Disarmament

The USA (if not Israel or China) has probably spent the most money on weapons, aircrafts, bases, and other articles of war. I don't really understand why, when everyone is so united and connected friends on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, the world is still at war with each other. What is everyone afraid of? Why can't we all just share this Planet we all live in: the resources, the water, the earth, the wealth? How did man start living in the ancient of days? Is there really supposed to be a war among nations? We are one specie, same beginnings, same final destination of Death, and we are intelligent enough to share and not survive like the fittest in the wild. We are far more superior than snakes and lions, hyenas and crocs. We don't need to be predatory at all times in order to live happy and do more than just thrive.

There is no war! The battle is in our minds, fueled by worry and fear. We think we are on our own, separate from each other, and that we should do all that we can in our youth so we can secure old age, loneliness, and death. What a miserable way to live!

In most poverty stricken communities, people tend to help each other, live together, and care for each other. They do all they can to stay together and live harmoniously with their neighbors, so when disaster strikes, they can count on each other. There is so much to do and redesign in the way things are delivered in our modern society. We should go back to being farmers, fishermen, and caretakers of the world we live in. We don't need that much to survive or be happy. Our basic needs as a child are the same needs we have as adults - food, clothing, shelter, laughter, and Love. Simple and Pure.

I look at my semi minimalist living space, and I sometimes feel like there's so much going on, it still feels cluttered, and a lot of things are sitting around that I haven't even used for more than a year now. Why am I arming myself with things I think I might need in the future that might not even come? Why does one need underwear, pants/skirt over the underwear, a bra, shirt/top/dress over the bra, hat, necklace, ring, ankle bracelets, earrings, etc. to live life? I am all about fashion and interesting forms of self representation, but there is no jail for fashion crimes as of yet.

Disarm yourself with all the unnecessary clutter, accessory, people, stress, and drama in your life. The only war is the one you stage in your mind. Life didn't create you to fight a war, or be worried and afraid for the rest of your life. If I was alive the first 10 years of Earth's existence, I'd be swimming in white sand beaches, climbing fruit trees, laughing and inventing stories with other humans, enjoying life in its purest existentialist form! Come 2013, we have more knowledge of the world around us, we know better about nature and agriculture, and yet we still live like there is not enough, that we should arm ourselves for Armageddon and the end of the world. The world will only end because we have destroyed it with senseless acts of mania and destruction. If we nurture the Earth and each other, we can live longer, better, healthier, and thus happier.

But we need to disarm ourselves of the sillyness, and start living like co-inhabitants in this fragile planet we live in. Stop building walls, reach out and help one another. Give when you can, share when you have some. If we all do this, the Spiritual Energy of The Universe will sustain us and give us much more than we could ask for and worry about.

We were born naked and unarmed into a Universe that is all natural, all loving, and has no agenda of War.

Eat, play, laugh, love.
