Gardening at a protest house on a major highway to stop a 6 lane highway being built through an ecological habitat. |
A common attitude amongst people with empathy for world issues and at least the ability to see that this system is collapsing around them is that they would like to do something but they are too busy to do anything about it.
"I've got 2 jobs and 5 kids and dance classes and this and that," well that's great but it doesn't solve the reality that unless you stand up for change - change won't happen. And the pincers of societal regulations keep getting tighter and tighter and Australia keeps losing more and more of its rights because 'I am too busy'.
With something like the TPP - unless we stand to stop this now - the foundation that your busy-ness is sitting upon now will suddenly become very hard to subsist upon. The rules are changing. The game is changing, and you have the opportunity to change things for the interest of people over profits now. . Speak now or forever hold your chains to corporateocracy.
If we are going to be free and protect our freedoms and rights for time to come we are all going to have to make time. Or face losing everything.
Lose fear. Lose self interest. Do the minimum you require in order to survive, but get involved!
Society keeps us this busy for a reason. So we have no time for being involved.
The promises of the technological revolution only apply to the top 5 percent. They most definitely have not applied to you. Wakey wakey!
Make time.
This is your priority.
Love.
