The False Feeling of Hopeless Isolation

A feeling of hopelessness and isolation paralyzes some people who need only to step down from their pedestal of self pity. The light will always be above us. There will always be openings, things to try. paths to take and people to get to get together with.

Happiness is an attribute of accomplishment. We can achieve happiness by accomplishing small goals on the way to great ones. Anyone can start by avoiding as many corporate products as possible. What do we eat, drink, and read? What do we wear? How do we party and play? We can start building a world for people today.

Real heroes are not fantasy fighter figures. They are common people doing the right thing and standing tall against the commercial bullies telling us what we should look like, how we should act and what we should think. Real heroes don’t listen to the messages of wealthy rulers telling us to trust in the wealthy rulers. Real heroes listen to their hearts and identify with the needs of people.

We need no one to tell us what’s right and wrong. We’re born with that knowledge. And we need no one to tell us what to do. We can figure that out for ourselves. That is to say if we try to figure it out, and not trust others to solve our problems.

“Doing what we can is enough to do everything that needs to be done.”
