“I had a vision of a way we could have no enemies ever again if you’re interested in this- Anybody interested in hearing this? It’s kind of an interesting theory and all we have to do is make one decisive act and we could rid the world of all our enemies at once. Here’s what we do: You know all that money that we spend on nuclear weapons and defence every year- “trillions” of dollars? Instead, if we spent that money feeding and clothing the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, not ONE; We could as one race explore outer space together in peace forever.” - Bill Hicks
I'll tell you one thing: it doesn't take the likes of a philosopher, a doctor, a world leader or any other sort of academically or otherwise acclaimed human being to bring about changes in our world. It takes ordinary human beings who aren't afraid to open their eyes and be honest with themselves about what they see. Such people are so selfless that they protest when witnessing even the smallest act of injustice with great ease. They constantly step back and see the "bigger picture," and do not allow short-sightedness to get in the way.
The words above were uttered by a comedian; A comedian who went further than the callings of his profession and spread a message of equality; charity; peace; justice; courage; truth and MOST importantly, the unification of the human race. This man saw beyond the divisions and was able to visualize prosperity for humanity as a collective.
I refuse to resign myself to the notion that the world is nearing an end, or any other so-called explanation for its current state. As long as the world is here, the vision remains.
What Hicks imagined was not impossible. We humans have the capacity to do much good, as long as we allow ourselves to do it.
In the words of Bill Hicks, "end of f**king story."
