RE: What Are Your Points of Light?

in #storylast year

Wonderful inspiration, as always, Eric, you should run for president my friend! Sadly the politicians are not in it to make the world a better place, but then we outnumber them not so!
So, I believe we need to collectively start seeing the light and work towards it! Form trusts, work solo, whatever it takes to make the world around us a better place. There are many initiatives starting up here and they're growing in numbers, and this is because the government is failing. Perhaps that is to make the people stronger, so we should take our blinkers off, see the light, as we can individually make a difference!
PS your tattoos are real works of art!

I would never want that job, Lizelle! You're right, under our current system the lucrative nature of the political offices attract the wrong kind of people to begin with. Very few people get into politics to change things for the better. The only way to fix the situation is to inact things like -- term limits, age limits, no stock trading for politicians, no lobbying, no governmental benefits or salary for life after political terms have ended. The answers are all there but implementing them is another story.

I agree, working on yourself --- your spiritual, emotional, and physical health is the best way to change the world. When you're happy, fully engaged, and adding to the light of the world it rubs off on everyone around you.

Thank you! I'm officially done getting new body art for a little while. The only thing I might do now is get little ones to commemorate trips to special places.
