			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are several theories about the future of this society&#8230;</p>
<p class="blocknumber"><span class="bignumber">01</span> Society will be solely a power game. It doesn&#8217;t matter if it is communist or capitalist. People fighting and controling in the name of justice or equity, but really doing it for the power, commodity, and money. Those &#8220;who have a lot&#8221; will want others &#8216;who don&#8217;t have a lot&#8221;, to have less, so those &#8220;who have a lot&#8221; may have even more and more.</p>
<p>We will live a lot more of war if we don&#8217;t begin changing ourselves, and a lot of suffering. How can you expect to live in peace if you don&#8217;t have peace in your heart?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/quarrion/99582565/" title="9 roses of my love by David Stephensen, on Flickr"><img src="/images/flowers.jpg" width="500" height="500" alt="9 roses of my love" /></a></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to think this will be the way we will end up to realize that we cannot continue on this self-destructive path to gain security through egoism. I wish we could fly away, reach the skies, and begin a new morning where human beings understand the spectrum of their actions.</p>
<p class="blocknumber"><span class="bignumber">02</span>Society will see how an egoist life will destroy the earth. As a consequence, people will understand how beautiful it is to be generous. Those &#8220;who have a lot&#8221; will stop wanting more, but finding ways of giving others in a rational and well thought way. One thing is to work for your food, and another thing is to be corrupt and brainwash people so what you sell is bought.</p>
<p class="tips">The best way to go out of this mess it is to understand our innerself, and discover who are we? Why do we do what we do?</p>
<p>Always remembering, we will someday die, and leave a world for those who don&#8217;t know why we left it that way. Always remembering, security does not come into living a &#8220;better life&#8221;, but with an understading of who are you, why are you doing what you do, why are you here, and where are you doing?</p>
<p class="babysearch">Security comes into being when peace is in your heart, and how does peace come into heart? Where does love lie in your heart?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do we defend others rights? Can we defend our own rights? What are the rights we can defend? Our rights are explained to each country in different ways. Although, we may believe there are universal rights&#8230; Why do some countries ignore these?</p>
<p>Why does a country say it proclaims to have provide rights to its citizens, why does he limit those rights to aliens or immigrants? Why do countries and people live a double standard? What is going on?</p>
<p class="talk">One reason could be that in their minds a right has to be won. You have to win a citizenship, a position, experience, power, money, etc.  Is this correct? Is this part of our goal oriented type of society that fools us into believing that there is an ultimate prize to be met? </p>
<p>For example, television commercials are all the day telling us what is the best and what should we buy. Is this good or bad? None. Why? The people who put those commercials on want to sell more.</p>
<p class="enote">The reasons: They want or need money for a believed &#8220;better life&#8221;. Is there a perfect balancing act in all of this? Is there a fundamental need of a radical shift? </p>
<p>Maybe or not, it all depends on what you think you deserve (your belief system). This is tricky because perspective is really important in order to communicate, but do we actually acknowledge the depth of awareness?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/paullew/5203785878/" title="Balancing Act by Lawrence OP, on Flickr"><img src="/images/balancinghaving.jpg" width="342" height="500" alt="Balancing Act" /></a></p>
<p>Can the earth sustain trillons of persons who seek and have that believed &#8220;better life&#8221;? Can we all have a car, big home with air condition, buy things at the grocery store, and forget about how does that food reach your table? Perhaps, we depend on how techonlogy becomes more efficient and earth friendly.</p>
<p class="ephoto">What is happening that big companies need to delay the progress of technology to have the most income?  When does enough mean enough? When will we realize that the progress vs income has to take into account the way we are destroying the Earth by delaying GREEN techologies in our homes.</p>
<p>The fact is we can&#8217;t live like that, profit should not be before ecology, humanity, moral, ethics, justice, and truth. Suppose technology becomes friendly to the earth, and now we can live that &#8220;advanced better home&#8221;; what will happen then?</p>
<blockquote><p>
What is a &#8220;good home&#8221;? What does the concept &#8220;enough is enough&#8221; mean?</p>
</blockquote>
<p class ="equestion">  Will the entire population seek a another &#8220;better home&#8221;? Probably the ones who sell will continue to tell you &#8220;more is better and more is always possible&#8221;.  Is this actually true? </p>
<p>Where will this kind of goal oriented society lead us? When will be stop and begin to think by ourselves instead of letting others fill our agendas? When will we be the leaders of our own fate as a human race instead of falling into the trap of the herd who believes as is told?</p>
