I find your words to be very refreshing to my mind and ears. I appreciate your ability to step back and observe what is going on... and I look forward to discussing with you somewhere in the future. Hopefully an hour or two discussion at the least!

I recall an earlier conversation we had about the word "capitalism" we had at the house. I don't like the word either... I looked into it. But it appears many of these words are just boxes people either find themselves in or strive to be in without really ever really examining why the box? What do people outside the box think? Beyond the trigger language... when one can have meaningful conversations with people. What is it they are really after? Do they even know? Maybe if we start asking each other questions we start actually wondering about the things that really confine us? Maybe that's a discussion to be had regularly?

And apparently it's true the labels on the boxes seem float over time which should be a clue to how few even are paying attention.

I'm with you in looking for more understanding of what freedom truly is. That many of those things that we have problems with are actually about issues we have with ourselves... and that we have a choice in what we choose to believe. We can examine our beliefs, we should. We can demonstrate our beliefs and SHOULD! People, absent the influence of what the powers the should not be call "news", seem to get along fine together. LET'S TRY it!

But it should be pointed out that this society has been inundated with subconscious programming to such a level that it's truly unbelievable once one steps back. Much of our struggles are a result of these bad programs running in our subconscious. We are constantly shooting our own selves in the foot... but don't see it. (This is one of the areas I think people really need to spend some attention on... btw)

On property rights... my thoughts are changing. I've considered your words in the past as well as what you wrote and feel there's certainly room for experiments. It would be best for everyone to conduct and examine those together in my mind.

And finally a word on cooperation... may it be given at least a 50/50 chance in every opportunity. Is it too much to ask for people to look past the very simplest of veils? Why is it so hard? People have been so conditioned with conflict, competition or fear. They rarely ever consider interaction as an opportunity.

I appreciate your effort to explain. Your message was received here! It's appreciated greatly! I will be more vigilant to take those opportunities and grow!
