RE: Why Things Can't Be Different
Not sure if it is your cup of tee, but I feel intuitively compelled to share this monologue by Alan Watts with you that has had a great impact on me. Maybe it can shed some more light on what I meant with this article.
Much love!
I have tried to view the video but it says it has been blocked because of copyright grounds, so i'm not sure what is going on. Do you mind telling me the title of the video, so I can search for it?
Is this part of the purge from Youtube?
It's more of a classic that is registered somewhere. The video is called "Alan Watts - Conversation with myself". It's on youtube in parts as well, about 30 minutes or so in total. So weird, it still works for me.
Try these, uploaded by Watts' son:

Those are all working, so i'm going to check them out. Thanks so much :)
Thanks again for disagreeing, it always furthers consideration on all sides and perspectives
I enjoy connecting with you because you are respectful and open to new perspectives. I do not like coming in contact with people who have different views and are rude and disrespectful and their views are based on ignorance. I find that very unpleasant.
I believe it would be nice to just accept that things are the way they are, in terms of not generating negative feelings, but to live following common sense principles, such as respecting our Earth and each other. Not being greedy and selfish focusing on meaningless things getting people nowhere.
I'm not accepting of any values or beliefs of this society and I don't strive for what is being sold. As well, many people are dying off from diseases caused by living in a toxic environment and filling themselves with toxic chemicals. Cancer is at an all time high, obesity related diseases are skyrocketing. Kids diagnosed with things such as ADHD, and given pills to treat this is staggering.
At the Rally a few days ago, to fight the pipeline, a speaker said that 2 of the worlds biggest billionaires have more wealth than 50% of the population of the world. And this is just one statistic. Having people starving and homeless, is a choice that we are making and it does not have to be that way. As well, these governments are committing terrible acts of violence against people and this needs to come to an end now!
Soon, it going to be too late to save us from our demise from the destruction of the Earth, our home. Science proves this and common sense can only go so far if the people do not have common sense and are instead controlled and manipulated into believing that success means growth and exploiting our natural resources in the name of our desires and insane wishes.
This society lacks common sense and any good values. It is not a free society and things have to change or there is no hope for any of us to become happy, healthy and thriving, each of us allowed to reach our full potential. Our ability to live here will come to an end, and this will be based on stupidity and not having any common sense.
Thanks for being such a pleasant person. It is so nice to connect with you.
