Ever since I 'woke up' about four/five years I have been living in total frustration. Nothing is what it should be and I constantly feel as though there is no point going on through the pathetic existence I'm doomed to because the system is so counter-intuitive.
Then in your daily life, which is relatively poor, because you can see all the atrocities, lies and stupidity you can't seem to escape. You have one choice, accept it! I'm just not comfortable with it at all. 90% of people scoff at the thought of our government being in any way crooked, deceitful etc, even when they are presented with facts they are conditioned to deny them.
Then there's the 10%, probably less, who are 'awake' and they are, like me, doomed to live in this black hole we call Earth because there is just not enough strength in numbers to make any positive change.
It seems like the only victories I'll ever see in my life are minuscule, and are they really worth living for?
I'm not a Star Trek fan by any stretch (just can't get into it) but I always loved this - "Live long and prosper"
There is no prosperity on Earth anymore. In terms of the human race, we aren't progressing. Earth is not a haven for life but a breeding ground for greed.
I mean, should I want to visit another part of the planet, I'd have to jump through hoops, pay for a visa etc just to set foot on that patch of land and breath that air. Surely every human should have the right to explore? The Earth and all it has to offer is being turned into a commodity, bit by bit yet everyone just accepts it. People genuinely believe we living in a democracy. Nope! It's a dictatorship! The only choice we have, we get to pick the puppet. The puppet master never changes.
Sorry, going to stop now as it's just too depressing. Does anyone else feel so miserable and frustrated that they'd be tempted to call it a day and hope for better after death? I'm not saying I'm suicidal but does no one else feel like the fight for Earth has been lost long ago and we're never going to see the dawn of a new age?

Back to reality, what else can we, as the minority, do other than accept it?

Sadly the people who control, and that's what it is control, the World know this. Utilities should be owned by the governments and be given free to the population. Transport should be free. This could be done with ease. The money spent on weapons and the whole munitions industry would easily pay for it. This would enable the population to actually have a life and have money to spend. It would cut the carbon emission issue as more people would see they don't actually need a car.
Thatchers greatest trick was putting a noose round the peoples neck by way of mortgages. If a country was run correctly there would be no need to buy a house. Social housing would be of a high standard and be plentiful. How she ever got away with creating this home owning culture is beyond me. Now because of the stupidity of greedy bankers people are living in fear of being homeless. If you have this hanging over your head are you going to cause shout and demand better? No.
This country has far too many politicians, peers and associated wage thieves. We give money, for free, to one of the richest families in the world. They own palaces all over the country while people are sleeping under bridges. We give huge grants to the aristocracy to maintain crumbling stately homes. All this happens while the general populace are fed rubbish in papers and TV.
My kids have came through university and are caring decent people. They have been taught to follow their own paths and think for themselves. that's all we can do. The fact more people vote on x factor than an election is the most depressing thing I have ever read.
Here's how I see it! Each one of us has different s*** going on, every single one of has some type of thing in our own life's that we'd obviously rather not be going through. Yes, it's quite sickening with all the stuff that comes out about our governments, politicians etc. And that there is things going on that makes the human mind shudder in disgust at some of the things we do to each other, but my answer to all that stuff is this!
Just embrace every single moment you can with those you care most about, appreciate being such a complex being that you can mull over the unknown with no certainty just what we are part of. Take in any clear night sky you can, share a joke with your close ones, and hold tightly your closest others. Feel a gentle breeze whisk across your face, listen to the music you like as loud as you can, take in some brilliant literature, share your thoughts and opinions with like minded people and just take every bad bit of news you hear on the chin! I could have kept going on with things to at least make life a bit more enjoyable, but realised how long I've been going on for!
So like you said op, "live long and prosper" no matter how hard it is, and don't waste your short time here worrying about how bad things are!
Peace

twitter and Facebook that should be in our interest, this site is a prime example for spreading the word, we have brothers in Australia. south Africa the middle east, all over the world and it will grow like a virus the more we share, they want us to feel helpless because they know if we stand as one it's game over, so my advice is chin up try to educate not preach to people who you are in contact with and if you have kid's tell them to think for themselves take no notice of the media.
Knowledge is power my friend I currently am going through a big change in my life & swear to dedicate my time to educating myself as much as I can & hopefully that can lead to educating others. Don't stop fighting for what you believe in because you brother fight for what's right. There are many wonderful things in life like love & joy everyone needs that keep your chin up pal were never truly defeated until we roll over & let them break us.
On a lighter note the Gunners are going to splash the cash this year buddy the only way is up! If that's what your Gunner name ment.

Yeah, Rise & Shine. Seems like they will but I'm naturally skeptical. Have to wait and see. Hope is the killer, as they say. See, even that saying has a sinister undertone. Ahh! Head's melted.
