Is Harmony Still Possible? (Philosophical Opinion)

Billy D’Kid for UnCommon Sense 42020

In a recent recording that will soon be published for UnCommon Sense 42020, I posed the question: What if it’s not what we can do, but what we need to stop doing?

Civil disobedience can be tricky and what the government and corporate media will determine as “civil” is always up for debate. This leaves us asking ourselves what it is we can do to make our profound statement as a people, as a whole, in such a way that the Republic would once again be forced into acknowledgment.

Those of us clinging to the Republic must fully recognize that it has been infiltrated. America is no longer the land of liberty she was laid out to be. She has has been exploited and abused and warped into the Corporate Democracy we find ourselves manipulated by today. If we expect to save what is left of The Home of the Brave, we’re going to need brains to back up the brawn.

History has already began to pose in the mirror and there is no doubt that the elite would like to see us reflect the mistakes of the past. I think they underestimate us. For that matter, I think we underestimate ourselves. We know in the back of our minds that we have the power as a collective, but how does one individual spark enough electricity in the network of our society while simultaneously creating balance among the multitude of frequencies, synchronizing all thinking peoples into a harmony that resonates the symphony of civil revolution? I know that was a lot…you might need to read it again…for the challenge we face is a lot to take in, and the truth is, if we can not find common ground with one another through the boundaries of our politically correct boxes, we will all fall victim to the future the elite have been planning for decades. As terrifying as this all sounds, I am not trying to mainstream-media you with scary pictures, but rather, give you a gift.

Hope.

Without it we lose faith. Without faith, we forget how to love. Without love, we lose each other. Without each other, we lose ourselves. With collective hope, the people hold more power in their palms than all the riches the elite could ask for.

If there is one thing the majority have in common with one another, it is that we simply want to live comfortably. We want to do what we enjoy, what makes us feel productive, and we want to be rewarded for our hard work. We want the basic things in life, sprinkled with a few luxuries and maybe a vacation to the beach once in a while. This all seems so much to ask for in the modern day. We created this problem. Collectively, as a history of people; and while we can not change the mistakes of our ancestors, we certainly still have the capacity to avoid the repetition of those misjudgements.

I often hear people ask when we’re all going to have enough and stand up against the tyranny. I think we’re already there. Many people have had more than enough already. So, what is stopping us from taking our country back? Is it fear of political persecution? I don’t think so. I think the problem we face is our own individual egos. We have become tribal in all the ways that make us vulnerable as a culture. We retreat into ourselves and to our small groups of like-minded and hide from views and opinions beyond our designated label given to us by the tyrants themselves. There is not an example of unity on a scale as large as modern America in all of known history.

So how do we find harmony among such a massive collection of peoples? This is certainly a challenge unlike any other humans have been tested with. If we continue to hide in our echo chambers and dismiss those who think differently, we will, undoubtedly, fail. As individuals we need to check ourselves more often. We need to take a step back and take a good look. Ask yourself: Have I become callus? Am I becoming the very thing I speak so harshly against? Am I simply another mocking bird? A parrot waiting for a cracker when I’ve made the right talking point? Have I become so closed minded that I reject all new ideas, opinions or even facts? Maybe I’ve become too indifferent all together.

I honestly believe that most people are generally good and if you ask me, what is the point of being good at all if one does nothing to keep the bad at bay? If you’re reading this, I have a decent assumption that you are probably an every-day human, like myself. Another singular life form just trying to do the best one can in a world that puts walls around every idea and opportunity. I believe you are one of those generally good peoples I speak of. Cliche, or not cliche, each of us has a purpose–no matter how small or insignificant we think we are–and if we, in a singular form, take the time to listen to our fellow citizens, our neighbors, we just might hit the right note with that person. What we forget is, when that person leaves us feeling a little better understood, they pass that on to someone else, maybe even five someone elses. Then those people pass it on to five more. Now we have a wave building and we might shock ourselves at how quickly that wave becomes a tsunami the elite did not plan. One they have no “solution” for.

Here’s to hope. With it, I believe, we can create a simple harmony we can all keep pace with. As far-fetched as it may seem, I think we are closer to changing the world than we are aware. The elites know that the general trust in leadership and media has all but vanished. They know we don’t want what they have planned and their only tactic is more propaganda. The more people we reach out to individually, the more people we can wake up, leaving less people feeding into the elite’s messaging. I don’t believe there are as many blind followers as the media outlets–left or right–lead us to believe. I honestly think the large majority of the “culture war” is a gas light from one side of the corporate machine or the other and most people just want to see the power return to the people; where we can start from the basics and rebuild The Republic from the roots up. The constant fear-mongering and political instigation keeps us from having hope in one another. We’re given Broadways acts staring public figures whom we’ve never met. Too many of them only play their part as “representatives” and spread a false sense of hope. We cannot lean on one single man or woman to get us out of this mess. We created it and we must be the ones to fix it. Maybe this means more average, blue collar and lower white collar workers stepping up to the plate and running in the political Olympics, thus changing it. If enough of us took a place in office, we may surprise ourselves with the differences we make.

I believe the elite of the world know that hope is a key factor and it is only a matter of time before the masses figure out how powerful it is. Thus we are presented with charades of false hope for all the various demographics, keeping us in our appropriate spaces while keeping our hope on a chain like a slave. If we connected with our fellow humans rather than falsehoods of talking heads, celebrities or political figures, heaven only knows the changes we could accomplish.

Think outside yourself, outside your group. Don’t believe the nonsense meant to divide us, stay uncommon in the world of conformity. Thank you for reading; I’m Billy D’Kid, writing for UnCommon Sense 42020… Signing out.
