I deactivated my facebook account this morning. Nothing happened or anything like that. I did it because the holidays are among us and I really just rather not have to see any of the bullshit.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not a scrooge or anything I just have some real issues with the holidays. One of the biggest issues I have is the fact that we take one time out of the year to think about how we are supposed to treat each other year around. Another issue I have is the bullshit commercialization of the whole thing.

The day after we give thanks for the things we have we stomp and kill each other over a stupid object we just haft to have to buy someones love. WTF. Seriously. Is that the level which we have chosen to express love to others? The more I buy for you the more I love you? When did money become the standard measurement of our love?

The corporations invoke the masses by selling you their garbage at a price it should normally be sold at making you think you got a deal. But what kind of deal is worth selling your soul for? The Holiday Season has become about making the rich richer and putting the poor in more debt. Its doesn’t teach love it just talks somewhat about it. Just enough to make one feel justified in their partaking.

When the Pagans celebrated Yule they would give gifts of blankets and clothing to the needy and poor. They would help shelter the homeless. Yes they would even provide a toy or two for the children. They did this because they understood one important thing that we have severely turned our backs on and that is life is more valuable than objects. The Pagans felt everyone should have the opportunity to survive the winter.

It sickens me to think how much humanity we loose as we become more civilized. People at this very moment are fighting a corporation and the government over a pipe line that could destroy the drinking water of millions of people. In China a company makes its profit selling canned air as the air quality over there is so bad there is no fresh air.

How much longer will we let the few destroy everything and we all pay for it? Why are we still allowing them to convince us this is the way life must be? When shall we ever be relieved from the burdens of possession? The body we have is not ours but it belongs to the earth. We are just borrowing it. Now our thank you to our mother is a big fat middle finger and the words fuck you attached to it. Its all about me!

Its supposed to be about we. All of earths creatures depend on each other. If we continue to allow Governments and Corporations to destroy our planet for their own selfish greed then we will all die. The system in which they created is a one way ticked to destruction. The only lives that matter to them are the ones who can afford to pay. But that’s ok you just keep thinking you have a good life and that everything is wonderful. Enjoy your fantasy land and have fun. Those who are willing to wake up to the truth will be the ones who survive.

We gave up real freedom for the illusion of it. We bathe in the blood of the innocent as though we are more than fleas fighting over who owns the dog. Will we ever actually learn to share?

If you want to make a real difference this holiday season then I would suggest to face the truth. Spread it around and help others face it. If we continue to sit on our asses they will continue to feed us bullshit.

Its time to allow humanity back into our lives. Its time for compassion. Its time for truth. Time to love.

I Stand with Standing Rock. I believe in life not profit. Please support the NODAPL effort. This pipeline could kill millions. People who have protested by form of prayer have been shot at with rubber bullets. They have had Water cannons fired at them at below freezing temperatures. A lady lost and eye.

Why are the people who did this not in Jail? Government and Corporation are breaking yet another treaty and allowing innocent peaceful protesters to be harmed. Why do we need a pipeline anyway is it not time to get away from fossil fuels and go with much cleaner alternatives? Or again are we supposed to kill ourselves so someone else can get fat?

Either you care or you don’t however do understand your affected, your family is affected and no one cares if you care or not your going to pay the same. It’s time the few understand from the masses that we’re not going to take it anymore.
