How far Do You Go To Defend Your Own Personal Integrity?
“It is the integrity of each individual human that is in final examination. On personal integrity hangs humanity’s fate.” — R. Buckminster Fuller
For as long as I can remember I have been irked at the thought of “toeing the line” or stated differently, doing what I am told to do by uninformed, uneducated people who are giving orders to simply protect themselves from something, either real or imagined.
I have to admit, much to my chagrin that at times I have stayed under the radar when I should have stood up tall and defended what I believed to be true or the right thing to do. This inaction has always been to my own detriment and the detriment of others.
As a species we really have to support those among us who are brave enough to stick to their guns at the risk of being shut down or even harmed for defending what they believe to be right and just.
The past 2 plus years has been a perfect example of this. There appears to be an unseen, covert and very well hidden enemy conspiring against the human race. I don’t know who they are or what their end game is but there are signs all around us, the blood curdling apparency is that these faceless people are being successful in advancing toward their aims. Whether the pandemic was orchestrated or not is yet to be seen. Such an event is a perfect smoke screen to covertly manipulate the whole fabric of society.
The time has come to band together with like minded individuals no matter where they are, what their credentials are or even what their social standing is. I’m talking about people who look beyond the surface and question the people in power, the so called status quo. Whether or not the people giving the orders or enforcing them are just unwitting stooges for the true powers who are wielding the power from hidden locations, it doesn’t matter anymore because the end result of doing nothing might just be the extinction of the human race.
Not that that will really matter in the bigger picture of the universe. We are but a blip on the horizon somewhat akin to a shooting star but still, we have so much potential for good.
I need to make a pact with myself that I will not allow my own perception of what is right and ethical to be alloyed, compromised or held down by people with pseudo power or in some cases power that is strong enough to cause me discomfort and even harm.
If I let these people get away with their shonky games then I am pretty much being complicit with their nefarious intentions.
As a species we have the potential to grow emotionally and creatively and to even seed the universe, if we can just improve our compassion, good sense and reason.
There is no way that we will ever be perfect, we will always hurt somebody or rock someone’s boat. That is just the nature of interacting with so many other people with cross intentions. We need barriers, challenges and crisis to become stronger but we must face these with open eyes, knowledge and reason.
For now all I can say is that I will no longer pretend to agree with people who blindly go along with group think based on opinions and misinformation that has been crafted to make them feel fear or whatever base emotion that can be squeezed out of them.
I don’t want to harm anybody and I don’t even want to challenge anyone’s viewpoint.
All I have the power to do is to inspire and potentially help to educate by making what I believe to be the correct information available to others. I might get this wrong at times and I might change my mind along the way but that in itself is what has to happen as new technology and solutions are discovered and developed.
I am in a unique situation whereby my immediate family and most of my close friends pretty much all feel the same way as I do. I’m proud that they all stick to their guns and defend what they believe to be the right path for themselves. We don’t all agree on everything and that’s perfectly OK. What I love and get solace from is that they aren’t sheep wandering aimlessly to their slaughter or lemmings following each other off a cliff to wastefully drop to their deaths.
It’s time to stand up and be counted before the “tin men” ( An uncaring or heartless man; a man lacking, or seeming to lack, feelings, emotions, or concern for others. ) get an even bigger grip than they already have.
I listened to a podcast this morning which was a discussion between American evolutionary biologist, Brett Weinstein and British journalist and activist Maajid Nawaz. Both of these men have bravely defended and actively stood up for their own integrity and beliefs and as a result have lost valuable positions and been financially compromised due to their personal strength and fortitude to defend what they believe to be right and just.
Maajid Nawaz made the statement that many of his friends have “missed the boat” in relation to what has happened planet wide with vaccine mandates, lockdowns and other mass manipulations in recent times. Brett Weinstein summed it up eloquently by stating “The boat hasn’t quite sailed yet, they can still jump on.
Have a listen, it is a fascinating discussion. Both of these men a well worth looking into and may enrich your life and stimulate your analytical powers.
