When I was in Costa Rica, I participated in a rather large rally of Costa Ricans, demonstrated over a period of 3 days throughout the entire country. This experience was informally named by myself, 'No al TLC'. Which, with my uniformed impression was NAFTA and free trade agreements, I actually took it on my own during the experience to think of it as 'globalization', and simply that, and more purely in Costa Rica throughout these days, the fight against globalization. And more aptly named 'Americanization'.
And I agree, their opinions are valid, and we, most ignorantly, disregard our opinions of the capital, corporation-driven society we feed into, and give in to everyday. We, as Americans, have not stood up as a people against the economic policies and dealings our country and government have with the outcomes of our lives. We have laid ignorantly and watched, as a people, our country being destroyed from the inside out, more like from the top, down. But what can we do? Hell, I don't even know. But I do know that feeding into this market, and this society, will only lead to the disintegration of the US as the top world power. Power, nuclears, and nothing but our deep ignorances and disregard for human lives outside of these borders, have given us that position.
I digress, we do hold that position, however, our greed, and collective group-speak ignorant, passive tactics can do nothing. Even on the inside, could one make that much of a difference. And the bigger question is: can a man give himself to a cause that he know he will never make a dent in, even as hard as he may try. To know that your life is to solve one problem, cause who are we, people, with problems. So, we set out, in our respective fields to solve that problem. I'm an 'accountant', well, not yet, but working towards it; the field is solving the problem of money, and of snakes, but thats way too side-tracked for me to be goin', we'd never see the light at the end of the tunnel for this one.
But, we set out to solve problems, and most put their goals to that; I mean, I do think I can take control of a company's, or a portion of a company's, finances and deliver and perform my job to standard, thus, while solving my life's problem. And, uh, yeah, my life has a little more depth than that. But, that is only a rudimentary example; I mean only to say that if we set a life goal: a problem for which one will dedicate their life to trying to find a solution for said problem. And this life goal is unattainable, ie changing the government, or the corporate world. You're never going to end the mass corruption, and even more so and truer, greed.
Oh yeah.
Its almost Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
And a happy and prosperous new year....even though that shit looks bleak(and if the above didn't take away my credibility, than that one might have went over the line) But as humans are meant to do: we solve problems.
buena suerte y tenga un vida buena y prosperoso
