5 Good Questions Answered

1. What is the biggest lesson life has taught you that schools never could?

-That most people on this earth are completely indifferent to all around them. They only care about themselves, or their immediate family. No one else matters to them, and if great injustice is happening right near them, they will look away unless it happens to them, and then they want the world to save them.

-Moreover, a good number of people are motivated by collection of wealth above all other things. This can’t happen for most of them, so they actively worship those who have hoarded great wealth in all manner of immoral ways. They never look to those who help the world around them, help other people in need, or try to make the world a better place - instead they mock those who would do the right thing for humanity.

-And lastly, the good people out there are vastly outnumbered and it’s very hard to make a dent in the poverty, pain, and suffering of this world. We have the means in North America to end poverty and suffering for the entire world, yet we allow people to collect 90% of the worlds wealth while exploiting everyone and every thing they can. Those are the hearos of the masses, not those who would feed starving children.

2. If you woke up tomorrow with 1 billion dollars, what’s the first thing you would do?

-Set up a number of funds that would be self sustaining and the interest from those funds would go to help people around the world. I’d also set up a number of people I know have spent their lives doing good for others, so they could live in comfort for their remaining days. I would make sure that a good number of disadvantaged people would be able to get a good education without crippling debt the rest of their lives. Medical expenses for poor people to be covered. Food for those without. Funding for research and so on. I’d only keep enough to be comfortable the rest of my days.

3. Is there a dream you have given up on in your older age?

-To be honest, I don’t have dreams anymore. Reality has set in, that I will never have the ability – either financially or physically to achieve any of the things I wanted to do before I died. I will never have enough money to even live in comfort, let alone to be secure and to be able to travel and do things like fine dining. Hell, I can’t afford a hamburger anymore, let alone a meal at a fancy place. Most of my life I’ve wanted to visit Yellowknife, but I will never get there. It’s too expensive to do. I was promised by a good friend to be taken there, but he passed on unexpectedly and that one last dream died with him.

4. Do you have a sole mate?

-Not really. I thought I was in love three times in the past and found out it was not real love – at least not love that was reciprocated. The women in all three cases were controlling and manipulative once I moved in with them. One of them laid hands on me several times. There was a person who became my best friend ever in life – she was like me in so many ways, and we were like one person when together. But we did not want to get into a relationship, just to be friends. If we had met twenty years ago, we would have probably ended up husband and wife and spent our lives together – but it was a life of bad relationships for both of us, and it was not to be.

5. Do you think humanity is capable of living in peace and harmony?

-Not on your life. Humanity will end its day in conflict with great divides between the classes. There will always be hate, greed, war, and poverty. We are no more than animals in the end. On average, people are not capable of giving anything up to allow others to have when in need. For that alone, we will never be at peace. There is too much of a desire to split into smaller groups with humans. It’s natural for us, and it’s natural to be in conflict with the other groups. No, we will never be more than we are now.
