Fear & Governments

Have you ever noticed how much fear we have in our daily lives? Have you noticed that most of these fears are created by your Government?
It is said that Governments can only operate successfully if fear exists.
It is when people have fear in their hearts that they are easier to control and are more open to suggestion.

1) We create fear by telling everyone that we are right and everyone else is wrong. We also tell everyone that our existence is being threatened by everyone else. That creates a fear in us of everyone who is not like us.

2) We also tell everyone that whatever they are doing is wrong, bad and will eventually lead to our destruction. Everyone becomes afraid,on edge and are then easy to influence.

3) We make rules, regulations and laws to create fear. They insist that we wear our seatbelts but sell us cars that are capable of driving over the speed limit. They lower the speed to 30mph and then remind us that our SUV is more likely to kill someone at that speed than a normal car. etc,etc,etc

4) We also share our knowledge of the imminent threat from nature. We keep reminding everyone how close we are to self destruction. We constantly remind everyone that the way we live and operate is bad and has a negative influence on nature and that this will lead to our destruction.

5) We remind everyone about the vastness and uncertainty of space. And that we could be destroyed at any minute.

We create fear very successfully. ----

Please allow me to take you outside of this fear and let's look at the world.

1) Religion. Do the majority of the East/West hate each other? Do they think that the other is out to destroy them? Do the majority want to fight? Do the majority want to see people die? I think not. Radicals, fundamentalist, war, oil, threats, FBI, CIA, KGB, ABC, spies, satellite pictures .. All tools by those 'in power' to make you experience fear. Keep in mind we are talking about all governments.

2) Smoking is bad for you, it is expensive, and it is destructive. Instead of just banning the product, we make it more expensive, we humiliate smokers, we remind them constantly that it is a bad thing. Why?
It creates fear. On Wednesday butter is bad for you, on Friday a certain shampoo. Three years later butter is good for you but dried toast bad.
It goes on and on, creating fear day after day.

3) We are constantly reminded of the rising interest rates/unemployment/taxes/food shortages/bad quality of the water etc. Yet, the government does nothing to change these things.
The Government is supposed to have the power to fix and change things but do they ever? They usually put the problems back into the hands of those that elected them, why? Because all this tug of war leading to fear.

4) The ozone, the ozone, the ozone!! They do not tell you that the ozone was 10 times worse after the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The earth healed itself.
They do not tell you that global warming is a natural phenomenon, or is the ice age really coming? Find a solution, implement it or make peace with the fact that we are living on a living organism that changes continuously.

5) So it is imminent that a meteor will destroy Earth, so what? Find a solution. No solution? Have peace of mind and enjoy the moment. Have no fear.

The media is the tool that is being used to present fear to the masses.

Take the latest Middle East CRISIS for instance.

Suicide bombers in Israel, RPG's fly into Israel, soldiers being kidnapped. The news is full of it, pictures of hate-filled Muslims bombing Israel, shouting anti-Israeli slogans. "We do not recognize Israel as a nation and there will be no peace unless all the Jews are dead."
Bad radical Muslims, bad, bad, bad.

Then 2 weeks later......

Israel killed hundreds of civilians; Israeli fighter planes are destroying homes, businesses and cities. They are constantly shooting and bombing, war crazed Israel. Kids in street with blood pouring out their mouths. People
crying.
Bad radical Jews, bad, bad, bad

We have a constant bombardment of fear from the press. The press is not on any side. They support or create propaganda based on shock value. It is not just sex that sells but also shock.

Do not believe that the majority of Muslims hate the West, do not believe that the West wants to destroy Islam.

Just believe in Peace. If we have peace and if we, the majority voice our desire for peace we will put the governments and press out of business. When I mean out of business I mean out of power, out of power to control
the masses.

But peace, what is peace?

Do we have to destroy everyone that is different from us to create peace?

If all become one, one will divide itself. When one is divided it will try to become one.

If we understand the above concept we will understand that it is not healthy for all of us to be the same. It is also practically and inherently impossible.

A solution is to make peace with change. The only certainty we have is change. Embrace change and experience it. See it as something that will enrich your life. Change yourself not your neighbour. Criticize yourself not your neighbour. Respect your neighbour. Respect your difference. Respect individuality.

Respect Respect.
Respect difference in religion no matter what it is.

World peace. Different countries one world. World peace.

See, easy.
