The Breet Report

A blocked window by shrubs by Rachel Breet Richmond August 2009

Am I alone? I ask myself this question from time-to-time. I look around and realize the answer – “No. I am not alone.” The life I have been given is utterly wonderful. I have everything that is needed and a dog. That was an “I want.”

So, what does my question mean, “am I alone?” I was once asked, “what world do I live in?” The conversation was hinging on the decency of people, the light and moral of people. Meaning that people know the difference between right and wrong, therefore, do not try to “buy into” certain aspects of the worlds many wrongs.

This was an conversation were I knew I would be made to feel like an idiot. I have an uncanny way of believing that people cannot be as horrible as we have been to each other, or get any worse. (As well as dealing in the areas of the environment.) That the actions of the past are recognized, and will not be committed again. That though – each of us is different and place value on things, that the light bulb is going to go off and all of that will change. That there is always hope. Hence the rebuttal, “what world do I live in?”

Am I alone?

I recognize that money talks volumes around town.
I recognize that what car I drive will determine someone’s immediate evaluation of me. Heck, even my clothes for that matter.
I recognize that press release information changes from 2 to 24. (Anyone else see that?)
I recognize that there are still assassins in the world. Shaping it how others want it for the right price.
I recognize that animals are slaughtered in coves. That the water becomes blood.
I recognize that people are sold into slavery. Human trafficking has never ended.
I recognize that people are abusers, thieves, and backstabbers. Some that never thought they would fall into one of those….

I recognize that in the shaping of the world, what all of us know today, we are all pretty darn messed up. (Ha! I like to think I am normal but I am no more normal than others.) There are many avenues in which all of us can blame someone, or business entities for this – parents need not bare the brunt of all the blame. Yet…I have hope…

With exception to the last entry (maybe the second one, depending on how it is viewed), the site is a great place for me to ask questions. The questions that are asked (they have to be asked), but never get an answer too.

Being a sheep in this world – it is not anyone’s place to know why the horrible actions of the world continue. Think about it. All of the horror of the last 1,000 years just has new names and credos attached to them, with new technology to give it a whirl. Is this all humanity has learned – ever – in our long history?

Am I alone in seeing this? Am I alone in actually caring about my fellow man and environment?

I cannot choose which cause to take up and speak out for the most, because at the end of the day everything is connected. The causes come from another place, then another place, and another – this is a cycle. One issue cannot exist without the other to have taken place or continue to take place…

I feel that with all of the conditioning – no one speaks to anyone, anymore – in a manner other than trying to brow beat, and get others to agree with them. I feel that people have it in them though to overcome said boundaries (of everything) to give this world a shot of being more than globalized, but humanized. Boundaries wiped out and knowing that fear was perpetuated by….name the thing.

I promise that I will get back into more of what I normally write about tomorrow…
