Hope is the real killer. Hope is harmful. Hope enables us to sit still in the sinking raft instead of doing something about our situation. Forget hope. Honestly and candidly assessing the situation as it truly stands is our only chance. Instead of sitting there and "hoping" our way out of this, perhaps we should recognize that realizing the truth of our situation, even if unpleasant, is positive since it is required first step toward real change. ~ Gringo Stars
Hope is the leash of submission. ~ Raoul Vaneigem
The cure for despair is not hope. It's discovering what we want to do about something we care about. ~ Magaret Wheatley
Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape. ~ William S. Burroughs

You're right reticledc in that major catastrophes even war at times brings out the best in people as they pull together towards a common goal.
If only they realised there is still a common goal during peace time. It is this veil of denial (back into survival mode) that infuriates me to the extent that I want to wake others up to the realisation that the battle still continues. THIS IS A PRISON PLANET. This is a sad but true fact and is probably also the reason why so many others come, ie they come with heroism in mind and a rescue plan, but soon forget why they are here.
Unlike some I don't foget, you might say I've mastered the art of rememberance. This is why I want momentum of thought and action. Talk is good yes but that's all it is talk. The reward comes when plans are put into action. My plan is a make or break global movement that resonates with mind and moves with purpose. The end time army if you like. Modern day crusaders. What is important to know is that we are probably the first generation with all the information to hand thanks to the introduction of the internet. We want to act but, but, but, there's always a but with people. You say the human race is worth saving, some of it yes, so lets unite. Geeze are any of you people alive or am I flogging a dead horse.
Shine on.
Oh and as I remember the big bang it may be possible I started it!
