Where Is The World Headed?

The Lost World

This is probably the coolest, most poignant and smartest videos I’ve ever seen.  Unlike a palindrome that reads the same backwards as it does forwards and has the same meaning, this reads the EXACT OPPOSITE backwards as it does forward and equally has the opposite meaning.

With all kinds of nasty environmental things going on in the world, including natural disasters like the earthquakes in Haiti, and with the world’s economies in chaos, it’s easy to think that this is the end of the world.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

The Facts

The fact is, there are just as many people (more actually) on the planet than there were a year ago, there is the same amount of resources that there ever was, and there is MORE intellectual power than ever BECAUSE there are more people.

The Problem?

How can this be you ask?  Think about it this way; if there’s less of everything, WHERE HAS IT ALL GONE?  Less energy?  Can’t be.  Energy is neither created are expended, it just changes form, that’s just basic physics.

More people?  yes, but the MATTER (the atoms and molecules that go to MAKE people) has not come onto the planet from outside, it’s ALWAYS been on the planet.  Humans and other animals are MADE from the same materials as what makes everything else.  When we die, out physical bodies will be re-absorbed into the planet and the molecules and atoms will go to make other “stuff”…………..decaying bodies make GREAT fertilizer.  While is sounds a bit odd, it’s factually accurate.

The REAL Problem

The real problem is that most humans including (especially?) the world’s leaders simply DON”T UNDERSTAND enough about the world and how it all works in harmony, to run it properly.  They know VERY WELL how to manipulate people into getting what THEY WANT, but they care nothing about their FLOCK, other than what they can GET FROM THEM (money, power, respect, fear etc.).

If you think this is a very cynical view of the world IT IS!  However, don’t EVER think that being a cynic is bad.  A cynic accurately believes that everybody does what they feel is BEST FOR THEMSELVES.  Hypocrites, on the other hand, SAY that they are doing things for other people when in REALITY they are only doing things that MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL GOOD.

End Of The World?

This is NOT the end of the world.  The coming 5-15 years will be very tough, but CHANGE is always tough.  That is ALL that is really happening, the world is changing.

I can’t predict exactly what will happen, nobody can.  But I am convinced that humans will emerge from the current state it’s in, healthier, mentally stronger and in a better position to do more amazing things than we can currently even dream about.

200 years ago, the thought of flying was nothing more than a dream.  In as little as 160 years, humans were on the moon, sending moving images back to us on little boxes in our houses.

Humans……….some humans………..are amazing.  BE one of them!
