Modern Democracy or Modern Slavery

Quite a big part of the humanity is used to live in a modern democracy and the other parts which don't have this opportunity normally strive for it. In my opinion every system can be good or bad, it is important how we design it. Actualy how is always more importat that what. Modern democracy is may be the best system nowadays, but it must evolve. Let us take a more inside look of the modern democracy.



Modern democracy is based on the old roman democracy modell. It has, let say two chief castes - free citizens and slaves. The first group had had a high social status and many rights and the people in this group could do almost everything. The second had had almost no rigths, but the "right" (actually the obligation) to work. If the modern democracy is based on this modell, which are the slaves and which are the free citizens. We are always told to be the free citizens. And we are free citizens. But where are the slaves? We are the slaves. The slaves are the workers and the tax-payers. So, in the modern democracy we are both the slaves and the free citizens. But we don't have the capacity to be both. These are two very different groups. Nowadays we don't have free time to be free citizens - we work and consume, work and consume . . . and our thinking is changed. We think more and more like a slaves. We forget to think like a free citizens. So we live in a kind of a new slavery, a slavery directed in the false way, a slavery in which we serve not the other people, but a small privileged group of people and a system - the modern democracy.


The new generation has already understood this problem, but still mostly unconsciously. It tries hardly to find a solution for this problem, but it must first consciouly understand where the real problem lies. It is not always bad to be a slave, being a slave is a way of giving away. But you cannot command anyone to become a slave. The slaves of the system can be transformed in "slaves" of the society and of the fellow people, but in free citizens as well. This free citizens will have the choice to consciously determine the way in which they will serve the society and the people. The system itself will answer with a solidarity towards its members and allow this free choise. The different civil initiatives are already a step towards this change of the system. The system must but still garantee some kind of complementary (financial) security of the free citizens.

Working and Giving Away

Every single human being is different and unique and this is surely a nice thing. But we are used to group ourselves in communities, in cities, in countries and so on. A group of people is nothing but a kind of a community of purpose or a community of some kind of similarity. If we concern the work there are two types of people - which work and which do not work. The second group consists all people which are not able to (ill, disabled) or are prohibited (children) to work or allowed not to work (retirees) for some reasons. The social system was invented in order to ensure that the second group can survive. The idea is just to take some money or goods from the working people and give then to the not-working. It is a nice system. It is a system which ensures that we give away if we have and that we help people which don't have.

But there is a "dark side" of the social system. There are people which just don't won't to work or work, but in such a manner that they don't give anything away. Can we exclude them from this social system? Acctually not. We are still supposed to give them - we don't want to let someone die from starvation. The problem hier is that some weeknesses of the system make it possible that some people never work and never give away. And the logical question is how to make them work? Ok, there are some people which give away without working, so let ask the better question: "How to make people give away?" Is it possible to change the system in a better way. Sure, but it won't be a solution - there is no perfect system and every single system can be corrupted.

The only possible solution is to make people really understand what it means to give away, to explain why we need to give away. To explain that when we give away, we progress, we evolve, we become better, we create. If we suddenly remove the social system, the give away system, we will see that only a small part of the people will still give away. Most people will stop to give away. Why? I think one reason is that our "give-away" social system is not well explained. The people which work does simply not realise that they give away or if so they don't realise that they make something positive, that they help other people.

I think it is high time to start to act in this area. To start to explain what it means to give away. To give away not because we must do it, but because we want to do it. To give away and to understand the meaning of giving away. And we must start to change out social system from a system which makes us give away unconsciously to a system which enables us to give away consciously. It was before 2000 when Christi came and we have still not learned his lessons. His mission was not to change our thinking (as the system nowadays), but to learn us how we can change our thinking on our own. He wanted to change our Old-Testament-thinking - "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" in the New-Testament-thinking - "if you have two shirts, give one to someone who needs it". The first is acctually giving away through order and the second is giving away because of inner persuation. The conclusion is - start to give away, because you know consciously that you want to do it and why you need to do it.

On the other hand there are many people, which understand these notions quite well. They understand what it means to give away and they want to give away more than the social system allows them. These people must be given the chance to act. Such people can do much more, can give much more away if they have the freedom of giving away without the restriction of the social system, which makes you capable of giving away almost only by working. There already many ideas how to change the social system and I think it will gradually evolve in a better one. We must just have the strong willingness to make it better.

Most important is not WHAT we do, but HOW we do it

I've currently seen an interesting webpage - http://www.hubsess.com/. It enables us to define a so called hub, i.e. a topic, which is of interest for us and us it to acquire information about it or some similar topics. It is a kind of combination between blog, newsletters, rss, chat, forum, video, photos and many more. It is a really powerful communication tool. And it is sure not the first or last such tool.

The "new" Web 2.0 and the expected Web 3.0, as well as many other new technologies give us entirely new possibilities. Not only in the communication field, but in every single life-sphere. Nowadays we can do almost everything. Everything becomes possible and there are always people which can do some specific thing. So the entire knowledge of the humanity and the possibilities to communicate and share this knowledge are becoming practically infinite.

But why we still have such enorm problems like illnesses, poverty, wars? There are actually solutions for all this problems. I think that the problem is that we concentrate on WHAT we do, but not on HOW we do it. The way of doing things is exactly what makes us happy and what solves our problems. WHAT we achieve is of course important, but the way to the aim is much more important - it teaches us and shows us what really matters in life. The way, HOW we do things, is the milestone for our total sustainable success. This notion is contained in the Bible as well.

I thing that the modern technology is a typicall WHAT and the cultural and spiritual development the typical HOW. And nowadays almost everyone concentrates on WHAT, on technology. We are a technological society. We are making the technological development a final aim. But technology is and can't be much than a mean, an assitance for humanity. So we are making this assistance an aim. As a result we are deviating from the really important aims - to improve our society, to improve our relations, to improve ourselves. We are evolving in technology, but not in spirit. This devastates our personalities and then our societies as well. For example, we have the technology to communicate, but we have forgotten how to communicate with one another.

So let concentrate on HOW we do things, no matter WHAT we do. If we do it in the right and positive way it will end well and we will be happy with it.

Poem up your life

I'm very pleased to present you a really nice poem from a friend of mine - Hrisi. Thank you, Hrisi, for sharing with us your optimism and happiness!

Walking down the dusty road,
Seeing people dark and cold.
People with a destiny dreaded
Don’t know where they’re headed.
Their hearts are made of stone
And their souls are all alone.
So now they’re rude and bitter.
In their eyes is no more of glitter.
What has happened to this world?
In cruelty and power it all has swirled.
Children screaming,
Soldiers fighting,
Factories are steaming,
And Mother Nature - biting.
Is that’s why I had to be born?!
So that my heart could get torn?!
Looking at this disaster
As if the world is going faster.
And everything is falling apart
But I don’t want to leave it with an empty heart.
I want to fight
And wait for the day filled with light.
When the stones will be broken
And the true words will be spoken.
The souls of ice will get crashed
And the guilty will be smashed.
And then we’ll learn
How to love and how to cherish
But the rest will burn
Because evil has to perish.
We’ll put an end to the madness and the crime
And there will be no more blindness till the end of time.
Then I’ll walk again the road of dust
And all I’ll see will be happiness and trust.
Humans will be finding one another
And we’ll be all together with our father.
There will be no more pain,
Nor goodness will go into vain.
We’ll live together like sisters and brothers,
We’ll finally know how to treat one another.


This poem is a really nice and uncomplicated way to say how you think and feel. And I think and feel just the same. I think that almost all people think and feel in this way. The dynamic everyday life with its problems and the impossibility to live consciously are the only factors which are disturbing us from feeling happy. But these are easy to overcome, if you just try . . .

Be the change you want to see in the world

These are words from Mahatma Gandi. And he did exactly what he'd said. Everyone can do it. There are a few which have the capability and patience to achieve so much as Gandi, but we actually don't have to. We all can do a little every single day and it matters - the overall result is enormous. Small things matter. These are the impetus the society needs. We do not need a revolution, we need an evolution, but every single day, every single moment, always. Just hug someone or smile . . . and you have already changed the world for at least one fellow.

So do not hesitate to do what you want and what you think is good to be done. It does not matter that no one else does it. It matters that you start doing it. This is the change everyone can do. And then there will be surely someone to follow and then another one and the change is there . . .

The first step is the freewill to change something. The second step is always the change in mind - to know consciously what have to be changed and how it can be changed. The third step and the fourth step (it's not so easy - patience and strong motivation are needed) are to act, to make the difference. And then the fifth step - just get used to act always like this. Pleasure and happiness for the well done job will be your companions. And then you will discover that there are other people as well which have done the change. And the world will be changed without trying to move big mountains, but just moving yourself.

There is a nice web site - We Are What We Do - where you can find numerous small ideas how to change yourself and your behaviour . . . and then the world. Have fun with it. :) Others will appreciate it.

Healthy in body and mind

Total sustainability can be developed and maintained by the society only if all of its members or at least the majority of them develope themselves towards a conscious life. And every single individual is responsible for its thoughts and actions. An important precondition is body and mind healthiness. Thats why I'm going to publish some ideas and small actions which maintain and recover our health.

Nowadays we live in a modern consumption-based society which enables us to choose the right product or service. It is therefore from enormous importance to make a conscious and sustainable choice, especially about our body and mind health. There are many peril everyday habits, which are a big obstacle towards a healthy life. So I'm going to reveal and discuss some ot them in the health column.

Total sustainability

I'm highly interested in the processes which take place in the modern society and how we act towards a sustainable world for everyone and everything. Sustainable means social, ecological and economical. But this concerns only the "material" part of our being, so I would like to speak for the spiritual or psychological part as well. And the sustainable thinking, the sustainable thoughts, the sustainable mind is even more important than the "material" sustainability. So I will write about the combination of both and call it "total sustainability". And what does it actually mean? It means to think and act consciously in a sustainable way and to accept the responsibility for our actions. It means that we always make a conscious decisions towards a sustainable, a better world. It means that every single person changes in a positive way. It means that we can save our world and make it an even better place for our children. The best possible description is: just live consciously.

This blog will be much or less about the total sustainability, about the new conscious life. So start changing our life now. It is easy. It is easier than we thing. It is actually extremelly easy and this is the best thing. With simple, everyday actions, but conscious ones we will arrive to our new, better future. So, have a nice day and don't worry about anything. Just be happy and make others be happy. And the world will be a better place to live.
