Billions Gather For The World Cup While We Continue To Destroy Earth
Billions are now gathering around the world to watch and celebrate the World Cup of soccer. Once again, it’s another example of how we all continue to engulf ourselves into the world of entertainment for another “headlining” event. It’s no different from the World Series, the Stanley Cup, the Masters, the Olympics, the Grammys or the Royal Weeding, there is always something happening in the world of entertainment that millions, if not billions of people around the world give their undivided attention to.
Between taking care of ourselves, providing for ourselves and our families as well as the constant distractions we face, planet Earth is being subjected to a tremendous amount of harm, more so than what most people hear about. Record breaking oil spills, nuclear disasters, environmental degradation, the loss of wildlife, pollution and more continue to escalate while we turn a blind eye. These events are a very big deal, something we need to pay more attention to, something we need to change right now.
These are disastrous events that should all serve as lessons for the human race to wake up. It’s time we all start questioning our current way of life and start examining the possible solutions that exist to change the world. I am aware that simply writing about it isn’t enough, and I want to do more and will do more. But this is better than doing nothing.
Uprising began a long time ago in Brazil, where the World Cup is currently being played. The government has spent billions of dollars to prepare for the World Cup when many have taken issue with the fact that the money could have been better spent. For example, providing thousands of homeless Brazilians with a place to live. (source) Homes and communities have also been destroyed in preparation for the event.
Brazil is this years example of what we are doing on planet Earth as a whole. Ignoring what’s really important and using our time and attention towards materialistic things that don’t really matter. Ask yourself, what would happen if billions turned their attention to the atrocities that happen on Earth everyday? What if billions turned their attention to poverty, and realized that solutions exist, that there should be no reason at all that anybody on the planet should be starving, without food or clean water?
The corporate media and our educational institutions will try and provide you with reasons for these problems. Our international peace organizations like the United Nations will take the issue out of your hand, and have you think that they are working on it. If we want change we can’t ask others to do it, we have to do it ourselves.
Solutions Exist. We Can Change Our World.
Many people believe that our world is our world, and that’s just the way it is. It’s precisely this type of thinking that has led to our current experience to be exactly what it is. We can do so much better than this, for starters, everybody on the planet should have access to basic human necessities. This should be a given birthright, and the excuses given to us on a daily basis as to why this is impossible are simply preposterous and untrue.
