Is Life About The Pursuit Of Things Bigger Than Ourselves?

Image
 I think life is all about doing things in pursuit of something bigger than yourself. Life wouldn't be as extraordinary as it is if you're always thinking about me, me, me. Having your vision set to something larger than yourself is the most fulfilling. It means you're helping others, uplifting those around you, and inspiring others to do the same. That's what matters most. At the end of your life, nobody will remember you for the things you did for yourself. They will remember all you did for others. It's the things that pushed the world forward so all of humanity can benefit. Ego and selfishness get in the way. Fame, money, and power, rather than love, connection, and purpose. Don't fall into the trap. When you're doing something bigger than yourself, your heart is deeply in it. You are so in love with what you're doing, because you know how important it is.

In 2021 I went to dinner with a mixed couple. We chose a Caribbean restaurant in Brixton, South East London. During one of the conversations I had to describe where we lived. In Gravesend. We described Gravesend as “white trash”. I noticed the expression on their face, it looked like they just swallowed turtle poop or something similar.

The other side of the coin was that we’d go camping, do charity at the local Catholic Church where my foster parents were personally involved, we recited 50 Ave Maria’s every May for a week, and I remember we housed a family o

Has Slavery Ended ?

  You’ve never been free, you’ve just been attached to a long leash. Slavery never ended,     it just evolved. In the past they would enslave the body but now the mind has been enslaved. Your mind has been taken from you. You wonder why you’re depressed, you wonder why you’re unmotivated… it’s because deep down you know you’re locked in a cage. Look at the cities you live in compared to the architecture of the past. They even took beauty from you and sold it back to you as luxury. Everything in this world, including food and water has been taken from you and sold back to you. God gave you this earth and there are people who have taken his gift to you and charged you money to access it. What gives them the right to sell you what God gave all of us? You think you live in a democracy but you live in a dictatorship. You drastically underestimate power if you think those in power would give you the opportunity to take from them. Your elections are no more real than the reality tv shows you
