Love does not need bribes

I read all the time on Facebook a lot of dissatisfaction of people about public officials that are bought and paid for by large corporations. These officials pass legislation that benefit these corporations or these corporations give a lot of money for reelection campaigns to ensure that their agendas get done. As more and more people become aware of these kind of tactics the frustration goes up and more and more mount information on the forums to expose this kind of behavior.

This kind of behavior has been going for ages which shows just how absolute power corrupts absolutely. Whole governments have been swayed by this power using money to get people to do what normally they would not do. If it does not benefit them directly then they have to be bribed to go along with a plan. This is of course done for the purpose of making a profit which normally could not have been made without official intervention. When profit is the name of the game then bribes at any means becomes the end to justify the means.

The end that justifies the means in the end reaps big profits for big business but for the common man causes much pain and suffering. Bad food, bad water, bad working conditions are the end result for bribes paid to people by big corporations. These results are easy to see in third world countries and many inner cities where mercenaries or private military contractors are brought in to enforce the end results of paid people and their paid for decisions.

For a thinking person that sees this clearly and has an enlightened attitude it of course causes anger and indignation especially when many do not see it and it goes on in plain sight for those that are very aware of it in the very corporations they work for. If you are looking for this kind of thing in companies and or governments it can be easy to see since all that is required is to simply follow the money to find the impropriety.

So how does this kind of thing get done so easily and so commonly. Those answers will cause everyone to do the hardest thing again and that starts with going to the mirror and see where most all of our problems and suffering start with and that being ourselves. The easiest way to say it is that everything is a microcosm of a macrocosm or the small empowers the big.

Money never buys things but it always buys people. People have things, information, or property that they either create, make, or acquire. What makes us all unique is the fact that we all have gifts that others need from us which makes us all so unique. When others need our gifts, talents, or things that we do not need any longer they ask for them. If love were the way of life everyone would gladly give these things freely but since most are ruled by the fear of going without it is not offered for free but only at a price or a better word a bribe. If someone needs another persons four wheeler because it is on the front lawn with a sign on it the owner has possession of it and has a choice to make give it or accept a bribe to give it up.

The justification for this is that when they need something they have to bribe others for whatever they need too so since everybody else does it then it is okay. This is the very thing that gives the people in corporations and governments the go ahead to do this kind of action all the time. They are already involved in it at personal levels and it is the norm. So it becomes okay for this thing at personal levels but it is not okay on the big levels that change the whole world.

The answer for most is to pass more regulations, laws, or enforcement to stop people from taking bribes. So they petition the very people to stop this kind of thing that are already deeply involved in it. They look at the hypocrisy of all it when everyone they represent is doing it but they are not supposed to be involved in it. The other answer by many is to fight this kind of thing trying at all levels to expose it so the world can see it.

It is obvious to see though that since most operate this way that it is very hard to stop the very way of life most support. Any attempt to stop this does nothing more but make it harder and harder on everyone in the world with more surveillance, oppressive tactics, and military enforcement. The only real way to stop the world of bribes is to stop empowering this way of life by not participating in it at personal levels. As more and more people become enlightened and realize that love and giving is the only answer to all the ills of the world this will slowly die as less empower it.

In the end love is, was, and always will be the only answer to the things going on in this world that everyone knows is wrong. When we give it always comes back to us which means we do not have to be bribed out of fear but give out of love. As more and more of the world experiences the end result of love with suffering going down and hope going up then they too will follow also.

Everyone wants to enjoy a good life without the headaches of regulations, surveillance, and brutal police tactics. It all starts with all of us individually which soon becomes the collective way of doing things. Understanding this also may help others to not criticize the corporations that offer bribes and maybe many people will simply be not for sale any longer. These kind of things can only be overcome by serving each other in love and love gives without demanding anything in return. We can all become part of the real solution to this in the world by the old saying of let their be peace on earth and let it begin with me.
