Why did we let shallow people set societal standards?
I need depth.
If I’m hungry for knowledge, don’t give me an organic granola bar. I want meatloaf.
There were civilizations in Africa while Neanderthals hid in the Caucus Mountains. Told us we were cavemen. No, YALL were cavemen. We were civilized. Then, y’all came out the caves and everything y’all touched turned to shit. Y’all throw a US flag on it and make it standard?
The fact that the British were in India for centuries, changed their cities names, is mind boggling to me. Like, how tf are we celebrating “explorers” when most of them were murdering ass predators?
How evil do you have to be to kill people who welcome you? The crazy thing is they looked at it as weakness to prey on. They KNEW they were docile people, almost killed off an entire race of people. Millions. This was before the Holocaust. Indigenous genocide was the blueprint!
Every person outside of the US that came here already thinking we are lazy and violent says that we are portrayed that way in the media and they have no other points of reference.
Keeping people in survival mode the coming to poke them while recording it is how you change the world’s perception of those people. We have immigrants come here thinking we are lazy until they’re treated like we are.
You can stop talking about the past if you want. It doesn’t change the fact that it happened. You can’t prevent history from repeating itself if you don’t actually know the history. Putting time between the events and ignoring it doesn’t mean the effects go away.
There has to be balance in everything. I like the depiction of “yin and yang”. Light and dark are not opposites, they’re partners. They will always find balance.
I wish we perceived ourselves as stewards of the Earth, as opposed to its rulers. We’re supposed to be taking care of things, and we’re destroying our home because a few people want to hoard money.
I love the way Natives approach taking care of the Earth.
Being still is the worst thing for people to be. What happens to still water? What happens to your body if glucose is just sitting in your system?
We are not supposed to be stationary or single minded.
If you ever find yourself angry about what someone else is doing that doesn’t affect you, find you some business or something to put your focus and energy towards. Idgaf what other have going on, I don’t even look at it until they open up.
