Letting the Pieces Fly

Everyone has heard the saying, if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

I am part of the problem.

I realized today that if I want to be part of the solution, I have to take action. I have to change. I have to do it now. There will be no solution if people like me just look at the mess humanity is making and shake our heads. If I can see the insanity and yet continue to participate in it, how sane am I? Don’t answer that.

It seems to me that humanity is playing a game with rules that will never allow anyone to win. We created the game and we wrote the rules, but even as our game is destroying us we won’t stop playing. If we want a better world (or more likely, any world at all) some of us are going to have to start breaking the rules. Some of us are going to have to refuse to play.

I am burning my rulebook. I am flipping over the board and letting the pieces fly. I am not playing the old game anymore.

Want to join me?
