Just Thinking.........

I don't Understand........

Why so much money is spent on space-travel,  when here on Earth so many are starving and just barely existing.   
When so much money is spent on advertising the qualities of the newest candidates for political office,  when outside these offices there is no affordable medical scheme to help those who need treatment to stay alive.  
The high prices of medicines and hospital care make it impossible for some to seek help.
When there are homeless sleeping on the streets because there is not affordable housing available.  
I pay$260AUD per week just for rent, add another approx $30AUD for electricity, gas, water, telephone per week and I have $380 to give out before I can buy food,  pay petrol to get me to work each day,  buy clothes,  get medicines and by this stage I have worked   a 50 hour week,  just to survive.
I need to insure myself,  my possessions and anything else that needs insuring.
I am dizzy just trying to survive.  This is the advancement we have achieved!!!
With working such long hours comes the stress and family breakdowns associated with todays lifestyle.
Why so much of our taxes are spent on paraphernalia left in our letter boxes about all the Government is GOING to be doing for its voter's,  when Aged Care is in dire  straits and the Disability Services need funds.  Children Services need housing,  Abuse Clinics need staff and education.  No one wants to believe that these services are in crisis until we need to use them,  then we are faced with brick walls and red tape that can make your head spin.
Why the judicial System can be so unfair and we see children given back to Abusive Parents.  Rapists walk free to rape again because of a technicality.
Stress and the continual need to keep up with "the Jones's"  are two factors of why we are corruping our society
  
I can't comprehend.......

That on every billboard there are advertisements for all the evils of life that we are supposedly meant to avoid.  Younger and thinner models shown to make us believe we are all old and fat.  If we were to believe all that is documented and fed to us through the media then we would not drink the water,  eat any foods,  breathe the polluted air, drive unsafe cars, talk to strangers,  in fact we would be so much safer staying behind locked doors.  
With each new evolution in technology comes a downfall.  
Mobile phones cause cancer.  Does it?  If you think about how many cases of cancer we have now to lets say 50 years ago,  then we are making cancer.  Spray fruits and vegetables with chemicals,  feed growth hormones to make a chicken grow so fast it is unnatural,  but we still eat the meat that is produced.
We walk into a supermarket and peruse the shelves,  all boxed and packaged in colourful wrappers.  We fill our trolley's with all the goodies and off we go, in these goodies is who knows what.  All is not stipulated on the back of each can or box,  just what regulations says must be,  but yet again off we go and eat,  drink and consume these treats
Low fat foods are higher in sugar.
Low in sugar means higher in fat.
Take out one ingredient and substitute it with another,  add preservatives and chemicals, MSG and it will taste wonderful,  only problem is it will still make us fat or give us eating disorders or send us batty trying to work out what the hell we are actually eating,  and if it actually does taste good or if our minds are just trying to convince us it does.

Insurance companies are your best friend when you sign up and are giving them your money,  but turn this around when you need to claim due to natural disasters, death or theft and then it is like getting blood from a stone.
It costs as much to die as it does to live.  To be buried is an expensive ritual.




Please Explain to me........

The price of food is so out of reach of the average person that many go hungry or eat starchy substitutes just to quell hunger.  Then we are again battling obesity and eating disorders.  High caffeinated drinks sold as energy poppers so that instead of getting natural highs we feed this into our systems just to get through the day.
Why people with Mental Disorders are treated as CRAZY,  when if we are all honest 90% of the population are on some form of medication for treatment of stress, anxiety, paranoia, claustphobia and many more,  all of which are under the heading of Mental Disorders.
MENTAL:  to do with the mind: use of the mind: disuse of the mind.........
Why society believes that a slim person is far more intelligent than an obese person.
I could go on forever and still not touch the tip of the iceberg that we have created but in  our small way we can try to make our place on Earth habitable and as inviromentally friendly as we can.  We cannot stop the politicians and the BIG BOYS  making decisions for us, which I find unbelievable!!!!!!!!!


Are we not living in freedom in a country that exercises the right to free speech?  Then why do we go unheard most of the time.............
