"Responsible Adults"

Today is December 31st 2018, the last day that saw "Common Sense" and "Responsibility" prove their non-existence to the World.
A World, where Greed, Corruption and Infamy proved selfishly, more important to individuals than the welfare of All.
Selflessness has become a catchphrase, circulated and propped up as a means, by which the wealthiest hoard wealth that can destroy the Ideologies that are destroying all things and Everything.
Is the intangibility of great wealth of greater importance to the Species than the tenuous tangibility of Species existence?
Where Adults are Responsible; one needs Responsible Adults."
Humankind has made Wealth: their God; Corporations: their Church and willful destruction the Rule of Thumb.
Thus I beg the questions;
- Are there any "Responsible Adults" left in this World?
- Who are the Adults responsible?
- And what are "Responsible Adults" going to do to change it?
Tomorrow 2019 begins; a new Hope; a new Prayer; a new Beginning; fore the Buck must stop HERE! Here, "Responsible Adults" must choose to act; Responsibly!
Where Words are the means to Meaning; the Business of Mankind has been neglected too long, especially when one considers it is an Adult's responsibility to be Responsible Adults.

Economy #101

“The Analogy of Wealth as Water”

    It doesn’t take a genius or a financial expert to understand the following analogy; it is an extremely simple observation to make. It should have occurred to our financial pundits long ago, but farbeit for me to point out that Greed clouds the mind filled with Corruption.

     There is enough wealth on this planet to end Poverty Worldwide, even as it maintain the itself and supports those that don’t give a damn about those shoulders they stand on to reach for the Stars.

     Observe the #Wealth of the World as #Water, which evaporates with the heat of the Sun, like profits of any Company, which rises ever upwards into the Clouds. Clouds like Conglomerates that generate massive profits.

    Bloated and gorged on those profits, such companies hoard and store such wealth (water) through greed; paying themselves enormous Salaries, Bonuses and making use of Tax Breaks, which ensure that their profits never fall back to those that worked hardest to earn their pittance.

     Like Water, such profits sucked into these Clouds (Companies) refuse to improve the growth of their employees and customers, ignorant of the need for such wealth to fall back to Earth to maintain growth for all.

     Imagine if it never rained, what the Globe would be like, but Nature understands the need for rain, which is a necessity for growth. Where wages and Paycheques have remained stagnant, while executive salaries balloon out of sight, like the clouds over head, but they never rain such wealth back down, but seek to increase their hold and holdings on their water.

     When the Drought hits, the wealthiest look down and ask where is the Water? There can be only one answer to their Economic Crisis. It must Rain or the Economy becomes a desert, where no Clouds can hoard water that no longer exists. They have drained the Oceans, Seas, Lakes and Rivers of Water and find themselves cannibalizing themselves and each other, where the poorest clouds have already been consumed.

    Let it Rain, raise the Wages, the Salaries and share the wealth, like water from Heaven. Let the Wealth of the World be shared again with the World, that all people may take part in the growth of the World’s Economy.

     This is so simple an Analogy, that it amazes me that the World’s Financial Experts have ignored its simplicity for generations, when centuries of drought have already seen Economic Crises in many corners of the World. How smart does one have to be to understand, when the World runs out of Water, it is a Dead Planet! How much Profit can any Company earn, when their customers have no Money to buy their products or services?

     P.S.: Economic Stimulus; When you give Billions to Wealthy People, they Hoard it and pay themselves. When you give it to the Poor and less fortunate, they go out and spend it and stimulate the World Economy.

     So giving Billionaires a Handout doesn’t stimulate anything, but the Greed, while giving it to the Poor improves the Economies of the World…Economy 101.

     What can Canada do with the $85 Trillion in Tax Dollars, which has not been collected, evaded by Corporations and Conglomerates that do business with this country?

HAVE I GOT YOUR ATTENTION!

"Life Lived in Excess"

The Excess of Lifestyle

     Hello and welcome to the relaunch of the "Mankind Observed" blog; formerly known as Angelic Observation. I had to made some changes and alterations to what I believed was a boring editorial of Mankind's exploits over the decades I have observed them.

     In this "Copy & Paste" digital World, where people choose rather the easiest way before the correct way; where simple terms and terminologies become a collection of letters with multiple meanings leading inevitably to a confusing future mired in the ever-present conflicts that have plagued the lives of humans, from one point on the globe to the next.

     I have made countless inquiries of you, my supposedly and errantly termed fellow humans for insight into why you people perpetuate the stupidities and inanities people repeat ad infinitum  I grow nauseated by this continuous and repetitious need by one person to control others by command through oppression, repression and depression. It becomes a conscious expressions of a human desire to eradicate themselves at any cost.

     What is it with people these days, worst than they were in the past, by minor degrees, while exceeding all expectation for misery inflicted on each other? "Live and let live," become a repetitive tenet churned out in countless messages amongst people; shared, copy & paste from facebook, to Twitter, Google+ and a host of competing so-called social networks doing their best to control how and what it is to be social.

     Who are they control junkies that seek to control ones digital internet lives with a plethora of rules and regulations contrived to give their clients a canard of security and privacy, which cannot exist as long as it is placed in the digital data-banks to which a number of programmers and administrators and who knows how many others have access to?

     The best bearer of ones security and one privacy is the individual who is prepared to keep that, which is private; private. Such was the case for my personal Google+ Account, which I was informed by some interred Google+ Team needed my actual and True First and Last Names to create some digital versions of a Real World connection. Are these people living in the real world or pretending to live in the real world, where identity theft has become the source of security contention and fodder for a supposedly humorous flick. If I wanted stranger to know who I was I will introduce myself to them in person and not in a digital world created to mimic or ape the real world. Until that day, if someone is looking for me; they search and find me thus: "Whispering Angel."

     I have been observing this trend to sell yourselves cheaply to the highest bidder; to share, sync and digitally splash yourselves across the World Wide Web via their handheld digital devices  So simple and easy it is to deprive any individual of their identity when the holder cares so little for it in the first place. None can deny how easy it is to keep their important information close at hand, while foregoing the reality of how easy it is for it to go astray, stolen, lost  and misplaced in a World rushing to be something that it is not.

   As the Freedom of Speech dwindles to becoming the Freedom of Anagrams, which alter by the user for individual purpose, which as I have stated will create further confusion in the coming future, bot near and distant. I observe the excess of life as a direct cause of the aforementioned need for speed and instant gratification.

     Mankind wants to get there in a hurry, where they are going they have no clue, but they really want to get there quick. Every digital gadget that can get them a few split seconds of extra time will be purchased at any price defined by the manufacturer as more and more the workmanship falters and fails.

     Thus I bring your attention to the Seven; the greatest and most deadly sins and errors of mankind observed centuries ago and growing worse with each passing year. I present to Mankind the one thing they need not copy & paste, because they are taught by every human to every offspring through inheritance.

Seven Deadly Sins:

Avarice: An excessive passion for acquiring or hoarding material wealth and riches.

Envy: An excessive desire to possess the materials and goods of others. 

Gluttony: The act or habit of eating to excess. 

Lust: Excessive sexual appetites, especially seeking immediate or ruthless satisfaction. 

Pride: An excessive and undue sense of one's own superiority, an inordinate self esteem, arrogance or conceit. 

Sloth: An excessive disinclination to exertion, habitual indolence and laziness. 


Wrath: Excessive, extreme or violent rage or fury, a vehement indignation.

These 7 have plagued the excessive lifestyles of Mankind since the dawn of their existence. Every human is guilty of at least one of these excesses, as they rush forth into an unknown future with enough ignorance to out last Mt. Everest.
