If I Ruled The World
Thoughts On The Times
“If I Ruled The World…”
It’s been a long & bumpy few years. Like everyone, I dealt with the pandemic. In addition, personal upheaval, a very bad reaction to the vaccines, & simply not knowing what would happen next. Unfortunately, it’s put all my creativity on the back burner. I’ve just been too overwhelmed with the minutiae of trying to reestablish a healthy, productive & happy new life to even think about, much less work on, my portfolio.
In the coming months, I plan on writing pieces on each of the following ideas, but for now-just snippets on subjects I think are too important to ignore:
-The industrial revolution was the moment for societal reconstruction. Instead, the robber barons imposed the system that has destroyed the planet & left 90% of humanity unable to live properly. And, to date, nothing has been done to break the hold of the small, powerful elite that has decimated the world in its’ elitism & greed.
-When will the world realize that a level, equal playing field will improve everyone’s quality of life. It takes everything & everyone up a notch & personifies true democratic principles. Why is the old, white male guard so afraid of free market competition? It can only be they’ve grown fat, lazy & entitled & don’t want to work hard or compete. Better to invest in politicians that they can bribe to keep their world intact. All of todays’ ills will continue to occur & pollute everyday life if everyone does not find ways to evolve differently.
-Food for thought for those who think Ukraine does not concern us. In the decades since World War II, the west has cruised on general peace & prosperity & ignored the growing alarms that have been ringing more & more often. When someone like Putin behaves as he does, he should not be allowed to continue to decimate & destroy with impunity. There should be a global consensus not afraid to protect those who cannot protect themselves. An international team sent in to make sure he’s stopped. Imprisoned perhaps? If not, that leads me to my next point:
-This one will anger many, but I am nothing if not authentic in my opinions. When we discover a dangerous, destructive animal-we put them down. Why aren’t we applying the same standards to the human species? Pedophiles…
