vlog. SPDF Day 18:  Is there really no one besides a dearest loved one you would gladly give your life to save?  Well, then all is lost.

If you would give your life or anyone it would probably be for someone extremely close to you.  In our society this is normal, for the last 6000 years this is normal.  If normal continues your nieces and nephews, children and grandchildren, have no future other than a living material Hell.  I suppose this is unfair.  I suppose it is not kind.  But it is the fact.

Global warming is destroying earth and the final seconds to stop that are passing as we speak.   What American democracy there was is being replaced by some combination of oligarchy, fascism, and the last seconds to stave it off prior to an unstoppable dark ages of innumerable decades or centuries, the seconds left to stave off are passing now.

These are both immensely abstract issues from which we are distracted by a multitrillion dollar economy based on addiction to stuff, and the lies and illusions that go along with that.  This is why a freeing Palestine, finding that as I think I would, you too would gladly give your life for any of the seven million Palestinians that have been so tormented for going on 70 years now, this is why this is so instrumental to the first two problems that I mentioned.

The Terrorization of Palestine is the most concrete, most evil, most immense horror facing humanity today.  It requires less imagination to see the victims and to find the compassion within ourselves to happily trade our life for even one of theirs.  I don't know that such a thing as such mass mobilized compassion has happened before in history in the numbers that this will require.  It is not going to happen.  But unless it does there is no hope of stopping global warming or global police state.

If that mass heroic mobilization happened for Palestine there is a prayer, because an awakened heart doesn't stop when it has solved the problem at hand.  It looks around at the rest of its human family.  So in the army that mobilized to free Palestine before the next slaughter would be an army that would subsequently mobilize against those other two problems.  There is no other situation that can raise the army.

If not you, who?  If you don't become the change, who is going to?  No one, is the answer you should find the courage to face.

Is this a sad prospect.  I can't speak for you, but for me it is the most joyful prospect.  The prospect of giving my life to save even one Palestinian?  That's heaven.  The much more minuscule, but real prospect, that I could be part of the start of raising the army that could save all future for humankind?  Do I find that sad?  I feel it is what I was born for.  I feel it is what you were born four.  My learning and study tells me it is what we're all born for, but we have forgotten, we have been taught to forget by our ultimately sick culture.
