Modern politeism

Modern people believe in menu Gods like in ancient times. Modern people see God in a lot of authority people. Everybody who speaks with the Authority becomes a God-like person to some group of people who trust in their words without limits. We have authorities about the food we have authorities about how to sleep we have authorities about how work we have authorities about how to speak with other people how to behave how to do this or how to do that. 

For each segment of our lives, we find authority that explains how to leave our lives and trust in it almost blindly, like the Gospel or some kind of Holy Scripture. It is the same as respecting different Gods that guide us through different segments of our lives.

Modern religion, which is called atheism is believing in the words of other people with the same blind commitment as religious people trust in the words of their "high" people, and in most cases internet profiles, blogs or forums are Holy Scriptures of modern believer fanatics. 

Internet behavior proves this similarity. People will fight about anything that their authority does not agree with, even if it the same thing but is just explained with different words than they expect to see.

We are not better than the cave people... 

Rule with fear or with Love

 From the beginning of time, the most powerful people are seen as those who can take what they want, destroy the property of those who oppose them or kill people with ease. Ending lives was seen as a sign of power. But in humans' hearts there was always one more powerful force, the force of creation, the force of Love. 

And love is the most powerful force of nature, it shows that by surviving inside the hearts of people in spite of all suffering that we are surrounded with. We can see the Love in acts of small children, not spoiled by fear and hate, as all they crave and all they give is Love. They do not know for anything else. It is only our choice if we will live in love or in hate and fear. it is our choice every day, every moment. It is the most important choice that we are making with every breath we take. 

And what is Love?
Maybe we can say that defining Love is two sides...
It is written "do not wish what belongs to somebody else" and I think that is one side for understanding Love. Do not wish somebody else success, somebody else property, somebody else happiness... Do not imagine yourself in shoes of other persons, do not wish to replace somebody else in any way...
Do Your Best to be successful in your own way, do not ask for it, do not wait for it, just do things, small ones at first, that will make you a person that you can imagine achieving greatness you dream of. Help people to be great on your way to greatness. Help other climb walls, and do not expect them to help you in return as they are on their own path, and you should not follow them on their own road expecting favors in return. But somewhere when you are in need, somebody else path will cross with yours and somebody will help you and just went away perusing their own goodness. 

Creating is what makes us great. Not destruction. Destruction is what gives the illusion of greatness as everybody else is on the ground or under it... But for people who create they climb on the shoulders of others and are much higher than those who destroy foundations they stand on. For those who destroy everything ends with their death, for those who create their creations last long after they pass away. 

Is that true... look around you, for each person who corrupts, destroys or kill, there are ten or more people who create, who makes life better. But most of these who create are not known, as they live good lives happy that they are useful for humankind, and they do not seek for masses to cheer their names...

People who destroy can not imagine how God can be powerful if He forgives... for them all power is in punishment. God on the other side punishes people by making them to see how much could they make if they made different choices. I think that those who had visions of hell with people crying and screaming, trying to get on top of others, beating each other... it is just a place where those who are not worthy are waiting in from of the gates of Eden. They can see beauty, they can hear it, they can smell it, and nothing they can do can get them there... those who had everything on earth, who could make people dead with one word, have no means to get into the most beautiful place. Access denied. That is hell and purgatory in the same place. Those who destroy everything that was in them that made them not good, can one day purge themselves and get inside, but most of them do not even understand what they did wrong, which is now empty of Love and goodness they are. 

Is there bigger punishment for silver spoon VIP to be left in the waiting room for eternity and being able to see beauty, richness and power inside and not being able to enter... or for murderous rulers who could fulfill all selfish wishes not to be able to do anything to get even one step closer to the only thing they want, to enter Eden? And all these people can not blame anybody but themselves for that. 
Or even worse is that they can see that some people, who broke walls they had around their souls and goodness could finally enter, people who repent truly, are permitted to enter, but they can't even start walking down that road due to all arrogance, selfishness and hate they collected here on Earth. 

Evolution of slavery

Evolution of slaves to the cheap workforce. -Opinion-

During the early industrialization, factory owners figured out that slaves can not be pushed to learn how to use complicated machines due to a lack of motivation. so they had to figure out how to motivate people to work long hours, on complicated machines and with higher efficiency than salves.

The solution was to pay them enough to barely survive but to put survival on people, so they have to accept inhuman conditions due to the pure survival of themselves and their families. That way ex-slave owners were relaxed from supplying food and housing for worker's families, but they got a "motivated" workforce that would not destroy means of production as their own life were depending on them. By keeping the numbers of unemployed people relatively high so they had the meaning of blackmailing people into working for very low wages. 

Few revolutions after and 200 years later we are in the same situation, as industry owners are again blackmailing people into cheap workforce by high unemployment numbers but in the same time prices of goods are higher than ever due to the destruction of small production that was always helping local people to survive. 

What is even worse is that banks are in partnership with industry owners and they push debts on the working force so they are not ever in a situation that they can change jobs easily as they have to pay debts every month and if they can't they will lose homes and in most cases families will be broken.

Solution... theoretical one is the change of the economic system, the realistic are the wars, as usual, because we do not think before we destroy.  We only hope that after the next war it will be better than before. 

World education forum... what is wrong with Wikipedia

Forum where different themes will be discussed. 

Before accessing some themes you will have to fill the intro questionnaire to show your understanding of the topic. Only after you can join discussions and read articles. 

At any time you can change your mind/answers on questions, "why changing" explanations should include an article that made you change your mind on a particular question. 

Comments are never deleted, but all bad words are ***** if you choose the option not to see them. if you do not all words are visible. 

Comments can be voted into many categories: from educated to BS, by default they are in the neutral category. Categories can be filtered so people can read only educated and/or normal and/or BS comments on articles.

Understanding... I mean not understanding

We do not understand each other anymore. 

I blame education. Education teaches us terminology. In most cases we just remember what we are told that some word means, and afterward, we project it to the real world. Then we do not understand other people who use the same word but have a different teacher. Some people even have a life as a teacher, so their terminology is very much connected to reality, but is also quite different from what is taught in other  education centers. 

We are not thought how to communicate properly, or to want to understand others better, or how to try to ask questions to clarify terminology before we start arguing. In education, everything is just black and white, but in life words have a different shade of gray for everybody and are different for every day or mood.  

We really need a change in education. We need to learn communication, meaningful communication, how not to initiate conflicts, how to want to understand each other. As what we have now will destroy our civilization if it is not already too late. 

Teachers, tech kids to think about what they hear, to doubt they understood good and to ask questions to clarify meanings and definitions. Teach them that different languages means different ways of understanding the same words (when translated), so they do not fall in to the trap of conflict over misunderstood words.
