Values come into conflict all the time.
IQ45 values lying and dishonesty and hatred
and greed and lust and his followers also values
such things. A system understanding leads us to
understand that those values, lower level, animal
values, leads to the loss of energy in a system.
And we, who resist, have choosen different values
for our understanding of our systems. And this leads to
conflict about which values are the values that
we should be following. How are we to resolve this conflict
in values? Violence? The followers of IQ45 certainly do
want violence to be a deciding factor in the resolution of
the conflict of values, but violence never solved anything.
It simply postpones the resolution, it doesn’t solve it.
so we must find a means to resolve our conflict as to
which values are the values we should, as a people,
as a culture and as a society, should be following.
One could say that our political systems are simply
a means to understand what values we should be following.
Democracy is simply a system to allow people to decide the
values they will live under by themselves… Monarchy
is a system whereas a monarchy decides the values
the people shall live under and a dictatorship
is whereby the leaders of the dictatorship decide upon
the values the people live under.
This is, in part, why I have chosen to follow democracy even
though I believe democracy has been compromised by
money to the point where the “leaders” no longer work for
the people but the “leaders” choose values that they have
been paid to choose by corporate and powerful interest.
I believe that the only answer for our modern political
crisis is far greater democracy to the point where
we have elected leaders who simply follow the will of the people,
not by making decisions, but by following the decisions of the people.
the answer to our modern crisis is pure democracy.
“Government of the people, for the people, by the people”
We can increase the amount of energy people put into a system
by increasing the participation in their lives with increased
participation in their political lives with increased democracy.
The conflict in values that we see every day can be worked
out in the choices we make as a people… as to which values
we, as a people, as a system, as a culture, decide to follow.
a system, any system is best lead by the system working as a whole
instead of parts of the system deciding what is best for the whole system
because the parts of the system will always choose to protect its
interest instead of the whole system and that is what has happened
in the U.S… The parts of the system that has bought the leadership
of our political and economic system is only concern with its part of
the system and not the whole system… Thus we have the failure of
America… where parts of the system that is concerned with only
itself is deciding upon the whole system and anything that doesn’t
increase the small part of the system making those choices
simply doesn’t care about the whole system. That is us folks.
The few is deciding our fate based on what is best for them, not
for us. That is our modern world in a nutshell…
