Social Issues
The Insanity of Mankind
By Dr. W. H. Clark, Ed.D.
It is unfortunate that in this modern world in which we live
in today, the only thing our leaders continue to do is the
age-old activity of warring with each other. It's ridiculously
unbelievable that we humans still have not learned how to
live in peace, but then again it's only been 25,000-30,000
years since the first of us primates started killing one another.
It is still the same old game of cat and mouse that our forefathers
and the kings of old played since the dawn of humanity. Who
can cheat and steal the most from their neighbor? As a reference,
I'll just ask you to study a little World History to understand
what I'm talking about. When are we going to grow up? The
question I'd like to pose to you is do any of the current
world governments need to have the destructive power that
they have today?
It was determined years ago with the conception
of democracy during the time of Pericles in ancient Greece
that one man didn't need such power. In that time, any free
man could voice his concerns call for a referendum and the
governing masses, the people of Athens, would vote democratically
to reach a consensus. However, before and after that time
in history, the kings of the earth ruled only by the power
of war without democracy and as tyrants or dictators. Today
what democracy we do have is diluted and the majority of citizens
are being enslaved. Therefore, I would like you to consider
what is it that can really make a group of men and women,
who call themselves public servants, provide us, the people,
with a government claiming to have a checks and balances system,
when the only real agenda they have is the same as it used
to be during the middle ages, to pad their own pockets with
more land and more money from taxation while rendering us
as little representation as possible. Government is supposed
to serve the people, however, this is simply not true in any
country throughout the world today.
When are we, the people, going to wake up and
realize that all of the governments of the world are formulated
only to serve the members who hold positions within it, and
not the citizens who support them? We have been foolish to
support this kind of government and even more indignantly,
we have been the ones who have been duped into believing that
the politicians are there for our best interests and to serve
us. The truth is, they only serve themselves. Here we sit,
doing nothing, at the brink of nuclear world war, allowing
a self-righteous power hungry mad isolationist to dictate
the rules of war and peace to the rest of us, while our own
corrupt government leaders plot and make a ploy for the riches
that they will gain when the 30-year winters subside. They
all have safe havens to retreat to. What about the rest of
us, the salaried men and women, the mothers who take care
of our children and manage the house hold, which by the way
is the most important job of all, and the ones of us who are
just trying to survive the modern day slavery in which the
governments have thrust upon us and which we face every-single-day
of our lives? Where will we go, what will we do, when nuclear
obliteration brought about by these mindless egos who lust
only for power, when our homes and families comes to pass?
Shall we just sit by and perish?
What a horrible thing it is when two or more
armies come together to wage war with one another. However,
as crazy as it sounds this is semi understandable, because
both armies have been trained in the tactics of war and are
or should be prepared for battle. In days of old, they would
meet in an open field away from civilization to carryout their
heinous acts. However, to drop or plant a nuclear device,
a weapon of mass destruction, on innocent civilians, just
us ordinary everyday people, to destroy our homes, businesses,
places of worship, schools, and our lives themselves is TOTAL
and ABSOLUTE INSANITY to say the least. Didn't we learn anything
from the results of both holocausts in Japan and Europe after
World War II? How much longer are we going to tolerate this
nonsense?
As we all know, the passage of time reveals
all truths. And only these truths can be self-evident. In
general, the media has usually been a great source of information
and has expedited the process of delivering news. They have
brought forth information from around the world for the benefit
of us all. However, they are not our voice; they are only
the voice of information. I give credit and trust that the
best journalist seek only the truth and want to report the
news as just that, the truth. However, it is time for us to
rise up and take back the control of our own destinies. It's
time for all nations to disarm any form of aggressive weaponry!
It's time for the leaders of all nations to put aside their
arrogant egos, greediness and self-centeredness. It's time
for the peoples of all nations to extend the hand of peace
to one another.
We can simply do this through first opening
our hearts to one another, embracing the idea of respect for
one another and understanding that we all have a right to
be here. We must come to a simple and common understanding
of what basic human rights are and that these are the only
truths that are self-evident. Once that is accomplished, we
must continue to educate our children in this same manner.
Furthermore, we must teach them not to hate or ever terrorize
anyone for any reason. Most importantly, we must teach them
what our basic human rights are: food, clothing, housing,
healthcare and education, that all people deserve to freely
have these and that they are the most important things in
which we live for on this earth; and that these are even more
important than our government, our leaders, religion, money,
and even life itself. As a matter of fact, this is the true
reason that governments should even exist, to provide us with
our basic human rights at the lowest of costs, in order that
everyone can afford to possess each of them.
Without
love and respect for one another along with peace and freedom
we have nothing. After all these thousands of years that humankind
has lived on this earth it's finally time to discover the
truth, to get our priorities in order, and to understand what
is honestly important for the future of our children.
