Everything

So how does one write about everything?  This blog was origionally meant to be a philosophical sort of peice on eventually everything that’s worth writing about.  And maybe it still will be.  That’s the thing about everything, though; everything is so overwhelming.  I mean, there’s so much of it.

Here’s what happens: I see everything; the way the world is, how everything is, and of course, I want to change it.  Who wouldn’t?  How does one go about changing the world?  One with no power, and very little influence.  Fortunately, in this information age we’re living in, one can cry out in the internet in the form of a blog.  One tiny voice in the darkness.  Sure, not many people may hear at first, but who knows?

Oh, don’t think I’m dilusional.  I know I’m not actually changing anything with this thing.  I’ve barely even started with this.  And I know very few people read this right now.  As I said before, though, the purpose of this bolg is more for me, really, to get my thoughts in order.  Because I do eventually want to change the world for the better.  The key word there, however, is eventually.

See, this is the thing right now; and it’s been happening for decades: everyone says they want to change things, but very few do much about it.  Most people are pretty much complacent with everything.  And I know, right now I’m just joining that mass of voices, that mass that cries out loudly, and yet remains motionless.  But the reason I don’t move is because I don’t have a plan yet.  Yet I plan on making a plan.  For everything in this world is not okay, as much as I like to remain an optimist.  Good parts of it are extremely fucked up, actually.  And of course, even the parts that aren’t as much could still use some fixing.

How is this going to happen?  Really, it could not be simpler in concept.  As I said before, this is the information age.  Communication has never been simpler, more direct.  It is possible for anyone to reach nearly everyone in the world using just a computer.  And if a group of people big enough agree on something?  Well, the possibilities are endless.  The people of this world are just starting to come together; just now starting to realize that all of us are the same people, the same group.  All it needs, I think, is something, something to draw it together just that much more.

The world needs something, someone to unite around.  It’s been too long without that.  Maybe it’s possible that that can happen soon.  Within our lifetimes.  And the world could see changes previous generations have only dreamed of.  It seems fantastic, impossible.  But then again, maybe it isn’t.  As a wise man once said, “You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.”  The world needs someone like John Lennon again.  Maybe that would change some things.  And if enough things change, everything can change.
