How about nutrition and health care fraud? Try waking any one up about that! I told my younger brother that I had diabetes 5 years ago, and that he should get checked. That we are very similar, same bad diet, same overweight, same sickly parents. So If I had it this bad, he was next. I stopped eating junk and lost 40 pounds. But stubborn younger bro ingores me, and eats mountains of junk food all these years. I get the phone call yesterday he has terminal pancreatic cancer, and full blown diabetes. He had coco puffs for breakfast. Now the docs want to spend crazy $$$ with chemo, radiation and all that useless crap. Success rate is like 13%. And you are a miserable wreck the whole time.

I agree it wasnt the best metaphor, just what came out.. Sorry about your suffering, both in your own issues and the fact that you tried to help and were ignored... both of them are significant, imo. But im glad, and you should be as well, that you were able to catch yours before it got too bad...  |

User ID: 77395904 United States10/08/2021 10:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Foolishly, I spent a large part of my early years trying to "wake people up" - What i've learned I remember the intensity of the urge to wake people up when I was a child in the sixties. It wasn't an educated effort, and it wasn't regarding historical conspiracies. It was just that it was clear to me that people weren't paying attention to what was going on, and didn't seem to know or care about all the lies. By 911, I had given up trying to wake people up because it just made a kind of freak out of me. I was on to all the conspiracies by then, but it never helped or accomplished anything. I had my own sort of "blue pill": an attitude that said to hell with everything, I would strum my guitar and enjoy myself. Why should I bother, taking all that grief for nothing but the right to say: "I told you so." Even when I studiously avoided saying that, people hated me out of some fear that I might say it, or I was thinking it. I'm still often teetering between willing to do anything about anything and turning my back on the whole mess. Like you said, I'm not likely to care unless my bed's on fire, and I almost wish I had been ignorant all along, because at least then, I might have gotten somewhere with playing my guitar, and I wouldn't have this sense of frustrating learned helplessness with everything else. I could be ignorant and happy. 230 here, but 0 there. |

We all try to shake people into awareness of what's happening. But everyone's path is different. Too many different people with different intellects, beliefs, and moralities. I'm learning this lesson too. The hard way in some cases because it involves family. Thanks for the posts OP. You seem like someone I could sit down and have the proverbial beer with.

All is one, through a telescope, but under a microscope, most of us are so far away from each others perceptions, we cant even fathom... Finally, just really focus on being the best you, that you can be. That applies to everyone accross the board. Theres nothing else that really NEEDS to be done. Its all going to go as its going to go. The pattern is the pattern, as complex as it may seem, youre just your section of the overall. Reduce suffering in yourself and others. The rest is already done. Edit - I disagree with myself now... Some effort should be given... but do not give everything and do not have your own well being riding on "waking others up". Its YOU that need to wake up to more and more and more... the more attention you give to those still asleep, the less energy you have for yourself. Strive on SELF-awareness. Most people don't want to know. Most people don't want the responsibility of knowing anything. Seekinginformation |

Please never take that for granted. NEVER!  |

I now know, that many came before me and after me and that this is only a very small fragment of the full picture. Tip of the iceberg... etc. Quoting: BlaqShiep BUT - the thing is - you can't wake people up who dont want to wake up... Think about this metaphorically.... Your friend is sleeping and you wake them up to tell them a house a mile away is on fire. Almost instantly, their eyes are closing again... HOWEVER - if you wake them up in a panic and tell them their own house is on fire... thats a different story. Most people, maybe by their own fault, maybe just because its how things are, they dont care unless it directly affects THEM. So, in that vein, and taking into consideration that we all do actually die anyway... I welcome these new changes... To those with true eyes and ears... You can see the good in the burning of deadwood. To those that cant see beyond their own noses, they just see a dangerous fire. To those that like fire, they tell you how warm it is... Although there is a great separation happening, truth be told, we were all this separate before any of this... Now we are just being put into categories.

Glad you learned this a bit sooner than I. Much wisdom in this post. Within the surreal depths of "reality" lies the truth. |
