What the world needs now....

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone. - Burt Bacharach

Just a random thought that entered my mind. I was watching youtube videos, and one of the random clicks was road rage. Which just made me think, wow people are just so mean to each other, and for what? It just amazes me.

I've been trying to stay away from Television for the same reason, a thousand channels of nothing but bad news. Along with the seemingly reduced televison time slots. A thirty minute show will actually be reduced to roughly fifteen. Then fifteen minutes of consume. Buy fast food, buy a house, save money in your bank, sue your neighbor for everything they have. You know the normal commercials.

Radio is the same way. Most music today is the same thing, wound up and sold to a different market. Most of it is to worship the almighty dollar. Forget everyone else, money is all this important. Pay attention to the words in songs. It seems like some of the artists labeled 'Anti-Christ' such as Ozzy, he was just telling everyone to love one another. The worlds governments don't want love to succeed. Keep you divided and buying into consumerism, keeps the war machine going.

The world is such a beautiful place. We are told of its beauty, however most only venture as far as their own backyard. We are taught from a young age this is the way. You need to graduate high school. Find a good job. Soon after find a girl, and get married. Buy a house, start a family. Work as hard as you can and one day far in the future, retire, with all the money you saved your entire life.

Humanity is capable of such great things, yet we are capable of such devastation as well. Love is what can change the world.

Sorry, just had to have a small rant. The world is an interesting place, I would like to see some more of it.

Thanks for stopping by,

George
