What happened to us? - Altaria - 08-05-2016 This one is inspired in everything that happened and is happening all around the world, just a thought I had in the back of my mind. What to do when the world seems lost What to think when the people mistrust each other What to say when you don't know the suffering of your next Where is the world we dreamed about The world we were told we could build Where wars weren't needed When we all worked together as we are supposed to Lately it seems all dreams, all causes, all hope is lost or broken What happened to that little kid who dreamed about standing against all evil Where are those kids What as become of them? We became corrupted, even if we don't want to admited We did, we tried to be heard, we tried to teach But we saw the ugly truth We saw and couldn't fight it properly So to the ones next to us, learn from us, don't make the same mistake we did. No matter the odds, fight it RE: What happened to us? - Emmie - 08-05-2016 Yeah, a lot of fucked up things happen all around us. Feels horrible that there's so little we can do about it. RE: What happened to us? - Cath - 08-05-2016 I can't but agree with you, but... I really want to do something, but what? That's the problem... RE: What happened to us? - Emmie - 08-05-2016 Yeah, there's too much for any one person to handle, it's just so overwhelming. Which is sad. RE: What happened to us? - Cath - 08-05-2016 Sometimes, being idealistic sucks...

Try to show the ones next to us good examples for a good and peaceful life together (and talking about it ). And if you are in a teaching or leading position, this showing and talking is a good way to "duplicate" this positive, open minded open way of life. ... If EVERYONE would make a step in this direction ... it would lead more in a good world of peace and equality for all ! ... ( ... Sadly only a niiice dream ... especially in this (weird) times ... ) RE: What happened to us? - Sylviekat - 08-06-2016 Unfortunately sometimes well the bully needs to be put in his or her place. Appeasement has a poor track record of resulting in long lasting arrangements that are stable over a period of time. Imagine how the world would have been different if France had used armed intervention to stop Hitler when he moved into Alsace in 1936, rather than back down. It seems we are well on our way to seeing that cycle repeat with the new crisis and threat. RE: What happened to us? - Emmie - 08-06-2016 You say that, but even that wouldn't have been necessary if Hitler and so many others weren't such massive assholes. It's not about being a pacifist. It's about seeing an ideal world where violence wouldn't even be needed, cause people would get along. There are a ton of problems in the world, and most of them are people exploiting other people. Which sadly is the kind of world we live in.

There is a name for a world ike this: Utopia |
