The Fall & Rise Of Men

 This week, as war extends across the world and the media control the narrative on bad guys and good guys, we realise despite the changes in technology, we remain in internal conflict. 

As Krishnamurti once said:

“There is really only one war, the war within ourselves, which produces all external wars.” 

The bad guy and the good guy reside within us. 

Men have become subdued and suppressed resulting in a greater inner conflict than ever before. 

It has made them closed, disingenuous and passive in the face of injustice. 

This is what suppression and apathy does. 

It strengthens the parts of us that are denied a voice until they find a negative expression somewhere in our life or through an aligned voice in those who have dark intentions. 

The world is rife with this. 

It’s now convenient to become part of a society of virtue signalling within a particular cause, rather than really forge a character of courage. 

To appear virtuous rather than be a man of virtue. 

Despite the moral degradation of society, I am optimistic of the future and the opportunity that if we are keen to observe, is right there in front of us. 

Everything that was hidden is on display. 

The world of celebrity has been revealed, the political establishment is now looked upon as a den of thieves who pretend to have honour and integrity. 

This is what we have been aligning ourselves with. 

They exist because we created them through our own perceived helplessness and lack of self worth. 

What we perceived in them, we cannot help but experience within ourselves. 

Each man has the opportunity to be a king unto himself. 

Now is that time. 

The world will change accordingly.
