Eyes wide open

I am not the person I once was. I will forever be me, but I am moving towards the person I will be. I live in this world. All my life I see the world through the eyes of a boy. But the world is not as it was – in my head or in reality. I knew of injustices. I knew of pain. But they were always external. I don’t pretend to have seen the world and all its problems, but my eyes and ears are open now.

This world is no longer our world. Run by ideas that are not for the people or by the people. The power plays the people. And those with it, say this is the way it is. But it is only that way because they make it that way.

If you have a chance, take a look at this BBC documentary 'The Century of the Self'
(4 x 1 hours). It's on youtube and for any Spanish speakers - my friend has translated the first episode and made subtitles for it. The documentary is about the control of the masses.

Another really great documentary is call 'The Story of Stuff'. There are a few parts to watch but is world watching because it is very clear and easy to understand. It's about 'our consumer-driven culture — from resource extraction to iPod incineration — exposing the real costs of our use-it and lose-it approach to stuff.'

My eyes are opening to all possibilities - of what is actually reality and for me... what should not be a part of my reality. I now realise I have a choice. But the revolution will not be televised always... it will happen. But for that to occur we have to have a better understanding of what is happening.
