Our world is broken. Our
societies are broken. Our society as a planet has just begun to form but is not
moving forward in a healthy manner. This formulation of one planet, one people,
is headed for disaster. This world social formulation is headed to a broken
state even before it really begins. A large concern is that too many countries
and energies are working against each other.
I ask myself why all the time. I
have questioned this question now for at least 40 years. I keep finding the
same basic conclusions, Broken Ideologies! Ideologies that people hold dear
within themselves. Ideologies that individual people and organizations refuse
to modify so that they can accept that other populous actually live on and
share this amazing planet. Broken ideologies of religion, political awareness
and political philosophy, monetary need, power through dominance, with the
inability to look to a future where everyone needs everyone. This is about
survival of our planet. This is about the overall health of our planet and the
population that inhabits the Earth.
Religion and the political philosophy
understanding of the day are two of the most broken ideologies that we
experience. Religion is about faith. Faith is about what ever you decide to
believe in; a Supreme Being or a creator of life. Faith is not religion. Faith
is inside an individual and not an external force.
Religion is an external force. Religion
is the organization that is formed and spun out from someone’s desire of faith.
A religion is a political movement and really nothing more. A religion is a
people driven organization built around what an individual or group of leaders
wants to push and hold a population too. Religion is the rules and regulations
as understood by the power hungry people who build the religion. These rules
and regulations are how the leaders control other people. Instead of allowing
people to understand and believe and have faith the leaders tell common people
what to believe and how to believe.
This leadership convinces the
followers through threat and forced persuasion. The leaders compel their
understanding and form of belief onto others. Therefore faith is removed and numbers
of followers is increased. The ideology of organized faith is now broken. The
ideals of religion are broken because of the desire for power and the
corruption that ensues.
Political ideology follows a very
similar route as religion. There are no totally bad political philosophies. They
each have very strong ideas that in their pure form are good for people and
good for society. The down fall of political ideals is in how they are executed
by their leaders. It is the corruption of the ideals for a greater power
retention by the leaders that makes political philosophies fail. They all fail due
to the desire for power not because of the political philosophy.
Both political reality and
religion are institutes that have become a control of movement, thoughts, and
ideas. They have become a way to control people and society. The organization
tells society what to believe and how to believe and how to act. Whether it is
the acts of a monarchy, an authoritarian government, military, so called
communism (Russia and China as very
poor examples), and most democracies that are very much controlled by the wealthy
and capitalist bearings. Even in open societies there are strong influences
that invade the simplicity of the political idea. Each of these experiments has
ended as a Broken Ideology and a broken society.
A major influence that causes our
societies to become broken is the great influence that money has on people and
society in general. We will explore the influences of money on the greed of
power and the corruption of society in the future. Broken ideology is the
results of a combination of influences that are human existence but are being
learned as not profitable for society and people, and our planet as a whole.
