Build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete



    Just being offended by war, poverty, injustice & greed will never solve anything but will in fact only prolong them -- will make war-against-them its own industrial complex:
    War on poverty,
    War on greed,
    War on injustice,
    War on war.

    “What you RESIST, PERSISTS”
    ― Carl Jung (1875–1961)

    “I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there.”
    ― Mother Teresa

    “You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
    ― Buckminster Fuller

    “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy,
not on fighting the old, but on BUILDING THE NEW.”
    ― Socrates (469–399 BCE)

    "Truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."
    ― Max Planck

    All humans started out the SAME, as socioeconomically equal hunter-gatherer Bushmen in east Africa. Individual & family choices evolved some into the more-motivated & more-educated (greedy) and others into less-motivated & less-educated (poor). Then each polarized group accused the other of injustice & war-industrial-complex was born, which now (like it or not, directly or indirectly) provides livelihood for most humans; oh yes, even as many anti-war protesters. If Orwelian-1984 war-industrial-complex was suddenly dissolved, in a short time such depression, riots, looting, home-invasions, & eventually cannibalism would break out, the likes of which this planet has never seen. Anti-war protests are as humorous as anti-petroleum protests put on by people who drive cars, paddle plastic-kayaks, & whose majority of what they eat, wear, live in, medicate with, etc. comes from the petrol-industrial-complex.

    “Build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
    ― Buckminster Fuller

    So STOP being offended by ANYTHING, even war, poverty, injustice & greed. Instead synergize-with (join with) like-minded people and build, build, BUILD a new model (profitable PIC = Peace-Industrial-Complex) that makes the existing model obsolete = www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9VexOP9PDg 

    "Inspired people can do much individually,
but can do more with like-minded people."
    ― Donald Watson (1910–2005; founder of Vegan Society)

    “If we really care, individually each of us can make a difference,
but collectively, we can change the world.”
    ― Character Huey Walker in 1990 movie Flashback

    “Peace will happen when
the PIC (PEACE-INDUSTRIAL-COMPLEX) OUT-COMPETES
the MIC (Military-Industrial-Complex) in profitability.”
    ― Vinnieosophy

FGM (Female-Genital-Mutilation)

I hope you pass this along to all your contacts, and that they do likewise.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Words & words & more words & yet more words about how terrible FGM is & how something ought to be done, perhaps by Feminists who would say & write more & more words & yet more words about how terrible FGM is.

Where's the measurable ACTION showing the strengthening, empowering of women 1 by 10 by 100 by 1,000 by 10,000 by 100,000 by 1,000,000 up to 6,000,000+ and growing?
Oh yeah, SGI-ValueCreation-International-Association.

I am an MFCC psychologist with a double-Master's and yrs of professional experience in counseling, and it is my professional opinion that there is no organization on this planet, at this point in time, more effective at empowering women (& Africans, & LGBT, & minorities, & the-disenfranchised, & the-poor, & the-untouchables, & EVERYONE) than SGI-ValueCreation-International-Association. Most others are just lots of words & more words, or money making bu$ine$$e$ or even skeams. SGI doesn't charge nor guilt-trip anyone into donating. They don't even pass around a collection-plate. Leaders are all volunteers w/o pay. Only in May are members reminded that community-centers, electricity, heating-&-A/C, water-sewer-garbage, etc. need to be paid for by someone. But no one is pressured. All trainings are offered FREE. I have held membership since 28Dec1983, and no one has ever approached me about contributions in all these 31+ years.

Khosi & Jeannine are just 2 African women of the 6,000,000+ women MEASURABLY empowered by SGI. And there are many, MANY such examples in Africa & other places where other women are being held down.
