I am being honest by saying I really have no idea how to start this but I am going to try my best and this is a side way to do so…hhhmmm….to somehow think how to start. Well to be honest though there is no reason why to go around it or why to wait before you see what I truly want to say so maybe I should keep it short. Most of the core of my point is going to be here, right now. I would like to let you know of the 2nd Movement. The 2nd Mvmnt represents the idea of non selfishness. The 2nd Mvmnt is based that we start our life from 0, that is when we are born and then we move…does not necessary go up the stairs of life, because upwards or downwards really depends, depends on how you look at it, on how you think, what you want, …it is a subjective thing! But hopefully you do move…and the 2nd Mvnt focuses on the 2nd one. 0 phase… We are just born, raised and told what to do by family, school and society…we are told what we are supposed to do in that society and we do it; we are still seeps in this stage. Just go here and there without knowing why, letting our selves to the choices of others, not question nothing, breed and eventually dying without knowing what happened. But some people do move from zero to go to the next step….which we could call it the 1st. On that 1st step, 1st move, is where people do snap out of this seep mode and really start to wonder what they are doing in life and if they want to do what they are supposed to do, if that is going to make them happy. So according to the answers on questions like that they try to find themselves and seek something that they want, something that would make them happy. Which is again a subjective thing. Others go for spiritual enlihtment and other for top managers and high positions, other go for art and carpeting and others for authority and politics. These are personal choices and each one is respected, maybe not agreed, but yet accepted. But I want to focus on the next move because it is my opinion that the 1st is not enough. The 1st move is good but still not enough and up to one extend selfish. Plus personally I see a lot of people trying to find so hard their personal happiness and they are searching and searching so hard to figure out who they want to be and how, while having all the
options and possibilities of the world in front of them, books, work possibilities, education and universities, places to travel and many more when more then half of the population of this world does not know what an option is. I am not saying it is not good to find your self and off course you should. It’s only then that someone can really make a change. It is just that if not all, a big part of our everyday life is based on materialism and I think that makes us look in the wrong places. But maybe it’s not people’s fault all the time, society made them so blind that they are searching in the wrong places. Modern society filled all the surroundings with money, quests for power, selfishness and other illusions of good life that people believed and search for their self in there, they search for their own happiness within these values. Society made people that are really smart and awaken seek with their eyes and not with their hearts. That’s the problem today. People are so afraid to feel happy because they think that they will give in. I hope they find their answer, I hope they close their eyes and open their hearts. I wish for them to stop thinking only of themselves and see the world as one. Please though remember…all this is my opinion and does not make it correct. I accept that all these work for me but each one has his own path to cross and find what he believes as true and fulfilling. This is why I would like to focus on the 2nd move. The second move is to question what results have your actions on your surroundings, what impact to society, to environment and generally to others. I mean the 1st move is really fine but if you don’t consider a bit the second then it’s just a selfish move in the end. The 2nd move is to question not only the results of your 1st move but is also a way to rethink the values and ethics that drove you to do it. Is a way to see if your motives were true and came from within your heart or if they were just the illusions that society somehow implanted into you. The 2nd move is to see if you overcame the barrier of your self that society tries to offer as the center of the world, to see if you can stop thinking only of what your actions bring to you but to think of what they bring to the rest as well. What job you do is totally irrelevant to what I am trying to say, but the ethics behind it, is all that maters. If what you do as your job is also done with respect to a greater good, if
the results of your efforts contribute towards a common better world, if the way you lived your everyday life, stopped being driven by only selfish thoughts then our world would start changing. The answer is not to stop everything in our life that is intended for personal pleasures and change everything. Common, off course we need to be our selves as well, otherwise we might go empty and dry, we need some water for our own fields as well, don’t forget that. We need to be a bit realistic if we want a true change cause we’ll end up with an amazing utopic theory. I always used to say that true change can take place with two feet, one stepping in reality and how the world is and the other one on how we would like it to be. The 2nd Movement will try to inspire people to think of the 2nd move. And off course in order to go to the 2nd move you do pass from the 1st so hopefully things will change. But inspiration is different then guidelines. The 1st step is truly subjective and everybody has his own ideas for their future and of true, physical and spiritual happiness. The point is to avoid this work work work…spend spend spend mentality. This modern super consuming thing. But the usual story is everybody prefers to moan, nag, cry about it, talk about it, play dumb or blind, too busy with work or studying and million more excuses. The 2nd Movement will focus on action; will focus on Art which is the best way to represent a revolution and inspire the mass. The 2nd Movement will be an artistic revolution reminding people of the 2nd Move, with independent authors, independent painters, musicians, actors, film makers and whatever comes our way. We will try to be organized and not just talks. The 2nd movement will try to represent these ideas with art and this way we can approach a wider audience and many people can be expressed through what suits them the most; articles, graffiti, music, short movies and more. The time has come. It is really not about joining…it really is not about that. Off course if you want to contribute you are more then welcome….but I am really not trying to convince you to help….but firstly to consider the two steps and then the rest is up to you.
Somewhere somebody said (I really don’t remember who but it was not me, I wish I could remember though) “A strong man helps him self, a stronger helps the others”. Realize that it’s not about changing from one day to the other and it’s not about changing the surface. It’s about changing ethics, values, what we’ve taken for granted and changing our most simple everyday way of leaving. Another phrase again that is stack in my head and again it’s not mine so I am not trying to steal it but again don’t know who said is “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Be independent from the powers that govern, the more dependant you are the more hooked up you are and so the easier you can be taken advantage of or be manipulated and so on. It’s a perfect time to RE-ACT. There are already many people out there making their theories into actions…. Many were in the past though that did take action, Mandela, Che, John Lennon, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Woodstock and many more Now you might disagree with some of them or with their way but that’s the point!!! Do so! You are not them, and don’t be! Get inspired though and be you Carve you own way
