Where We Are Today

It should come as no surprise to learn that events do not take place in a vacuum, and is actually the result of the greater cultural context, than the will of individual ambitions and aspirations of a previous historical context. There is millions of years of momentum and evolution -- that makes improvement and greater order inevitable, despite some demagogues warnings that things were never so bad, and getting worse. That is not the reality but the opinions of a few -- who only know how to breed and generate discontent and dissatisfaction, as their only motivation, no matter how false and deceptive that might be.

They would have us believe that we have no mass transit system -- rather than we already have one of the best in the world -- even if most people choose not to use it. But that doesn’t mean that there is none; it is just not the much more expensive one that they think will cause everybody to use it -- forcing everybody to go where it is going, rather than wherever they want to truly go.

In some places, the places everybody goes, is to the same place -- while in other places in the world, the place everybody likes to go to, is different -- and that is the lure of such romantic locales as “Hawaii.” If everybody has to do the same thing, going to the same places, then that is not the romantic getaway (paradise), but the treadmill of crowded cities that only longs to get away.

You can’t turn one into the other -- but millions of lives and years, have made each uniquely what it is, which is not necessarily what only a few “experts” should now determine, is what it should be. The world has not changed that greatly, that now, only a self-designated few, should once again make these decisions for everybody else -- because presumably “they know better.” Such experts have been wrong before -- because that’s not how the fate and destiny of world evolution is determined -- by the deliberate and systematic suppression of all the other alternatives, and the financing and dedication only of their own vision of man's purpose for immortality, no matter how great and impressive one thinks the pyramids was worth the sacrifice of so many lives and resources to immortalize one person's vision of their place in the pantheon.

In all probability, everything that life now tells us, is that we are on the verge of a great divergence and expression of choices -- rather than the “One size fits all, no matter how badly," of contemporary popular culture and its handmaiden media. All the tools mankind has developed, has brought us to the point of the uniquely custom-designed optimal life for everyone -- which is much more than just the triviality of “doing one’s own thing,” just because one can.

Now the choices are very meaningful, and the ultimate expressions of fulfillment -- that nobody should decide for another, or should decide for every other. Yet that is still the mentality we see strutting out before us as government and “leadership” in Hawaii, that really awaits this transformation in consciousness and awareness -- that doesn’t begin in the legislature, but is the last to recognize the new realities.

Good representatives really know how to follow where society is heading -- and is not forcing it to conform to its own will, no matter what the tide of unlimited human choices will determine is the best for itself.

The people will lead, and its representatives should follow the lead of the people -- and not unilaterally dictate as the tyrants of the past.
