You might not like the way a person is, or how they act, or what they’ve done, but that person still deserves to have everything they need to not only survive, but flourish in opportunity and growth... food, home, healthcare, education, transportation, etc.
If that person already had all that, then they likely wouldn’t have acted in the way they did, or done the kinds of things they’ve done.
Even the worst person you can imagine, they still deserve to eat and live. If no one believes that then why do we feed and house prisoners? Yet, someone has to commit that crime (robbing, stealing, etc.) to get what they need for survival, but if they get caught, they get those same survival resources for free, while at the same time losing their freedom and ability to contribute to society. Think about it, we (our government) spends $31,000-$60,000 a year to house and feed one inmate. What if that person had that kind of money for survival on the outside? Would that person still be a criminal? Or would that person be lifted up with the Love, dignity, appreciation, motivation and inspiration to become a better person and contributor to society?
We live in a world that cares more for their pets than their fellow man. Pets don’t contribute to the labor market, or produce products, goods, or services (beyond just Loving us and making us feel good; and service to the disabled), yet we still produce enough resources to provide what those animals need and more. We produce enough for all people and animals yet those resources are held hostage for ransom, for money, a fictional currency that has no bearing on our ability to produce or distribute those resources.
If a wild animal, say a dog or cat, had to live without the help of humans, they would have no choice but to hunt and steal to survive, they would climb, jump over or dig under our fences to scavenge our trash cans (and kitchens if they could make it inside, like bears often do), they would hunt our livestock and our pets, the homeless animal would be considered a criminal, or pest. The animal would do all this out of desperation for survival, they would live in fear of humans who try to stop them from trying to survive. Farmers and pet owners kill many wild animals (and call them pests or vermin) in order to keep them from hunting and killing their livestock and pets.
But since we provide resources for the majority of our pets, they have become more tame, secure, trusting and Loving, because they have what they need, for not only survival, but the ability, atmosphere and environment to grow meaningful healthy relationships. Why is being human different? Humans that don’t have, and can’t get what they need, will be driven to the same kind of desperation, to push down empathy and Love in order to survive. If everyone had the basic dignity that everyone deserves, they wouldn’t ever be driven to make bad choices just to try to survive.
Our world has plenty for everyone, so why hold back the resources that would make humanity a much more peaceful and Loving society? There is a better way to organize our world. When will humanity wake up out of the haze, stop fighting and come together to create the world we are meant to live in, a world of cooperation, collaboration, abundance, prosperity, liberty, freedom, joy and Love For One Another? We can, and will, make this a better world, the question is, will you be one of the ones to help manifest it?
Love & Awareness is the way!
Much Love, Everyone!
