To What End this Great Struggle?

We are in the midst of what may potentially be an unprecedented event in the history of the human species. A global, spontaneous, decentralized uprising against injustice, tyranny and destruction. One that has slowly meandered across Eurasia, through the Middle East, breaking out in Europe and that has now moved into the United States. But while we may know the face against which we strive, do we know for what we fight for?

To what end should we exert ourselves? What does a world in which there is triumph look like?

To those that currently lead the efforts for change - and to you, reading here, perhaps one of tens of thousands leaders who do not yet even know they will be called to lead, let these words be submitted to you. Let them be kept under consideration during these times that are upon us, and the times to come in which to build, and rebuild, in the wake of the change that has already begun.


Will there be real triumph while our laws protect those that exploit us, our communities, and our nations?

Will there be real justice while our waters are being poisoned, our soils and farms defiled, our air filled with toxins?

Will there be real peace while institutionalized secrecy is used to keep us fearful, weak and divided?

Will there be real freedom while the laws meant to protect all only apply to a few?

Will there be real prosperity while the few are still allowed to impoverish the many?

Will there be real government while the whole of society is not expected to participate in its own governance?

Will there be real community while consumerism is advocated as an alternative to connection?

Will there be real wellness while disease is seen as a means to make profit?

Will there be real openness while expressing the truth is punishable?

Will there be real hope while our ability to discover for ourselves is suppressed?

Will there be real progress while those developments that could improve our lives are attacked, repressed, lied about or actively destroyed?

Will there be real economy while we sacrifices tomorrow's NECESSITIES for today's GLUTTONIES?


Will there be a real chance for our children, grandchildren and our great grandchidlren unless we have genuinely, compassionately, collaboratively and wisely addressed these questions?
