Being stressed and tired is part of life these days isn't it? It used to be that you "work hard and get ahead", now it seems that you work hard just to not get so far behind!

True, true, true... It is amazing at how isolated we have become, even though we seem to be so social, the basis of our efforts are more purposeful than sociable... I have noticed this more and more, I first noticed it about 10 years ago, and it is more and more evident daily. People blame being too busy, too stressed, too tired, but, I think that the underlying reason is more selfish than any of those... Oh, I could go on and on, so, will stop and congratualte you on a fine post, thought provoking and stimulating... thank you and take care! :)))) Excellent discussion!

To me, it begins here. Not that people shouldn't get divorced, but it's up to us to attempt to stem the family wars that further fragment all the relationships between parents, siblings, grandparents and extended family. I know of a handful of divorced people who can get along with their ex's--and they are couples who are profoundly devoted to the well-being of their children. Not that any of this is easy, but until we can become more responsible for our own situations, especially spiritually, as Shine points out, how can we expect "nations" and "multinational corporations" to behave ethically when as individuals, we may pull the same crap within our own families?

We do pollute here and there, and we can distroy forest and rivers and lakes with uncouncions acts against our Earth but I don't think we have nothing to do with the heating of the earth, or the cooling of the earth,or the ice ages in earth, or the black spots in the sun, not with our pollution, no with our toxins in air and water, but YES, WITH OUR SPIRITUAL POLLUTION, there is a world that we cannot see all the time, but we can feel it, and we know is there, but most of time we decide to ignore, that is the world we need to start paying more attention too, and do what is right acording with our councience and soul, we are all related we are all together on this one, we need to be prepare, for what comes next in this world :) I love your blog, always something intesting to talk about :) So intresting, the question how are we going ot survive doesn’t have a easy answer, maybe and for sure how things are going with the world now, for sure not all are going to survive, the answer will be focused in what do you think matters the most to save and preserve?, do this people think oil is the most important thing in the world to save? or is the enviroment?, or is the human race all alone? or is the spiritual?, while devating and taking wrong decisions and putting on a panick attack to the whole world this people forgets our origen, I think the earth is changing because its natural course and cicles, and the univers is in constant change and movement, how can we be afecting the temperature in the earth? when we have a whole Universe and cosmos around us and we are under their influence too… We do pollute here and there, and we can distroy forest and rivers and lakes with uncouncions acts against our Earth but I don’t think we have nothing to do with the heating of the earth, or the cooling of the earth,or the ice ages in earth, or the black spots in the sun, not with our pollution, no with our toxins in air and water, but YES, WITH OUR SPIRITUAL POLLUTION, there is a world that we cannot see all the time, but we can feel it, and we know is there, but most of time we decide to ignore, that is the world we need to start paying more attention too, and do what is right acording with our councience and soul, we are all related we are all together on this one, we need to be prepare, for what comes next in this world I love your blog, always something intesting to talk about

As we've seen with every person or govt with massive or absolute power, they will do anything to preserve their power. Including massive abuses of human rights. Probably not.
