My Perfect World

 In my perfect world there would be no political thought but individualistic free-thunkers where only one thing mattered:  Every single Human Life.  It would be a world where indivuals would choose how to achieve a perfect balance between living and to let live.  But my perfect world cannot exist within any political system.  So, I am a free individualistic free-thinker who thinks outside the box.  If I say NOTHING is more important than Human Life, there is no system that can support my views.

The Eastern mindset is different, because it stresses the importance of the individual and NOT a system.  My system of thought supports the indivual and not governmental systems.  It is separate from all religions.  It does not require a group.  But indivualists such as myself are very rare, because it seems people need groups.  For whatever reason free-thinkers in regard to Human Life are like the Thoreau's of this world who shun anything related to institutions.

Maybe I am the last of the hippies as a relic left over from the 60's, but this has been my thinking from the early days of my youth.  Free-thinking about Human Life, testted the boundaries of conventional thinking, but I have been an indivualistic free-thinker all my life, not fitting into the norms of society.  This free-thinking has gotten me into difficulties more than once, but once I understood this about myself, I was able to accept who I am and understand why I think the way I do.

But I never fit in with societal norms, because I always believed in the importance of every Human Life.  But such thinking nearly cost me my life more than once. Howwver, once I understood, then at least I came to Peace with God even though such thinking brought me into conflict with others.  But I never gave up on my perfect world.  Some say it will happen that every single Human Life will have importance both to the self and to society.  

I believe this world can exist only when we begin to think about the importance of the life of every individual no matter how different we are.  But if this world is to exist as I wish it to be it begins with me.  The free-thinking individual IS most important, but right now this world has no room for people like me.  Some see us as a threat to institutionalized thinking and many of us are thought to be crazy or worse.

But instead of adapting ourselves to institutions, we believe institutions must adapt to us, because without us, society can't exist.  It will erupt into civil wars where life has no importance except as one thinks as the group.  Groups form tribes and tribes seek warfare not peace.  There are people like me that are found in groups but too often we disagree with the groups to which we belong, but fear keeps us silent.  I have no such fears because my free-thinking believes in the indivual and not the group.  We are rare indeed, but our thinking is that society can't survive with oit us.  And it won't.

I am an individual today smoking my Sherlock Holmes pipe with Autumn Evening while believing in the importance of the indivual and the life of the individual.  I am just one with a very small voice, but I refuse to quit for my survival just might depend on my rugged individualism.  Just something to think about and be at Peace today.  Seek Peace and you can't go wrong.    

It's raining this morning with temps about 70.  We desperately need the rain.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
