People Vs the system...

Well...lots of crisis stuff in the UK at the mo. What with the banks and financial scene in a bit of a pickle - don't really understand it all, other than i pay lots to live. I know God has got my family & me in the centre of his presence so its all good....but what of the system??


2 things struck me recently.

• The first thing was seeing the G20 protests in London. The crowds and sheer numbers of your everyday, average person with average income (i imagine) and ordinary life. We have to vote, fill out paperwork in triplicate, lobby & ask for change, , ask ask ask...and it gets nowhere. So along come the protests and the PEOPLE, who force the change purely by speaking up. Although, the protests turned violent, there was one thing driving them, and it wasn't just the frustration. It was PASSION. Negative passion, I grant that but PASSION never the less.

• I was watching Gary Go's song "say I am Wonderful" on you tube , and I loved the fact that people (average, ordinary folk) would come together and get away from their stiff upper lip syndrome, and actually open up. But in the opening up, they make themselves vulnerable and real...very refreshing as i think we tend to hear only bad news and have fear of others. To see peoples real thoughts and desires just made the point that we all hurt, all have dreams and are just as bemused at life as the next man.

The point is, we all try to order stuff and figure it out but it aint going to be solved by our money, politics or even nice music. We can try to be happy but if we don't get the first thing right, then we are just pratting around!

The first thing to get right is to be restored by our creator -if we dont have this peace in our soul, then we will feel the repercussions throughout our lives.
I'm preaching at myself as well here, so don't think i have it sorted yet - but i'm trying.

Very trying, some would say.
