Changing Society

 

Ok so my last blog I mentioned I was going to discuss ways we can help change society and bring back our world to a stable order without having to rely on the political world.   Well here it is.

 

Let's start out with a few articles I read online.  I took some time out of my busy day to research what other people had in mind about how they could change the world.  Well I got to tell you, I found some interesting stuff out there.  Some good, most just bad.  Let's start off with my first site I visited, Wikihow.com.  really?  Since when did wiki start giving advice on how to change the world.  Most of the things they listed were reasonable, but they are the same things everyone tells you to do to help change the world.  I don't want to change the world, I want to FIX IT!  So here is what they suggested and I will put my own opinion on the list.  It covers 12 different ways to change.

 

1.    Volunteer:  ok here's the deal.  Lots of people volunteer every day, school, work, blood drives, shelters, ext, but what most people need in our crashed society is money.  It's hard to find free labor these days, so I am counting this one out. 

 

2.    Petition, charity, donate, fundraiser:  Sounds like a repeat of No. 1 to me except instead of giving up not only time now you're going to give your money away.  I could see this for some stinking rich benign ass, but those are slim around here.  PASS

 

3.    Shop carefully:  everyone these days shops carefully already squeezing every penny out of a coupon or sale to save a buck.  I didn't see this at first as a great method for saving a society until I thought of it another way.  My favorite method of shopping is bartering.  Trading something I have for something I need.  Works wonders and best of all, I never spend a dime.  Majority of the time it's always to someone close by so not a lot of gas and I can use my money elsewhere.  This is a great idea.

 

4.    Recycle:  Now this is one I like, but not in the since they were talking about.  Stop throwing away stuff that’s not strait up garbage.  There are plenty of people who can take old junk and make it into something out there that’s useful, practical, and best of all dirt cheap!  I understand people don't want a cluttered house, so put an ad in a local paper and give it away to someone who wants it, or go into my favorite method; BARTER!  Trade your junk to someone who wants it for something you can use.  Look you both saved money. 

 

5.    Pay it forward:  Helping others out without being asked.  If you don't already do that than your just another person not assisting in the recovery of our society.  In order for us as a people to make it in the future, I see it as we are going to have to go back to the old days of pioneer life where everyone has a place, helps out everyone, and doesn't charge a dime.  Maybe trade goods for service, but in the end if we want to make it then the modern age of thinking needs to take a step back into the history books a few hundred years where they lived properly without money and politics, and stocks, and glorified mansions with perfect grass.

 

6.    Do not hurt the individual:  Love this, unfortunately history has proven this virtually impossible, but if more people could see how much better life was helping instead of hurting, maybe we could make that change.  Most criminals do it to survive, but if we could fix the economical crisis then less people would have to fight over territory, drugs, women, ext and they could sustain their family with a hard honest living.

 

7.    Donate Blood:  Yes it is still good for global catastrophes like Katrina, or the upcoming Super typhoon about to hit Japan.  Just remember why your donating blood.  Do it for the injured and sick around the world. 

 

8.    Buy a wristband:  I would rather mail my dollar strait to the foundation asking for money than to buy a wristband that cost them 25 cents to make and is a complete waste of a resource.  I have yet to figure out how a wristband is going to help me fix society.  If someone can give me a reasonable and logical explanation to how a wristband is going to help "Change the world", I will personally send you a dollar.  Yes it's just a dollar, but it’s a dollar you didn’t have.

 

9.    Support animal welfare:  This is a touchy subject especially for all the PETA fans I may lose after this comment.  If someone didn't want us to eat meat like cows, pigs, chickens…then the chickens should have been able to fly, the pigs and cows should of not been so fat so they could run away.  I support people who are against abuse of household pets but not wild animals.  Our oldest ancestors didn't survive by eating rice, salads, and potatoes.                       

 

10.                       Be an Advocate:  This is strait from the website;  Organize fundraisers to help raise money for your chosen charity or cause. And if you can't raise money, just add your voice to those already campaigning to end poverty, war, injustice, sexism, racism, or corruption in the world.  Ok the only part I am going to agree with is voice your opinion, but do it in a manner that will make a difference.  Don't go out there and riot!!!  That gets you nowhere but a 6x8 concrete box.  Study your constitution and bill of rights carefully.  Most people have missed the big key loopholes in there that can make a difference between just a rally or a life changing event.  More on that topic for the future.

 

11.                       Organ Donor:  Also good, if you're dead why do you care what happens to your rotting corpse.  Imagine it this way.  Say you're dying and you need a heart and the asshole down the hall crashed his bike killing himself and didn't donate his organs, but he is the most perfect match possible for you.  A week later you die due to someone's selfish acts and they aren’t even alive.  Food for thought.

 

12.                       Laugh and Smile:  HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA  J   tell me how I just changed society and saved the world?.......its healthy for us to laugh and smile with each other, but not a very full effort effect to changing society unless we were all comedians.

 

So now that I have shown you the majority of the crap I found online let me give you my own list in a very simple version.

 

1.    Barter/Recycle Everything:  Use your resources to obtain what you need to survive without spending money.  Just go Hillbilly! 

2.     Go back to pioneer days, work together:  Don't rely on the Govt to help you.  Go back to the days when we as people use to fend for ourselves out there and rely on our neighbors to help us out.  Some parts around the world, to include America, this method is still used and they are usually the ones who flourish the best.

3.    If the Govt isn't helping do it yourself:  Don't wait for someone in the Govt to help you out.  Go find other people that support your change and go make it happen(within legal limits)

4.    Before action study the rules:  I don't want someone going out there and making the wrong decisions.  Go read the laws about your problem and find the loophole.  There is always a loophole.

5.    STOP BEING LAZY!:   If you expect to be able to sit on your couch all day and watch the rest of the world change society for you, then you don't deserve anything it brings.  If you don't help, don't expect anything in return.

6.    Confront your Govt if you're not happy:  If you don't like something go change it!  Start at the bottom and work your way up.  People will recognize your efforts as long as you keep trying.  Someone will hear your voice.

7.    Don't quit:  If people always quit then we wouldn't have anything.  If George Washington, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, or Thomas Edison quit early, who knows what age of time we would have been in.  they stood up for what they believed and made a difference, so can you!

 

So this is my simple and most effective way to fix society.  It's your choice as a person to either stand up, or stay lazy.  My next blog Is undecided at this time, so if anyone has an idea or opinion to share please feel free and I can talk about it.
