Being a sensitive often renders me to retreat for a while as I gather my thoughts and energies. Spending time walking, painting, and reading still doesn’t remove this underlying feeling of a world on the edge of erupting. Much like Mount Etna at the moment as she vents her energy from within, I also feel at times like erupting and screaming my heart out over the many injustices within this world.
Sometimes I get so overwhelmed at the divide in this world of the haves and have-not’s. Here in the UK on the 15th March was Red-Nose Day, This event has been taking place now every year for 25yrs in a bid to raise money and awareness of those who need help. From children dying every second from lack of clean water and malaria to homelessness and poverty,disease and war landmine victims.
Many different causes both abroad and here in the UK are helped. and yet in 25 yrs not a lot has changed.
I was still witnessing those same upsetting images as I saw how Mothers loose their children and babies, and how children loose their parents and how in many of these countries citizens struggle just to survive, as children forage on rubbish tips for things to make enough money just to eat.
And yet ask any of these children a simple question and most will say all they want is to be able to go to school and be educated ..
Click the photo for news report on this image.
And those lucky enough to afford to go to school some walk for 2 hours from dawn just to get to their classroom, and 2 hrs back along rough terrain in scorching heat.
Most who read my posts know I try to keep my posts positive, because what we think we create!.. But sometimes I just need to vent and bleed my heart to the world.
Because all that we have gathered together in our spiritual awareness needs to be put to good use right now.. Not in the future… In 25 yrs down the line nothing has changed for these people.. Its time we saw the Truth of our society and how those in the seats of Power control and will continue to exploit the have-nots.
There are two subjects we are always told to steer clear of and that’s Religion and Politics .. Well since I last posted we have seen a new Pope elected and he chose the name Francis, a name to reflect the Church of the Poor.. Well I hope this new Pope can not just be a name and figure head, but I hope he can be an ambassador for the poor.. As the Church can well afford to help the needy..
We all know the economic situation around the world but just how bad does it get when the EU start to take your savings from out of your Bank account without your permission. Well that is what is happening in Cyprus as a Tax levy is being introduced. And the Banks doors have been closed until Thursday!.. while their parliament decides to vote .
We will begin to see a shift yet again very soon and this time it will be the ordinary people in our streets who will be shaking themselves awake to the manipulations of those in Power. We are waking up to the Truth of our reality where Corruption is rife, where our Political arena’s lie to the public and to themselves
When People stand up in their power, it Does count even if it may seem an immediate result isn’t forthcoming.
Collectively we are waking up!.
We need to now WAKE UP! in more ways than one. We need to wake up to what is real and what is not. Awakening means to discern with your own intuition. We will all know deep down when to act and when to bide our time. We will know we have to change our ways and clean up our habits of a lifetime. That is the challenge that all this consciousness evolution may have been preparing us for. We now need to take a closer look at our ways of Being!
These are trying times which are testing many souls, but if we approach the changes wisely, consciously and positively in unity and harmony we may also see the future evolve to the World we have collectively been working towards creating.
Are your shook up enough to see the real world?

yes but you’re preaching to the converted. How can we get through to the people who can actually do something about it? The trouble seems to be politics, whether it’s in the church or in the parliaments. Once people get a taste of power, they change. They become nasty and look to their own selves, forgetting the people they should be helping. An example of this is the politicians who promise the earth when they’re trying to get elected, then forget their promises once they’re in power. The church is no better. Probably the real reason for the last pope stepping aside is that he was disgusted with all the corruption around him, didn’t know how to deal with it, decided he was too old and frail anyway and stepped down and I don’t blame him.

I’ve seen similar before and video reports of children and adults foraging on rubbish tips for whatever they can find. It makes me livid! WHY is this happening today? WHY are so many people very rich and millions SO poor. I feel with you on this one but WHAT can we do? We give our money – it’s never enough. We give our time – it’s never enough. When we see the ‘results’ it just makes us feel hopeless. Perhaps there will always be poor but when I look at those pictures, I see the face of my dear little grandson looking back at me.

Yes all true and now that I am coming to the end of my life, I look back with a sense of disappointment. What did I do? What could I have done? What time is there left to do anything worthwhile? Would I have been any different if I had got into a position of power. I have watched Obama through his presidency and sometimes I see a look of disenchantment on his face. He is sometimes disheartened because whatever he tries to do, he is thwarted by the other side. Here is a very powerful man but he is challenged daily… I look at people like Ang Sang Sue Chi (sorry about the spelling) and I see a woman who gave up the joys of family life to follow a cause but to me bringing up a family was the most important thing in my life. I wanted to do it right. My sacrifice was not to work for 15 years so I could concentrate wholeheartedly on the family and its needs. She, on the other hand, ‘neglected’ her family to follow a higher cause.
I like what Mrs. Thatcher said, all those years ago. It went something like ‘If you can manage your own purse, then you can manage a small business and if you can manage a small business, you could manage a larger business and if you can manage a larger business, then you could manage the country.’
We all have to start somewhere. The question for me is , did I do it right? I managed my own family and a small business. I stopped there because to do any more would have been to neglect what I already had.
We put our trust in leaders, assuming that they will make the right choices but often we and they are disappointed. Sometimes it is the smallest things we do that change the world.

I went out to work when my youngest was 3 because at the time my husband had been made redundant in his job. It was easier for me to get employed in the factories than for him to find a job.
We each of us make choices for the circumstances we each are in…

And if we all just make a small change to the way we think it goes a long way in making those changes we all need in this world Oma.. Thank you 🙂 ~Sue

Hi Sue, I’m starting to feel like a sponge right now, and every piece of negative news I read seems to be sticking with me. I think I’m reaching the stage where enough is enough… I can’t take it all in. I also think I may need to take myself away for a while to gather my thoughts as well.
I was thinking the same as you with regards to the Red Nose Day event, how they still have to do it after all these years. The amount of money they raised also shows the money is out there, and available… so if we can stop focusing on the lack of money that should start to help some way with one of the world’s problems. The thing is, we’re bombarded by images of this lack everywhere we look so the wrong message is getting through.
So, as I said, enough is enough! Here’s to good times in the immediate and long term future. My thoughts are now directed towards a change for the better for all.
Sorry that this comment is slightly negative, Sue… but hopefully, I’ve been able to water down that negativity.

We can change the world with positive intent.. But at times people need to wake up to the facts! which so often are right under their noses.. And we cannot continue the way we are heading.. Something has to give..
Like you, it was my sensitivity that caved in, and that is why I bury myself in painting and walking.. trying to find some inner peace…
But being a sensitive we absorb the feelings of others often without realising … And it can drag us down..

Hi Sue, I too am finding it hard to keep quiet with what I see around me. I happen to live in a beautiful small town but that town is very divided by the very wealthy and the very poor. It’s sad to see, when one family is struggling to figure out how to pay the few bills they have another is lamenting the clogged plumbing in his master bathroom and which of the other 4 bathrooms to use for his shower. The one thing I see is if they wealthy lose what they have they will have a much harder time adjusting to the changes than those who are accustomed to the struggle. Those children and many others like them (for instance in China who wade through our e-waste) make me want to cry, I can only look for so long as a result. I know my actions aren’t doing much to help them and wish I could save them all.

Hi Sue, I too am constantly shaken by all these things. The Cyprus situation is appalling – it is pure and simple theft! I do struggle though with Red Nose Day and similar things. I often hear people say: ‘It’s good we’ve raised all this money and enjoyed ourselves at the same time.’ There is something wrong in this – I feel very strongly about it. Must people ‘enjoy’ themselves on fun runs etc., before they will help others? Also that sense of ‘charity’ rather than human beings who have entitlements. I think a lot of charity reinforces the ‘us’ and ‘them.’ I hope you don’t mind me airing this. When will people do good just for its own sake, with no reward for themselves? These things shake and trouble me a lot. Thanks so much for your post. Much love to you Sue and thanks for your lovely visit earlier – I did so appreciate it. xx

I give to Charity, unable to ignore the painful pleas and pictures sent, but I dream of a day when Charity, the collecting of money for those without and in dire situations, will cease… that all needs are met and things are sorted out and not just papered over… seems to be the state of things now, throw money at the problem and the cracks won’t show. A total change is needed, in the way the Government shares out the money WE give them. Those at the top of the wealthy tree, the lucky ones with should share more with those who are without … An opening up of hearts and minds would help this world of ours, and a total change in the mindset of ” I’m alright, let those others take care of themselves” … I so hope that a new day dawns when Red Nose Day, Children In Need, and all other Charities are a thing of the past… with the root causes found and obliterated. … Now that would bring a smile to my face… luv ‘n hugs.. xPenx

Good to see such a big response Sue. Your post says what we feel. A needy news paper I subscribe to, Positive News, has it that a high percentage of us will switch to a more community centred bank, like the Co-Op and building societies. News papers are famous for giving us what they think we want to hear, and disregard a lot of the more positive news. With the work very many are doing at grass root level, irresponsible banks will soon find themselves without customers, before they have time to clean themselves up. The same applies to big supermarket chains, as small co-operative enterprises fill empty shops. This is all following a trend away from national to local. Governments too are being given warnings, through a multitude of global petitions. Avaaz National Forests petition, for example, halted this governments plan to sell off a large percentage of our woodland. Fact.
I have felt the same despair and hopelessness, for days at a time. Then I pick up my copy of Positive News.

I believe some of the problem may be created by our ever eager media to present serious situations and subject matter without conscience. Unfortunately they are very real and do exist. However, watching any newscast today will bring fresh stories into our living rooms of mass murders, rapes, starvation, suicide, and war (guns,guns,guns). This is a society anywhere, and everywhere. This is the way it is. My first suggestion; unplug

I think it is changing slowing but surely Dreamwalker. More people are waking to realise that something needs to change. Something needs to improve and that something starts with their self. That is a permanant and lasting change.

Sometimes we don’t want to see the real world but it is all around us. Thanks for making us think about it. I hope Pope Francis will bring focus to the poor around the world. Good post.

We live in hope’s always and I add my prayers too , but those who are in the depth of poverty need more than hope, for they live each day of their lives in faith that tomorrow will be brighter..
The system we each live by needs to change… and slowly I am pleased to say many are seeing that this change has to begin with their own ways of being.
In a world where by we throw 8.3million tons of food waste away each year. We certainly need to re-address the balance, where Millions starve to death.
Many thanks for taking time to come by and read and leave me your comment CC..

I certainly woke up and got shook up at the thought of any government raiding our personal savings and shutting us out of our banks and access to our hard earned pennies!! Ok so it’s been broached in Cyprus, but what’s to say our own government won’t decide it’s a really cool idea and that they should implement it here? I’m beginning to think it may be much much safer hidden under the mattress!I think the changes we are seeing in our world are driving those in power quietly insane!! Time for a change in the balance of power I think!
On a more positive note I am personally re-learning how privileged I am to be continuing my education and revisiting opportunities I threw away when I should have been sweeping them up with open arms. Maybe one day this new chance at education will open the doors to finding ways to help others achieve that goal too 🙂

Hi Sue 🙂
As soon as you said ‘being a sensitive’, I knew where you were coming from.
I feel like you do like Mt Etna sometimes. I can completely understand the primitives, actually, thinking that wild storms and tsunamis must have been the gods being crazy, because it’s just what I can imagine: a god feeling such enormous frustration with us slow to learn human beings.
You know, this evening I dropped a fork on my toe while preparing dinner and the PAIN, the PAIN I felt as my digits were struck by that hard fork immediately had me think of what people must suffer in torture, and torture is just something I cannot, cannot understand about human beings. I know there are psychopaths but I cannot comprehend not feeling compassion and concern at the pain of another person.
This was a great read, Sue. I really appreciate it tonight in particular actually. Thank you. xx

Yes Noeleen, I often wonder at the Human Race full stop! as to how so many can Kill, and torture another human being with no compassion or thought. I often question our origins as to the violent nature of Mankind… He surely has lost his way in regards to his Kindness, in his namesake.
I hope your toe soon heals, nothing more painful, You would laugh I dropped a bar of soap on my toe the other day,,, LOL.. not funny is it, when we are hopping about on one leg.. hehe…
We have to laugh and make light of this world Noeleen… I try to switch off as much as I am able…. When I go to bed if I caught sight of a news bulletin hubby was watching, ( as I try to avoid) I lay awake thinking too much of the horrors inflicted upon our brothers and sisters, especially the children of the world.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts here, I so much appreciate them. Much love to you xox Sue
