No one wants to carry the burden of the past on their shoulders. It seems unfair that the past actions of other people you had no control over have left you with a task to clean up their mess. But, if it is not you who makes a better world, who else is left? Are we to wait for others to improve our quality of life? Are we to wait for the afterlife to enjoy our time? Perhaps it is the responsibility for some divine being and "his" will to take care of every man and woman. Thankfully, and sadly for some, this is not the case. Whatever beliefs you hold, your life is your responsibility. And, the present is your responsibility too. We are not separate from the world as a whole. We are individual parts to one body and if something is wrong, it is not wise to wait for another to fix the issue. Our issue as a species is the dream-like state of consciousness the collective human is living in. We are largely unconscious; most live unaware of their actions or the actions of others. More and more people see themselves as completely isolated from the whole and act accordingly. The result is a total disregard for life. For a very disturbing view of these results please watch this http://www.imzaia.com/forum/topic/show?id=6284887%3ATopic%3A19037&xgs=1&xg_source=msg_share_topic

There is only one way to change the course of humanity's path, and that way is within. We must bring awareness within ourselves and by doing so have a greater understanding and appreciation for the differences of others. If we do not, if we continue with this course of action and ignore our responsibility to raise awareness, we will perish from the face of this Earth, much like that of a bad virus eradicated by some cure in the form of flood, famine or ice age.
