But after all - there is a Solution - Day 358

This is a continuation to my previous blogs: The American Dream of Poverty - Day 356 and The effectiveness of Brainwashing - Day 357 where, I was commenting on aspects I've seen within the documentary America's Poor Kids. Another point that I haven't yet covered is the part where a solution was presented in the documentary however, as I've mentioned in the previously, because of extensive brainwashing, it is highly unlikely that we would realize that the solution was always in front of our eyes without us being able to directly see it.

 

It is a fact that every human being in this world deserve to have a roof above their heads, food to eat, water to drink, health care, education and clothing as a basic requirement to survive in dignity in this world. It is also a fact that within the current world system, these basic human rights are not met.

 

As one can see in the documentary, one of the solutions that were applied was giving a few families a decent house to live in, a house that would be their own, without them having to pay for it and from which they could start restoring their lives. This must be applied for every human on earth isn't it? so how come we haven't seen that this must be the solution to be applied for every living being thus far? We should really question ourselves in terms of why are we waiting or for what are we waiting with applying such a simple point.

 

The resources are available the only thing that separate the solution from a practical application world wide is - the political structure of the current money system.

 

So, while from the documentary perspective, 2 out of the 3 families received a decent house to live in. that in itself is enough for us to conclude that the government is protecting its citizenships, taking care of its citizenships and that we do not have to do anything because apparently, everyone are being supported. However, it is not the case, it is only what they want us to believe because what they don't want us to question is how the system is actually work. And they know that we won't go further and investigate the poverty in the US because this documentary is enough for us to believe that poverty in the US is taken cared for. They want us to believe that housing for everyone is the solution they stand for while it is not, it is just a cover up, a propaganda to keep the us numb and silent and I must say, it is working quite well.

 

Thus, the solution - Housing for everyone on earth is a fraction of the real change that must be walked on earth but to do so, we first must change the political ties that keeps the system running, the system that had allowed  poverty from the first place to manifest

 

Investigate, question and stand up - Equal Money System solution for housing and within that, how it can be implemented once the political system is corrected and changed to a system that is based on the Value of LIFE that is best for all.

The American Dream (of Poverty) - Day 356

 

 

Today I watched the documentary - America's Poor Kids by the BBC. I was actually satisfied initially with how the documentary was done from the perspective of bringing to the American's awareness the consequences of the so call 'American Dream'. In side me, there was a moment of hope that maybe if they see poverty happening in front of their eyes and not just in third world countries, they would start questioning the system. But as the documentary progressed, I realized that it won't make any difference and especially when the characters they chose to document were those family who were lucky enough to get a house eventually.


So what is the American Dream?

The American Dream is a national ethos of the United States, a set of ideals in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward social mobility achieved through hard work. In the definition of the American Dream by James Truslow Adams in 1931, "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement" regardless of social class or circumstances of birth.

The idea of the American Dream is rooted in the United States Declaration of Independence which proclaims that "all men are created equal" and that they are "endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights" including "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

(Source: Wikipidia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Dream)

 

So what went wrong along the way? I mean 82 years has passed and the American Dream of Opportunities and prosperity and success that should have been Equal for everyone is no where to be found unless you are one of those lucky few who where able to either born to money or get access to money but for most part, the Dream remain on a mental state of sleeping rather something that was actually physically manifested.

 

I mean, would it be Commonsensically to assess the Equation and either do remediation on the parts of the equation that aren’t working and align the equation so that the 'Dream' could be physically manifested? In this, the part that was always missing is the part where one is waking up from the dream and start working out an equation that would bring about the physical expression of the dream isn't it?

So now, 82 years has passed and still  - we are all asleep, hoping for a better future, hoping that someone would save the day exactly as how things works out in the movies and TV series we almost hypnotically watch which is not far from our own dream - it is all taking place in some virtual reality without any physical grounds.

 

One of the kids in the 'American's poor kids' repeatedly said that no child should go through what she has gone through and I agree, no child should, no man and woman should, no animal should and yet, it is happening on a day to day basis all over the world and the Poverty epidemic is worsening.

 

So will we wake up and start questioning why and how the dream didn't come through? A good place to start is the Equal Money System website where the equation is slowly but surely busy forming, an equation that is based on a value that is honourable - the value of Life that is best for all on a physical level.

Horror of slaves in 2013 - Day 353

 

 

Shashi Obhrai threatened to kill the woman and bury her in the garden"An Indian woman who was kept as a slave and passed between three middle class families… was beaten, burned and raped…  she was forced to work for £2 an hour and raped several times… Her passport was taken away and she was forced to work 17-hour shifts seven days a week, fed only on out-of-date food and the chewed leftovers of their three children…

 

...When the woman, who could only speak Hindi, tried to contact police on multiple occasions but she was returned to her abusers and they were used as interpreters...

 

..The woman, who is illiterate, came to Britain in 2005 in search of a better life, but was left wheelchair-bound after being injured so badly by her 'employers' over a three-year period….

 

...The victim was left with scars on her body from the fingernails.. dragged her down stairs, burned her with an iron and threatened to stab her with insulin needles.

 

...Over the three years she was kept as a slave, she was paid just £2,000, which she sent back to her family in Hyderabad… Authorities estimate that she should have earned £170,000 during that time, considering the long hours she was forced to work."

 

Source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2312024/Horror-slave-kept-2million-home-raped-passed-middle-class-families.html

 

This is a story of a woman who hoped for a better life for herself and her family if only she leaves her country and find a decent job in England and so be able to send her salary to her poor family in India. This is not the story of this woman alone, this is a story of millions or even billions of people who forced to a life of slavery just to survive and protect their families. But it is not a story, it is a living reality for so many, it is a daily vivid nightmare of suffering, pain, abuse and atrocity. It is not a story - it is the world we are living in; a world where this living condition is accepted and allowed by all of us, mainly those who have at least enough to live a protected and decent life; us who do nothing to even bather and give a second thought about the devastating state of the world we have created ourselves.

 

So help me understand - how is it possible that slavery still exists in this world?

Help me understand why we do nothing about it?

Help me understand how have we become so self cantered, egotistic, selfish human beings that cannot apply simple principles such as: Give as you would like to receive, Love your neighbour as yourself and investigate all things and keep that which is best for all?

 

Help me understand why you wouldn't stand up now and say: I'm ashamed of myself; I realized that as long as I'm doing nothing, I'm part of the problem.

 

So - if you finally realized you are part of the problem and you are willing to stand as the solution - study the Equal Money System solution to transform this world into a world where all lives are honoured and protected; Understand the power of the mass and become the driving force of the mass that is standing, moving and directing this world to a world that is best for all. Let's change the story...

The Dark Side of Capitalism - Poverty (Part 4) - Day 307

This is a continuation to my Previous blogs:

The Dark Side of Capitalism - Poverty (Part 1) - Day 304

The Dark Side of Capitalism - Poverty (Part 2) - Day 305

The Dark Side of Capitalism - Poverty (Part 3) - Day 306

 

Maya H (3)Where I mentioned that we are going to:

have a look at the Principles the Current Capitalistic System is based on and how the Current Capitalistic System that Promote abuse in this world had been advertised and "sold" for us to accept and allow the system without ever questioning its validity.

For this, we will look at the Questions and Answers published on the website - Capitalism.org to show the Problems that currently exist and accordingly, present solutions to correct the Manifested consequences and the Rewards of implementing the Equal Money Capitalism System.

 

Within this blog, we are going to look at the following Question and Answer:

 

The Problem

 

"What of those who cannot truly help themselves?

The few individuals in a capitalist society who are incapable of taking care of themselves — such as the retarded, crippled, and orphans (which are a small and tiny minority in any free country) — are provided for through voluntary means, i.e., private charity."

 

See, here is another example of the Status Queue we have accepted and allowed within and as this world. If we look at the design of Orphans and why Orphans exists is in most cases a direct connection and relationship with the inability to afford the life of the child and therefor, the parents that have no substantial support in this world, would rather give up their child within the hope they would receive a better opportunity in their life than keeping the child, knowing the life the child would have.

So what have we done within the Capitalistic System? Instead of making sure that we all take Equal Responsibility for each and every child in this world and thus, decide upon a system that would support a life of each human being from birth till death, we shifted the responsibility towards Volunteers and Private Charity and Excused ourselves from our Responsibility towards and of Life.

 

In my Previous blog Series with regards to Charity, I've shown in detail why and how Charity is in no way the solution and yet, it is promoted and advertised as a 'Good' thing without realizing it is THE thing that perpetuate the world's problem because it provide a back door for us to not take responsibility and change the world system to a system that consider, respect, protect and honour all Life Equally.

 

So instead of Questioning why the Design of Orphans exists in this world and within that, why we have accepted and allowed it to manifest to begin with, we cover up the problem with Charities and Donations without looking for a solution that would Eradicate the existent of Orphan children where each child will grow up in a cared and caressed environment with a parent to look up for the child. It is Doable - in an Equal Money System.

 

Now, with regards to the Question and Answer above - is another example of how such an important question is NOT being answered in absolute detail and specificity. For starter, there are MANY human beings that truly cannot help themselves in this world and that include not only the 7 Billion people that lives under 2$ per day but also the Elderly Human Being in this world that are dependent on social security or on their families if they are lucky, to take care of them. Most of them, if they do not have the funds to be able to live in a private elderly institutions, finds themselves in their death beds in the most crucial and outrageous condition no human being should experience. That again, can only exists within a system that is based on Inequality, Inhumanity and Disrespect for Life such as the Current Capitalistic System as it exists now.

 

Obviously, this topic is not to be disregarded and dismissed but rather, take into absolute consideration and accordingly, we must walk towards unconditionally solution that would prevent one from not being able to help themselves due to the unacceptable world system we exists within and as.

 

The Solution

 

First and foremost - we must do our research to understand the extent of the Problem presented in the Question:

"What of those who cannot truly help themselves?" and in this, to understand the core/root/cause of the problem so that from there, we could come up with a practical solutions for each and every individual case.

 

In General, within an Equal Money System, where each human being is taken cared for, from birth till Death, the problem as it is exists today would decrease dramatically. However, that is not the absolute solution since the problem is multidimensional problem that individual solutions must be established in making sure we Prevent the problem from reoccurring again.

When the time comes, I will walk in detail each and every aspect mentioned in this blog to reveal the Current problems and the specific Solution that can practically be applied within an Equal Money System.

 

The Reward

 

Place yourself in the shoes of the parents that have to give up their child because they  cannot give the child the life every child should have. Now, Place yourself in the Shoes a 6 months pregnant mother that knows she must give up her child and imagine her Experience. However now, tell this Mother that the World System had changed and she is now supported, as well as her child for the rest of her life - Imagine her Experience when realizing she is no longer living a life of Survival and can actually Live a life that is worthwhile. Can you see the Reward now?

The Dark Side of Capitalism - Poverty (Part 1) - Day 304

 

This is a continuation to my Previous blog where I shared how those in the favour of the Current Capitalistic System, rationalize and thus justify the abuse and harm that exists in this world.

The Equal Money Capitalism System is a system that would restore the REAL values that originally the Capitalistic System was supposed to be and accordingly, a few alignment and adjustments must be taken place in order to Correct the system to a system that is based on the Principle that the Value of Life is the Most Respected and Honoured value that exist and it is thus, the Stepping stone from which each and every single decision that would be made within an Equal Life Money System.

 

Let's have a look at the Principles the Current Capitalistic System is based on and how the Current Capitalistic System that Promote abuse in this world had been advertised and "sold" for us to accept and allow the system without ever questioning its validity.

For this, we will look at the Questions and Answers published on the website - Capitalism.org to show the Problems that currently exists and accordingly, present solutions to correct the Manifested consequences and the Rewards of implementing the Equal Money Capitalism System.

 

The Problem:

What about the poor under capitalism?

The other side of that question is: what about those who are not poor?

What of them? Let us not forget that the “rich” are people too, and they also have the right to their life, their right to liberty, and their right to their property, and their right to pursue happiness.

 

If one have a look at the Question and Answer, the question wasn't answered but has been diverted to make one Feel Good because after all, it is highly unlikely that the 'Poor' would read through this pages and would oppose to the manipulation tactics that has been used.

 

Within the answer, what one is basically stating is that, the Rich are People too and have the right for Life however, in between the words, what is implied is that the Poor can die for the Life of the rich because after all, that is the current situation under the Capitalism system or in other words: the poor may die for the Right of the Rich to Live.

 

While the Rich has the 'right to their life, their right to liberty, and their right to their property, and their right to pursue happiness', the poor does not because all of the above rights can be provided ONLY with Money. Wouldn't that imply that the Value of Life within the Current Capitalistic System is Equal to the Value of Money?

 

The Problem here is the use and abuse of Positive Psychology to make One Rationalized their Right to Life above another and in doing so, to disregard the Equal Right of all Living Being to have a life that is actually worthwhile, dignified where Happiness for Real can be Pursue as long as the Happiness is not on the expanse of the Harm of another.

Within the above answer (oh, I'm sorry - justification), there is nothing really rational about it and it is the most irrational statement where one Life is Valued more than another to justify the continuation of abused that is accepted and allowed in this world to the extent of which no one will dare to question and stand up to correct the problem.

 

This Answer is a perfect example of how the human consciousness has been diverted into one's own self interest bubble and I must add, it isn't even very sophisticated way I mean - this type of diversions are really easy to be spot on however, our mind is so infused into the Principle of self interest and survival that no one could actually see the ridiculous of stating such an answer to a simple question: "What about the poor under capitalism?"

 

I can tell you what would be the answer within and Equal Money Capitalism: the 'Poor' under the Equal money Capitalism would be existent only within the History books, to show the extent of the irrationality of our past generations that led to a massive abuse and harm in this world. It would be mentioned in the history books as a reminder for ourselves to never again accept and allow anything that is less than Life itself. There would be no Poor within the Equal Money Capitalism as the Value of Life is the most honoured value that exists and if a single Poor person exists because the system forced the poor to be poor, there is something unacceptable within the system that require quantum correction and prevention to take place.

 

The Solutions:

To Eradicate Poverty, one must realize that there are multidimensional Points we must consider and at this point, we do not have the exact Mathematical Equation to manifest the solution from today to tomorrow.

The General guidelines are in place and the content of the 'How-To' needs to be written after extensive research, measurement, assessments and considerations.

Overall, to eradicate Poverty what needs to be done is the following:

1. Create the foundations for each and every human being in this world to sustain a fulfilling Life. That means that one will have free access to the Earth Resources through effective distribution and revision system.

In this, Jobs will be created, Support will be provided, resources will distributed and all would be able to live from Birth till Death without worrying about the next day.

2. Education - Education is the KEY to slowly but surely acquire the necessary life skills that are required to exists within this interconnectedness reality that consists of and exists as the sum total of the relationships that created this Life from the get go. In other words - We must empower, grow and expand ourselves to be and become effective human beings in this world that would contribute according to one's ability and capability to the better living of us all. For more information with regards to the difference between the Education system within the current Capitalistic System and Education within the Equal Money System, please visit the EMS Wiki page - http://equalmoney.org/wiki/Education

 

The Rewards:

Imagine a life where the Fear of Survival will only be existent in the History books.. Imagine a life where one is no longer require to fight day and night to bring food on the table.. Imagine a life where you can actually be with your children and watch them grow, instead of having to be at work for 15 hours a day while others take care of your kids in the best case scenario.. Imagine a Life where you no longer afraid that someone would steal something you own because everyone will have what you have.. Imagine a life that can be actually Lived!

With the Equal Money System, you can stop imagining but instead, live the life you always dreamt of.

I mean seriously now - once you go through the Equal Money System proposal, you wouldn't believe how is it possible that we didn't think about this solution sooner. So do your research and let's work together to manifest a system that would benefit us all.

Education Will END Child Marriage in an Equal Money Capitalism - Day 289

If you haven't already, I suggest to read the Previous blogs to have encompassing understanding with regards to Child Marriage in terms of the severe Problems and the Practical Solutions that would implemented within an Equal Money Capitalism System:

Abusive child marriages will END in an Equal Money System - Day 284

Child Marriage will END in an Equal Money System (Overview) - Day 285

Poverty and Child Marriage will END in an Equal Money Capitalism - Day 286

 

The Problem:

 

Education and Child Marriage (Facts and Figures)

  • Girls with higher levels of schooling are less likely to marry as children. In Mozambique, some 60 percent of girls with no education are married by 18, compared to 10 percent of girls with secondary schooling and less than one percent of girls with higher education.
  • Educating adolescent girls has been a critical factor in increasing the age of marriage in a number of developing countries, including Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Thailand.

 

On top of that, one of the reasons for child marriage is the little likelihood of a high level educated girls to marry as a grown-ups because then, the girls are not as submissive as they tend to be when they didn't go through the Educational School years. The Boys' family prefer submissive girls than a strong characteristic girls for multiple reasons while the main reason is the preference of having a cheap labour force. In other words, uneducated girl is more likely to be trained to become a slave without having the basic life skills to stand up for herself. She is more likely to be manipulated and mould into the husband family wants, needs and desires, when and as the girl isn't educated. And so, some families feels pressure to marry the daughter as young as possible, even if that means that the child won't be able to continue her education, to increase the financial pressure on the Girl's family and to avoid 'future consequences' of having to provide for the child in her adult years if it happens that she won't get married.

The Solution:

 

Educating adolescent girls has been a critical factor in increasing the age of marriage in a number of developing countries, including Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Thailand. (Mathur, S., M.Greene and A. Malhotra (2003).

 

clip_image002[4]

 

Education within an Equal Money Capitalism is one of the important gaols if not the most important one, within the understanding that to be able to become an effective human being in this world and therefor, contribute to the better living of All, Education is required from a very young age.

Accordingly, when every human on earth is supported from birth to death, Education would be accessible for all without causing a pressure on the Family. Obviously, that includes all human beings, no matter what their age is and therefor, cultural habits would change with the introduction of the parents to Awareness of the Consequences and the Possibilities that are available to prevent such consequences.

 

Education, shouldn't be the responsibility of the family to provide but the responsibility of us all, in making sure that every child of this world will receive the best education possible no matter where the child is from or what beliefs the child grow up with. Education would be Free and no longer increase the financial pressure on a families because such pressure would cease to exists within the Equal Money System.

 

One of the Equal Money System Goals is Education:

"Education in an Equal Money System will prepare Each Human to become a Self-Aware, Responsible Part of the Human Race that lives a fulfilled and Extra Ordinary Life of Excellence, Happiness and fun. Equal Money will Ensure that every Citizen is Effectively Educated to Live in Harmony with Plants, Animals and the Environment in General."

 

For more information regarding Education in an Equal Money System, Please visit the Equal Money Wiki page:

The Role of Education in an Equal Money System

 

The Reward:

Imagine a Human Society where no one is left behind, when all are fully educated and aware of their accountability and responsibility for themselves and this world as a whole.

Imagine what improvements in science, technology and etc. we can come up with when Billion of people have now an opportunity to discover their capacity, their capability and their intelligent in finding solutions that can assist and support to perfect our lives.

I mean, in a perfect world, where there is no longer a need to compete for one's survival as all are taken care for, education can be truly an education process of assisting and supporting the beings to be more than who they currently are, due to the limitation that existent within the current education in the world, and to within that, develop reasoning and mathematical thinking, reading and writing skills that would result with higher level of effective human beings in this world, rather than automated robots that are being subjected to limit of education the Elite places upon the Educational programs. This is another problem that I would expand upon eventually but for the time being, I suggest to watch: The College Conspiracy and reading the article that was published just yesterday: Schools don't teach life skills warns Charles: Prince says education system leaves youngsters unable to develop into successful adults

 

Videos that I suggest watching:

Why Poverty - Welcome to the World - Day 288

When I watched 'Why Poverty - Welcome to the World', I assumed that I'd be 'Prepared' to what I was about to watch. I mean, I'm well aware of what is going on in this world, I'm aware of the Severe Problems that this world is suffering from and I'm aware that people are suffering - I've seen it in my own eyes when I was traveling around the world. And yet - the documentary struck me hard.

 

I experienced extreme Sadness; Anger; Guilt; Shame; Frustration; but mostly Anger towards myself because I have seen in my own eyes what is going on in this world but I didn't care, it was a moment that passed and I could continue with my happy, no worries life. I was Angry that it took me so long to take my responsibility and investigate for real what is going on from the starting point of becoming the voice of these people that cannot stand for themselves and from the understanding that if I truly want to make a change in this world, I must get to the core/origin/source/root of the problem, to be able to stand as a living solution.

 

I was shocked from my own ignorance and the ignorance of humanity as a whole. I was shocked that we do nothing practical to use the resources that are available in this world and distribute it effectively so that no one would ever have to face what these people, the majority of this world, face in every single day.

 

Then I realized that I was Reacting instead of walking the Principle of Prevention and that as long as I'm Reacting, I'm of no use for the people that require us to stand together and walk the change we would like to see in this world. I realized that so long as I'm reacting, I'm wasting a breath that could have been a great assistance and support for these people if only I had committed myself to walk in every breath towards a solution that is best for all and within that, do what ever necessary to be done to End this Atrocity once and for all.

 

I transformed the Sadness to a constructive application - Self Motivation so absolutely that I commit myself to put my self interest aside, for this one life time and do what ever I'm capable of doing so that when I die, I die with no regret because I know, that I didn't accept and allow myself to waste a breath on irrelevant and meaningless things but rather, utilize every breath I have left in this One life time to assist and support myself to effectively stand up for those who needs us to stand up for a life that is best for all.

 

The truth is - I was about to access Depression as I felt Powerless and useless but fortunately, I live with people that reminded me that going into Depression won't make any difference but standing up from the depression and continue doing everything in my power to support myself and therefor, supporting others, is what counts.

So I decided to share with you this blog, as a support from me to you, as the support that I've received today in being able to transform the reactions into a solution because anything less than that, would prolong the process of us all.

 

There is a solution for this world, a solution that would bring about dignity and worth for each and every Human being, animal and nature. Unfortunately, I cannot do this alone. No one can. Because no one Alone created this mass, we all had participated and thus part of this fuck up and therefor, we all must stand cooperatively and Correct that which we are accountable for.

 

If you are interested in Life, interested in leaving a world of worth after you die, interested in making sure that no one would ever go to sleep hungry - stand up for LIFE today and invest your time in studying the Equal money System. The longer we wait, the longer others would have to continue suffering. We decide.
