work together on the lives we lead and the "problems" we endure. If we cannot bring it to a togetherness, then we will suffer with a great divide.

Since we decided to put lines down on a picture of our Land, then we need to start drawing lines on the negative ways in which we think. Divide, conqure and release the negative thoughts into a new light. For we are the only ones who can create a more positive lifestyle. Our current is based on it and our future will be based on how we raise it as well. If we do not start soon, it will manifest into a terrible disease that we cannot cure. Please, do your part and donate your positive thoughts to others. Make them feel your good vibes. It is all we have.

Uh ooooh.... Pollution-O's!

I've scoped it out from as many angles as I can with the resources and tools that I have and acquired. WE THE PEOPLE can only do so much when it comes to solving problems with our pollution Problem. There are many people that understand what needs to be done about it, there are people that know it's a problem and then there are the people who have not a care in the world about it. I sadly am one of the people that knows we need a new game plan.

What that does for me now is add a whole new objective in my life. Maybe it is unusual for someone to think that they should dedicate their lives to efficiency for the planet, but then again... Would I leave my house a mess and pollute it with garbage? No, I didn't think that I was going to say yes either. I'm sure anyone that reads this would agree as well. Not one person you see throughout the day enjoys garbage.

GARBAGE=(expired)MATERIALISM

Ever play Jenga? I have. It's a really fun game! All you are supposed to do is stack small little pieces of rectangular shaped blocks in a certain rotating pattern until it extends about 12 inches high. When you put it together your objective is to pull out those blocks from the middle of the stack(or anywhere below the top blocks) and then place it gently on the top to create a new row. You're supposed to take turns throughout players and continue until it COLLAPSES! AAAAAAHHHH! So fun! It's fucking exhilarating, kind of like ice fishing.

Ever play Planet? I have and it sucks! All you are supposed to do is take little atoms out of the the planet and bond them together with other various elements found inside the earth. Then once you've found a covalent bond, you place it strategically on top of the planet. Sounds so simple and very similar. There are a few differences in this game. First off, not many people know they are playing. When we continue to play, the inside gets a little weaker(kind of like Jenga?). Once it gets weaker, much like JENGA, it's obviously going to collapse! Cool game huh? Not the game for me.

So now that we have our overloaded planet on the exterior side, what do we do with it all? Do we continually mass produce shit(atoms bonded together) that we don't need and aren't beneficial to us? Take plastic for example. I KNOW we have a lot of plastic that is not being used and isn't being recycled. This poses a problem for the people that want a clean planet. What happens [I feel] is that the plastic bottles we use for water (which by the way are terrible for some people involving some heath concerns. I've found a possible web source that you can refer to right here) become mass produced to serve the purpose of carrying water. In saying that it sounds like a legitimate idea. This is where I think it goes wrong. Now what we are doing here, to reiterate, is taking specific atoms out of the planet and bonding them together with other atoms. It is as simple as that. After plastic is formed, it has more of a difficult time going back in the same way it came out. So what we have to do with it, is just keep piling it up! This can also be portrayed another way when it comes to buildings. More so BUILDINGS THAT DON'T LAST LONG! AND THAT ARE STILL UP! WASTING SPACE!

I know it sounds like I'm just bitching about silly little things that not many people worry about. I worry about them none the less, and I know there are others that have this concern too. OBVIOUSLY if it is a concern then it means it's bad to some people (considering there morals and their enlightened ways of living). All I request from some people is that they try a little harder to keep their rooms cleaned and also try harder to keep their biosphere clean as well. WHICH IS MY BIOSPHERE AS WELL! Kind of get what I'm hinting at???

Try this;

Recycle all bottles and cans that can be returned to stores. NOT IN TRASH!

Locate local recycling centers to take your plastic bags back to from the market

(use the savvy shopping bags they provide for you, don't be lazy, makes you look bad. Bad = not cool, who wants to not be cool? Loser...)

Set up bins throughout the house to keep glass, paper and plastic organized

Recycle unused clothes to salvation shops (or go pass clothes out to bums)

Turn lights off when not in use

Don't let water run for no reason (quick showers)

Time your furnace to get cooler at night to conserve energy too

(money savers right there by the way)

Plant something.

The earth breathes, consumes and lives. Since we moved in on it, we need to help it. Imagine if a bunch of disease crash landed on your body... wouldn't you like it if they helped the efficiency of your mobility? Well diseases won't, cause we already measured that diseases deteriorate things(hence the negative connotation). Now then, what are humans doing to the planet?
