“Things were made to be used, people were made to be loved”-(also in audio)
“Things were made to be used. People were made to be loved. The world is in chaos because things are being loved and people are being used.”
When I saw this quote I just knew I had to write about it. It hit home. Really hit home. It was perfect in speaking to me about what’s happening in our country.
First, it has totally taken over our political system. A few billionaires running our country with all of their wealth. Wanting to rule it for them and them alone. How can we change that? How can we become more human? How can we stop using people and bringing in more love into our lives?
The NRA having so much money all these years and preventing any rules being made to protect us as citizens against what happened in Aurora, Co and in Columbine, Colorado.
With all of our material goods, all of our technical innovations, all of our ways of communicating via these technical devices, why are people more isolated than ever before? It feels as though stuff to acquire is a constant in our culture but reaching out and connecting to another human being is becoming obsolete. Did you know people used to actually write letters to one another and mail them? That people actually enjoyed speaking to one another on the phone! I know, I know, you are saying that’s all old fashioned and in the past now.
Through the years I have seen what money and wealth do to people. How people get changed, become self absorbed, self-centered, self-involved. The first time I witnessed it was in my family of origin, and I saw how when my family was around people with money, I didn’t know who they were. I’ve seen people fight over money left to family members. But I have also witnessed people that actually love one another, take care of one another and are not ruled by money. I have witnessed family members coming together when a loved one is sick, or in need of some financial assistance, or the family just loved to get together because they have so much fun.
Why do we feel we need to manipulate, control and use people for our gain? It feels naive of me to ask this question, but I have witnessed a society crumbling in their values and ethics and passing it on to their children. Do you feel the
same?
