Raising Social Consciousness

Let's take this beautiful animal



For much longer then should have ever been allowed..this creature was hunted for nothing other then it's ivory tusks..the bodies of the animals left to be ravaged by nearby predators ...not for food, not for anything other then the greed of the ivory trader.

Social consciousness was raised by the worldwide community to bring to light to the moralistic injustice of such a thing....lowering the population of such an animal.

Raising that social consciousness was not driven by greed, or ego...it was the right thing to do. It was driven by KNOWING...and in bringing to light such injustice...raised the social consciousness of the atrocity.

This is the avenue that needs to be driven..Raising Social Consciousness.

Removing the ego from the equation was what made it right.
And with that Freedom for the animal..comes the responsibility to monitor the situation...as it still goes on today..however much less..but it does exist.

So the moral of the story:

Raising Social consciousness by KNOWING it is wrong...by removing the EGO...brings FREEDOM..and RESPONSIBILITY
See how it goes hand in hand?
