Close to Home: Examining the Passion of Urgency, No. 56



The news radiates from all devices, like a siren of death, tragedy and occasional joy. Billboards, buses, taxis and public places are saturated with world news, state broadcasts or incidences close to home. The roaring machine never stops; sleep patterns are disrupted as the minds tick over. Sound, colour, emotion and partial truth have tentacles that drag the uplifted to desolate places. Ignorance is the preferred place of many because the sensitive cannot bear to live in a world where they are transfixed by fear.

Lives are suddenly interrupted whether we choose ignorance or not when front page news becomes personal. The news is full of other people’s problems, but when those situations involve family members, friends or co-workers a passion of urgency arises. The desire to help is strong; the individual wants to relieve the stress, though it stays heightened anyway. There will always be some situations that no one could have foreseen. One can only sit in the circumstances and manage it day by day.

Eventually calm and common sense take hold and urgency subsides, though memories remain on a softer level. Emotional intelligence shows a peak in humanities evolution, though every person has unique and volatile emotions that occasionally impede this progress. The people of Earth have proven their love for living; they just prefer a better quality existence when it comes to communication. Though snippets of good communication are seen on our screens, a great deal more is needed. Communication or even debating needs to be a bigger part of our classroom learning as threats and bullying seem common place in the playground. Arguments between children should not end with hatred. Balanced children become wise adults that may one day have the desire to govern in fairness. Prevention is the foundation of good leadership and dedicated individuals are always required.

Though it’s hard to avoid the constant negativity of local or world news, happiness and joy find little exposure on these shows. Few would have seen programs where there wasn’t some horrific incident before finding happiness, because only sensational stories of survival make it to news broadcasts and current affairs shows. Though these are true life stories, keep focused on the positive, take a full share of joy from life. Do not take daily life for granted, these are the special days. Have the occasional break from devices; day trips to a beach, mountain or rainforest should be added to the calendar. See how beautiful nature is, feel the innate energy in living things. Soak in the sounds of joy.

Women’s Rights via Revolution, No 71

Image
  The breadcrumbs of misogyny are easily seen in a history of women’s suffering and denial of rights. Patriarchal religious societies that purposely put men first for at least two thousand years are now witnessing its noxious failure. Corrupt governments that are self-focused are quickly measured by angry public sentiment. Governments without gender balance have become dens of mistrust. Lack of respect towards women in male dominated workplaces can be uncomfortable or become dangerous. Systemic sexism developed slowly; its design seeping toxically through millennia and distorting daily life. Parent’s desires to have boys, because they could work and support their parents in retirement and carry on the family name, only added to social attitudes towards girls and women. Words and language used to restrict or belittle females flourished in older writings where they were often portrayed in extremes for their value as virgin brides, harlots, mothers or Saints. Women’s education was oft

The Futurist

Image
The future is a sort of unattainable place, the moment you’re there it becomes the present and shortly after the past. Though people are always in the present, their minds spend a great deal of time speculating about future developments or the ideal life. Time is also spends time sifting through relevant past experiences that benefit the present. Its little wonder people have trouble with concentration and focus. How will the future look, will it be people friendly and can the natural world sustain growing global communities? It is the job of the futurist to contemplate, calculate and create inspired plans that may become a living reality. The futurist is a visionary with an analytical mind for calculations. These are very different places for the mind to congregate; the creative visionary and mathematical analyst would more often be two distinct people. This combination of traits offers a unique outlook. The futurist could be a scientist, inventor, creative genius or phil

The Evolution of Future Sensitives, No. 69

Image
In order to combat global deterioration, heightened sensitivity is evolving. This seed in many is strong and focused, though not given the world platform needed to grow in the general populous. Human nature is moving away from aggression in very slow increments because its purpose is limited. Survival has not moved far from prehistoric models, people are still threatened by other people and changes in nature. Unfortunately, a percentage of misleading companies and governments have the power to destroy who or what they like for continued profit. Though humanity needs some sort of governance to avoid chaos, overt control over populations creates even more conflict. Only gentle compassionate leadership is needed to create stable and fair civilisations. It’s not hard to see that our time on a liveable planet is limited. Prevention is a better place to be because some things are not curable. The enemy has a human face and greed through socially advancement is its vehicle. This is
