Saving the Lost

An important point hit me hard he other day. Namely, we cannot save people, we can only show hem the way. And if they refuse hat path, we cannot carry them along down it.

I was for the umpteenth time attempting to explain yet again to someone why I would NOT be voting for either 'major' candidate in the upcoming elections. My basic argument was that both candidates are part of the New World Order. I told my Dear Mother that she just wants something to believe in, but that putting her faith in the wrong person can be much worse than no faith at all. Basically, I told her that John McCain is JUST as bad as Obama, and both are working from the same agenda and for the same people (the NW)). From her response though, it seemed to me that she refuses to accept the existence of a NWO. I don't mean to speak for my Dear Mother, I just think she sees the signs of a conspiracy but on some level will not accept that both candidates are part of it. The truth is too ugly, it must be ignored.

This is no commentary upon one person, but rather upon a phenomenon. Many people are in the position of choosing to deny the ugly truth, rather than accept it and go from there. They see the economy falling apart, corrupt politicians, unconstitutional legislation, chemtrails etc. However, most of these people do not want to admit the existence of a conspiracy, ad chalk it ll up to chance or coincidence.

So many people scoff at the mention of the word conspiracy. They want to believe thins 'just happen,' not that they are planned. I think this is because if things 'just happen' you can't do anything to 'prevent the chips from falling how they may,' as it were. BUT, if there really was a conspiracy for global domination and the economic/political games are rigged... then it means you MUST do something about it. Also, it the fact is that most people just want to go about their lives the way children go about play, and cannot be bothered to take responsibility for things like the political situation of their country/state/city, unfortunately. Thus, they want so strongly to believe in their 'leaders,' to feel the 'grown ups' are looking out for them so they can 'play house.'

The truth though is that while we have MANY comforts, society today tends to be a harsh and difficult place. And it gets rougher all the time. The banksters, those corrupt among the police and the crooked politicians have us so concerned with paying our bills on time, following all the little rules and preventing worse people from coming into power, that most of us are not living very fun lives. Sure, we have a few simple pleasures left... but have our lives and by extension their societies lost their meanings?

I've spoken with many individuals concerning these topics. Very few are fascinated to learn that conspiracies exist, and their lives change as a result of understanding this fact. Most however remain indifferent at best and hostile or angry a worse to it.

The former category of people have meaning in their lives. They look around them and see a human society losing its meaning, but that isn't everything. They find truth and meaning in themselves, love, God and the non-human environment around them. The latter category however has for the most part become ideologically fanatical, angry, afraid, and many are very materialistic. These people tend not to see truth and meaning accurately, finding it mainly in things and ideas (like material goods and society), as opposed to in themselves and the non-human world.

But, life is a journey, the destination remaining unknown. We can't force people to come along with us, we can only offer them our hand. However, those of us who are courageous enough must -alone if necessary- look at truth, no matter how ugly it may be.
