All I Ever Wanted

All I ever wanted is an honest, fair job. I’m not one of those “I want to be a millionaire by the time I’m 30 brats”. I can’t stand people like that and I think they are the problem. People like that don’t enhance society and the economy, they destabilize it. And they poison the stream with incorrect and false views and motivations.

If living in a healthy, happy, harmonious, and fair society and pulling you’re fair share isn’t enough for you, then there’s something wrong with you. If you need to expend exorbitant and ghastly amounts of fossil fuels in the process of comporting your existence on this Earth, then there’s something catastrophically wrong with you.

Society should be focusing more on the problems of people like this, than the poor people at the other end of the spectrum who just want to live. We constantly hear about the problems of poverty, but never about the much more severe problems of the rich. We hear incessantly about the problems related to the poor, but never about the much more severe problems of those who are supposed to lead and set examples for right living and right conduct.

I have always believed in utopia, not as some unattainable ideal world, but a real world that is healthy, wholesome, and fair. It’s never a perfect world, but a world that lives and gives hope. Utopia first is a place in the mind. How and whether it manifests is a matter of each of us helping that vision become reality through right striving and right conduct.
