Unconditional LOVE is a default position in which we all respect and agree to the right of free will and existence of all others. This is what we've been here for all along. Taking ''life lessons.''
And we've brought the wide variety and the methods of these life lessons onto our selves. The global warming we now talk about is both a cyclical phenomenon on a planetary basis (all the planets in our solar system warm and cool and change), as well as an effect that we enhance through our ignorance forcing onto to a new tipping point. The result? Potential cataclysm -- and from such disasters often comes change. Dramatic change. Evolutionary change.
This evolution will be a slow or as rapid as we make it. Some of these young whippsnappers are taking matters into their own hands, starting communities based in self-sustainability and being in symbiosis with nature. Some have more ambitious plans to change the whole world.
As usual, we'll probably do something in the middle. But change is coming. Change is part of nature and you can't stop it is you wanted to. We've been raised in a system of deprivation and fear. Forcing us to live worrying about eating and having a roof over our heads, all while we live on a planet with more than enough for everyone.
