Wake Up!

The question is will we ever wake up? Will the unjust conditions that characterize so much of the world we live in become to much to handle? Or will we continue to pursue titles,privilege and material rewards that provide worth for those who have been utterly convinced that these ideas provide meaning to life? The bourgeoisie ideas of America have invaded every sector of public space to the point that they provide the blueprint for what we should aspire to. It seems we are lost in the midst of materialism and escapism unable to realize that something is wrong when we need constructed escapes from life. Life, is something to be enjoyed not retreated from for lack of purpose. However, until we challenge the ideas that seems to set the parameters on what are lives should look like we will continue to be lost struggling to find meaning in the midst of meaningless situations. The struggle is to recognize that life is about the pursuit of truth and the possibility of touching true freedom and working to make the world a more equitable place for all. I feel that prosperity or material privilege means nothing if certain segments of the world population will never have access to paths that lead to that comfort.
