Ive been asking so many questions like why are we here. Well why are we here? nobody knows.. Have you ever thought that we really dont have that much life to live? we are stuck going to school for 18 or more years of our lives and then to top it off we are stuck working the rest of our lives and then we die. And what are we working for, to support our families? to make another person rich? Well I'll tell ya what if we didnt have society like we did today we could sure take care of our families a whole different way. Yeah I want to start a revolution but I want all of humanity to know about it. I want them to know the greedy life style they are living, that we are all living. We are going into wars... and for what? War is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard of. We are fighting over oil, money and you know what, its GREED. We should all share these resources that are given to us. There shouldn't be people who get more resources than other people, there's enough to go around. We should be equal because we are all equal, you are no different than any other human on this earth, no other living being. Im just asking to think about it, and remember , you have less than 100 years to live now... and that time will fly by before your eyes.

I agree, the inspiration doesn't just comes and if it does, like it in a sense did for me (not through indolence, but through thought and meditation rather than physical activity and good will) it won't cultivate itself on its own. My lifes mission is a Revolution that is meant to be felt on the global scale, and I say this with the reason that if you are passionate enough about something and risk your life for it, it will be in effect global, so long as the intent is good, which mine is. In a way, you are part of my Revolution. You added to the inspiration and we are therefore in some regard connected to one another. I am mostly certain that even you apart from me here today and in a more remote place will know about my Revolution, as I know about yours. You will hear about it and its principles, goals and aspirations; it shall ignite hope in you too, as your Revolution did mine, and that is how I will repay you. Sincerely, Zachary Scott McBride Hey.

Seems like you've done a bang up job of gathering your focus and helping others to work toward that step as well. Exciting to imagine what transformations might take place as we undergo our own personal and collective revolutions.
