Success means different things todifferent people; in our society it ismostly measured by what your job is,your standing in your job, your salaryand your material objects. Is this not alittle ridiculous? I have had friendswhere we never even asked each otherwhat we did for profits; there issomething pure about this. In thiscontext it is all about who you reallyare, and what you are as a person andhow you act from moment to moment.Many people define what they actuallyare by their job, is this not a kind ofmask to hide behind in many instances?Are people who, in their spare time andsocial groupings, constantly talk ofwork sometimes unhappy or have ablockage about something deep down?I’ve come to realize that this is becausemost people are terrified of changingtheir life so they put all of their energyinto work where they can be seen as‘successful’ and ‘respected’ for workingso hard.Could you imagine being a part ofsomething that is so wrong in yourheart that it tears at your soul; that ithas gotten so bad that it is even hurtingyour relationships? I am living alifestyle that goes against everything

that I have been taught as a person,everything that I know as a person.More than 35% of our federal incometaxes go toward current military anddefense spending i.e. war in Iraq andAfghanistan (portion estimated byAFSC Quakers). And of course the IRSsays this reason for not wanting to payis frivolous. I refuse to give my energy($$$$$$ is not real but in this case lets sayit represents energy) to people whowant only to kill other people and stealthe natural resources of their country.I cannot be a part of something that isonly making the world a worse place for EVERYONE. The fact is that I lovemy family too much to kill them byplundering the world for profit.I can't say that I had a flash, or instantthat I decided that I no longer wantedto participate. It has been more of agradual awakening. One that began onthe morning of September 11th,2001; even before then the feeling wasthere, just didn’t know how or what todo and for the most part I was afraidof what people would say. I am a"people pleaser" by nature and the fewpeople that I did tell about the way Iwas feeling (I don’t blame them) gaveme a bit of a hard time and I felt a bitisolated.Still today I can’t stand to watch thenews or anything on television… and ofcourse that goes for any mainstream film…. it's just that they remind me ofsomething that I don't like. I have cometo realize how precious and short thatour lives are and that every little thingthat we do while we are here should bedone whole-heartedly and withmeaning, purpose. That is why I mustbecome very involved and make somechanges in this world, for my Sun’ssake, for Everyone’s sake, spreadingthe idea of REAL peace and showing theworld that we don't have to kill eachother... I know that I will not accomplishthis on my own, but at least what littlebit that I do will be a start. Then thelittle bit that the next person does willaccomplish a little more and so on downthe line.My search for "truth" reminds me thatscience can't provide "absolute truth".And if science (arguably the most"objective" method we have) can't giveabsolute truth; we shouldn't just expectit. It's important to ask questionspoliticians and mainstream media haveshied away.Most people tend to shut down theirrational mind the moment they hearthe word conspiracy even thoughthere's plenty of declassifieddocuments that verify a long history oftop-level conspiracies. The U.S.government, its military and its secretservice have plotted to justify wars andimpose their control on other countriesthrough intricate secret schemes ofdrug running, gun smuggling and

assassination. They even consideredrigging fake terrorist attacks thatwould cost American lives in order tostir the public to war-ready outrage.And that's just what the declassifieddocuments tell us I'm almost scared toknow what's in the classifieddocuments.We live in a time where people's mindsare constantly being conditioned intoaccepting the idea that education solelyexists for the purpose of getting a goodpaying job in this corporate globalworkforce which brands citizens ashuman capitol.I know in my heart that we are in thedawn of a new era that I'm confidentwill bring a change for the better. Itruly believe that the human spirit isconnected and that we are all feelingthe same way. Through this new age ofinformation being so readily available,there is a sense of collectiveconsciousness that is spreading andsoon the whole world will be infectedwith this renewed spirit of hope andequality.Today the main powerful force behindmy every carefully calculated step ismy SUN. I would be setting such a (inmy mind) bad example for my child. Iwant to teach my SUN that killing iswrong no matter what thecircumstances. Unless I am stopping aDIRECT THREAT TO my family's life, IWILL NOT KILL. I will one day pass thisline of thinking onto my SUN. I willteach him to respect this world and thepeople who live here; all of the people.Again, this is the single strongestmotive driving my tact and intent whendealing with this issue. I want to leadthe kind of life that I can respect andthat he will respect me for.My SUN, born august 10, 2006…about half way into his 2nd year onthis planet, in which his … every wakingsweet moment of every day … is spentso excited… constantly posing questionsabout some of the most trivial,mundane and extraordinary things inthis life and the world … constantlyquestioning authority and people’sactions and behaviors … and no matterwhat I may answer (even at the time Iseemed annoyed or tired for what evermeaningless reason) he always seems to follow his intuition and feelings inarrival of his own harmoniousconclusion. I can literally see the wheelsin his brain spinning as he figures howbest to handle a matter so not to upsetthe balance of things…to keep allhappy.I remember what that felt like to be achild. So happy to just be… seemed todecrease in my school years; notbecause I had all the answers butbecause my life became indoctrinatedwith routines, rules and othersexpectations (your expectations). Rulesin parks, shops, and schools and athome EVERYWHERE. Then we’re
