Hey yall! It is I, your friendly neighborhood robot lizzzrd. I was wondering what sort of world you would like to inhabit. Personally, i would love if everyone on the planet had their basic rights and physiological needs satisfied, and i mean everyone. Regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other status, i believe that all creatures deserve to at least have a shot at basic wellness. One persons ultimate, ideal, overflowing happiness is not equivalent to just the basic standard level for everyone.
Now you might ask "Well Rob, what about those who do not deserve it?" Hmm, let me answer your question with another question. Who am i or anyone to decide what person is deserving of basic wellness? Unless there is irrefutable evidence of a persons worthiness, one should never assume that enough is known about a person in order to make that call. Until all is known about them, we must assume by default that they at least deserve to not starve, and have some level of security. We can argue forever over who is worthy of this, but let's save that for another day. Let's move on.
Ever heard of Maslow's pyramid? If not, it is pretty basic to explain. There is a priority of needs, beginning with the basics, and going all the way up to self actualization at the top of the pyramid. Self actualization is a requirement for ultimate happiness. BUT...in order to reach the top, you need all the basics, in a certain order. Food, clothing, and shelter are at the very base, and above that is security, and so on and so forth. Maslow's pyramid is in itself an interesting point of discussion, and i recommend you look into it. But lets get back to basic happiness. Moving on.
All of this is my attempt to say that, until all of the worlds inhabitants can have the basics, we should actively shift our global priorities to make that happen. It takes priority over the wealthiest of us living in absolute luxury. I am sick of living in a world where anyone is allowed to be ludicrously rich while others starve. I am also sick of violence being the norm on the world scene. We should be helping each other achieve at least the very basic level of wellness, and not pampering the elite few. The elite few could also experience happiness ina world where life standards greatly improve for everyone.
That is of course, unless the elite believe that everyone else is beneath them. Well, to that i must ask, how can these people excel in our world? How do we allow that to happen? Why can we not band together for global wellness? Why do we stand idly by while the rulers feast on us like cattle? Let's take action to make the world a better place for everyone. Let's do that in any way that we can :D
