jockeying for position.. this doesn't have anything to do with oil does it?

[transcend]

International oil companies are jockeying for position in Libya, buoyed by news that damage to the energy infrastructure seems slight. But security fears remain.

;//// *disgusted*... That was horrifying... I'm one of those who doesn't watch much news at all, or follow it, because it's all like this, it's better to live your life and not get too involved in this stuff... War? Is there ever a good way out of it? Death, just death, and disgusting situations like that one... does it do any good to watch such disastrous horrible things? Just depresses people and make you want to throw up...

[transcend]

yes it is disgusting, just think about the poor people who live there.. and for what? so the broken ''system'' can be maintained? ignoring it wont make it go away.. and it is not an isolated far way event.. it is the world we must change or the fire will spread.. still, we are gods hands and we shall overcome..

[_Omaticaya_]

I know transcend, when I say ignore, i actually mean it though... I guess it's not what i was born for, I just do what God will want me to do, tell me, what could a 'common human' Ever do about that? Other than write about it, post it on internet, on social networks? So, what happens next, we all see it, say 'Damn that sucks, that is horrible! The world is SH!T'. Ok, next? We all sit and keep living... All you can do is make your life, and other peoples lives better, by being a 'good person', and if more people do so, then maybe, it'll get a bit better? But now, in this world, we all know, why hide it, it's the presidents that decide, not just country presidents, I mean all of them, any corp factory whatever, you name it, and maybe sometimes there's a nail that sticks out, a ray of light, of goodness, but sooner or later it'll get hammered by a bigger corp who became stronger thanks to corruption, evilness, greed, and all those horrid little adjectives. Thats what I reckon... So anyway, I can pray, that's one thing people can do, but then again, how does someone know what he/she is praying for when you see a war? Who am I praying for? Is that dead man innocent, or was he a terrorist or crazy muslim or evil person or something, who deserved to die? (I'm speaking generally). Anyway... God be with you transcend, because at least you try.

you are only powerless when you think you are.. you have far more power then you know.. ideas spread.. and so does love.. it is a force more powerful then what is shown to us on our tv.. the vast majority of people would see this war and all wars stopped.. soon the majority of people will put a stop to it.. that along with forces of evolution.. call it god or eywa.. there will be a rebirth of social and political consciousness.. because there will be a birth on an angelic race of humans.. it starts in the heart and it is happening everywhere.. when a birth happens some things die and fall away.. be part of the future.. and a happy wonderful world to come..

ps.. i hate the news too.. bunch of trash.. but this is the environmental and human rights board..

Well, I can't say anything else, I can just admire your incredible optimism towards the rest of the people... You see, I try to stick with what is a fact, and the fact I'm anchored to is that people are bad, and there are only few people I like, like all the people on this forum and my lovely friends here. I find it VERY hard to trust in that Mess, which is world today. I think of it like this: There's hundreds of countries, populations, traditions and religions, and why, WHY, don't people understand, there will NEVER be a common idea, or Peace. Jake said it, 'Strong prey on the weak', well this is true, but you gotta put some subjects: it's the Corps and the money, that are strong unfortunately, and the weak, is the Truth. Nature, Peace, Welfare. All these nice things people talk about, but it's hard to ever see them on the big picture, unless you never watch the news, or internet or the damn newspaper, thats why I am 'cut-off' from all of that. So I'll quote Drake, yes a mainstream singer, tipical singer everybody hates on, but still, he's the famous and rich one while the haters are losers, and in a great song called 'Fear', he sung a simple yet true verse, 'I hope this isn't one of those 'forever' things, It's funny how money can change everything'. You keep on doing your thing transcend because you are doing well, and me, I know my powers, but it's not about not believing in me, it's about others, and Knowing what the limit of our power is. As my dad always says in the car,'I'm not worried about you driving, I'm worried about others crashing into you' stupid example but fits the convo I reckon. So, I must agree on the fact Love spreads, and it takes less than we think, in fact, it does, this Magnificent lovely forum, is the Example. Friends, love, trust, beautiful things here, but it's like a 'safehouse' here, when you go out into the world, as we do everyday, school, work, it all happens again, we get angry with others, teachers, bosses, because everything seems unfair, but in the end, we're all on the same boat, and the good ones, might not be succesful in this crap society, but will be winners in Heaven, and with their conscience, and with other good people. I see you transcend,

i am glad you can find sanctuary here.. but people are not all bad.. that is an illusion.. james cameron worked his way to where he is and produced avatar.. think about all the people that came together to make the film and who also put forth the effort to bring it to the world.. and it is wonderful.. and it is changing things.. you are right about the news being bad news all the time.. that is the fault of bad news corporations.. they make money off of scare tactics, always telling you to want more, to act like some fantasy person and keeping you in a state of agitation.. if you think it sucks now take a look at history.. what a bunch of lunatics.. but things do change and they are getting better..
