(Any comments appreciated)
In an increasingly globally linked world that still suffers from ever spiraling incidences of mass violence and destruction, depravation and detachment, what is the role of the inspired individual who seeks change?
What is the intrinsic value of the "free" person--where do we seek and gain "authenticity--how do we go about creating a personal and political ethics?
Is the social push toward conformity and acceptance (of things as they are) inescapable?
So we are flesh and blood individuals (biological/animal), but we also have a higher level of consciousness. Is this a curse or a blessing? Why?
How do we cultivate a citizenry that is willing to recognize and take responsibility for their individual/collective actions? Is this the right goal, to take responsibility, and cultivate response-ability in others, or should we just flee into the safety and comfort of the faceless crowd?
Following the advice of Nietzsche, how would you "become what you are?"

my thoughts are : )
that i) u are already everything u could ever want to be (or u wouldn't want it), you've only to uncover and/or escavate within.
ii) everyone cannot do everything. we can do, what we can do. if everyone did; the world would be different already. so... being faceless from time to time is necessary, but that's not the same thing as 'giving up'. and i don't believe 'giving up' is a befitting option.
iii) sharing. sharing from person to person, opens minds. educates. stimulates. that's how things change (thru various methods and modes of sharing).
Ricia--great advice, #1 has brought me much healing and sanity and #3 is the core of my activism/engagement...
Happy Psycho-Bunny Day!
Peace

in the end... by work. ;-)
Orange,
as well as how we play... ideally they might even dovetail... with a healthy dose of activism in both?
