When we are face to face with death at a young age, we tend to look at life differently. We develop a perspective that can see beyond the surface and propaganda.
Sometimes that can come off as detached and cynical. We have to work at nurturing the softer side and balance out using our heart and mind, while staying empathic and open minded.
Our world is full of division and derision. We have to do our part to reverse this.
We also need to try to work together to reverse decades, if not centuries, of greed and the need to control others by dividing and pitting one against each other for the sake of greed, power and a money-hungry group of people.
Instead, we should help each other to coexist peacefully, regardless of background and beliefs.
“The purpose of propaganda is to make one set of people forget that other sets of people are humans.” – Aldous Huxley
Throughout history, there have been many articles, books, documentaries and films warning us of the path we humans have been on…
Some songs that provide insights on this:
“Us and Them” by Pink Floyd
“Crime of the Century” by Supertramp
“Driven to Tears” by The Police
“Right in two” by Tool
Don’t blindly follow the path without looking beyond the surface with an open mind. Never place blame on others for the road you are on. It’s your own asphalt.
