*Consider This*

Raid the garden, or SAVE the garden? The garden itself is under attack. And I agree with you that we need to take it to the streets and parks. But unfortunately we are scattered throughout the world and most people are still fast asleep, on autopilot. It's going to take an earth-shattering event to get the masses to do anything. The brainwashing program has been too successful.

Okay, maybe it was an unfortunate metaphor.

Nope. Don't buy it. That's where the excuses start. If you don't want to change your paradigms, that's alright with me. You do put your paradigms into practice whether you know it or not; we all do. Your life and who you are right now are the living embodiment of what you believe. If you look at your life and find yourself uncomfortable with that fact, it is up to you to change it.

I'm not criticizing you, sir. I'm pointing out that we can come up with a thousand excuses. We don't have to rally the troops. We don't have to become wandering gurus. I would be completely incompetent if that was what was expected of me. We just have to shine with the knowledge that we have. But if you don't want to, that's okay too. The rule of life that applies to us all is, do whatever you like, with consequences.

Have fun man because until something massive happens to wake people up you aren't going to change anything. You go out and try something and watch as they beat you down.
