We live in a corrupt world, where you are no matter where you go it's always going to be the same. There's no denying it and you can't escape it, but most importantly it's not our job to try to change it.
We've become a world of people constantly in search of a better day, constantly holding to desires that promise what they can't deliver. Hoping that if maybe we got out of our current circumstance or completely fled from everything that is holding us "captive", we'd be in a better place and things would start to change. But the disappointing yet incredibly enlightening reality is that outside circumstances have nothing to do with the true enslavement of our being as humans.
Take it as you will, it applies to many different aspects of life, but the truth is feeding into the realization of our imperfect realities is only furthering our conformity to the soul destructing environments we are all wishing to escape. I believe the only thing we truly can do to better our lives in the midst of the mess we've all created is to chose to embrace it in a positive way. We can't change the fact that there's always going to be war, we can't change the fact that people will always hurt one another, and we can't keep running waiting for the day it will all go away. But what we can do is live in a way that confidently encourages the things that we wish to change.
Whatever you're against, whatever you're passionately giving your negative energy towards, flip it around. Right now make the choice to change the way in which you think, view and act upon any and every negative affair in life. Because our sole ability and productivity for anything good in our time here on Earth is cultivated from within. It is a choice to be made every single day, and with that a better place we will begin to create.
