Since when did we let politics overcome our relationship with others? That’s just a joke in case you think I’m being literal. Since the dawn of man we have let politics decide our relationships with others. However, I am going to open your mind to something possible. So go get some food and water, find a good comfy place to sit because you’re about to embark on one man’s opinion; which I hope you can all agree upon so we can make it a fact. By the way, check out our post, “What is a fact?” If you’re really confused as to what I’m talking about.
Alright, so now that I’ve got your attention, let’s look at our political world right now. The Western Hemisphere is still being dominated by America, due to all the kickass we do everyday; Mexico can’t do anything to keep their people in the country, causing their economy to plunder even more; and Latin America is just one big gold mine for drug cartels and lawless lands. Oh and of course I forgot about that place called Canada. To be honest I’m not sure what they do… all I know is that the people are nice and weed is completely legal there.
Now let’s hop on over to the East, where the very idea of conflict was born. As of right now, Russia has everyone guessing with Vladimir Putin at the helm. If there is a scandal or a world crisis, Russia is always somehow involved. China manufactures just about every single factory made item in the world, and I think one of their propaganda directors got a little too lit one night and accidentally fell through with plan z, which was to produce as many men as possible and brace for world domination. Thankfully China wasn’t ready for plan z and now they just have an overpopulation crisis on their 1.4 billion hands. The Middle East is a world of its own. Sadly, this part of our world may never experience peace. There is too much greed and poverty, and there is zero government establishment. But if you don’t see any of it, is it really happening? The only time you ever hear about the UK anymore is when there is a royal wedding or another terrorist attack in a subway. Africa has never recovered from the start of time, due to endless war and the white man’s unrelenting thirst for gold.
I know our world is a mess right now. I believe that is because we as human beings have lost touch with ourselves. Most species must work together in order to survive. Humans however, have become so advanced in the past few thousand years that we no longer think that we all need to work together to survive. This has lead to countless conflicts and deaths; and there are no signs showing progression towards solving this issue. To me, this does not sound like survival.
Ask yourself right now, what makes you more American than someone who is trying to get citizenship in the United States? The answer is quite simple, nothing but a label. Are you really that different from someone who lives in Russia, England, Japan, etc.? Are they so different that you need to convert them into someone like you or kill them if they don’t comply? You may think that sounds crazy, however we do it every day and you support that whether you know it or not, simply because you have an ego that was set up for you to fulfill as a child by your leaders. You are raised to dislike anyone that doesn’t agree with the leaders that you are forced to obey to for the biggest developmental stage of your life. And by the time you’re an independent, the ideology of your nation and its beliefs are burned into your mind and has altered your way of thinking.
It doesn’t have to be like this. Let me correct myself… it shouldn’t be like this, and it can’t last forever. These “borders” will not last forever, travel will become so fluent that it will bring people all around the world together. Families will be made, which means that they will have to choose a place on this earth to live together. The world is already starting to run into this conflict. For example, families in Mexico are being separated by the Mexico-United states border and many people are speaking out now about how it is only the governments that are being the problem. Eventually we are not going to care who is from what country, especially if the people we meet provide the happiness for each other that we all pursue now. We must accept that we are no exception to Mother Nature, and that we as a species can only survive if we can let our egos go and live as a whole, not as an independent.
