Today: Children trafficking

Child trafficking stills exists today. According to this source, 1.2 million children are trafficked each year. Trafficking means that you essentially enslave the child, usually involving kidnapping, and also involving dangerous, immoral, or illegal activities, including forced labor, sexual exploitation, used in the military as soldiers, and within the drug trade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trafficking_of_children Recently one news source posted an article regarding the refugees entering Europe, titled: More than 10,000 refugee children missing in Europe http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/01/10000-refugee-children-missing-europe-160131164555450.html  Many fear that the children were taken into the trafficking system. The child trafficking is a lucrative business. This is evident because enslaved children are a cheap labor, and because they can be manipulated to produce high income related business activities. Even though these activities are illegal, they occur. This inv...

Human Potential 405

We are each of us born with great potential. What is this potential? It is the power and ability to become something. You have the power to create this world the world how you want it, but there is a catch, so can everyone else. So it is a catch 22. You have power, but so does everyone else. That is why the only answer that can exist and work for everyone is to do what is best for everyone. We can all agree there. Our potential is already here at our finger tips. We just require the will to move it, and make it so. The ability to learn, do, see, remember, is part of your very self and body. You can learn and do anything. However it takes time. And it takes luck. Some of us unfortunately don't have a say or power to express as much as others, due to the environment. Yet even within that you have the power to decide how you are, and thus who you are. Even in the worst slavery, you have that power. And this will surely create ripple effects in the people around you. The greatest power...

My relationship to myself. Origin Story Part 1

Image
So I am faced with a really interesting point that is a really unique opportunity. This is a big point that I don't understand. So what I am seeing here is an opportunity to walk through piece by piece and it being a cool way to walk something big that I don't understand in a series of blogs. I haven't walked something so big, at least in a while. And given how comfortable I am now within writing, I am now able to walk it in a series of blog in this way, even when I don't have the full point walked yet for myself. So this will be a cool opportunity for real time walking and writing. So the above is my little introduction, and I will say that the following course is what has helped me or supported me to write and investigate myself, if you are interested in doing the same. Desteniiprocess.com So basically I spent a long period of time with someone yesterday. Who this person is in relation to me, is obvious to me as being very important to this point. This is a par...

Day 53: We are the Environment

So continuing with the discussion of what is best for all...          I was looking at this situation, there is a being who is in this world with many other beings. This world is here, its stable from a rule based perspective. Physics describe the physical rules. There are many many different stable relationships in the physical and many different substances and interactions that occur in predictable fashions. I made a comment or claim to another being once that humans should aspire to be like a tree. I mean this in the sense that humans learn commitment and stability. Trees are committed to living in a way to simultaneously support themselves and the environment around them. They are clear in who they are, and trees together have an accumulative effect that support life and the environment. You see, without the environment humans would be nothing, life would be nothing. The environment is the physical, and it includes nature, and the animal king...
