Achieving Serenity

The Crossroad

Love or hate

Daniel and Terry lived on separate sides of the country and did not know one another, however, they were currently experiencing the same emotions and becoming a seemingly identical person. A popular and controversial firm was growing viral and coincidentally both began watching it at the same time.

The film was called "The Zeitgeist" and introduced both Daniel and Terry to an alternate, eye-opening way of seeing the world. It was the first bit of content that either has seen which suggested there could be more to the stories you've been told on the news. Both were brought up in a fairly religious upbringing and were shocked at some of the borderline blasphemous information that was being conveyed. At the same time, they could both feel light bulbs going off and dots connecting by the thousands. The whole concept of conspiracies drove both of them to undergo hours on end of research surrounding questionable tragic events in the country. After two months of being "woke", both Daniel and Terry are angry and frustrated.

They want everyone to be able to know what's going on, and they want change. The country is in turmoil and we are all so divided- surely there is something that Daniel and Terry can do to alleviate this atrocity. If anything, merely sharing the word with others can be helpful, because they understand that if a change is to happen, it must be desired by and achieved by multiples of people.

What is the answer? How do I get the Elite to stop shoving their agenda down every bit of media the population consumes? Everywhere I look- every corporation, every event causing massive ambiguity, the whole way the news is keeping us divided- it can all be traced back to George Soros and the terrible Powers That Be. What can I do to stop them? What can we do?

These questions drove incessantly at the minds of Daniel and Terry as they continued to preach sermons to friends and family. It appeared in their journeys since watching the Zeitgeist they were almost the same American- until one day when they reached a crossroad.

Daniel started to do more analytical research on why the way the world is today. He arrives at the solution that some races are smarter than others, and the country is getting too tolerable over equality. We are not equal- we will never be equal- and we cannot approach problems with the assumption that we are. We cannot continue to allow a gay/transsexual lifestyle to thrive in our communities, as it damages the sacrosanct that is a strong family unit. People need to be strong and recognize what is best for our country.

Terry sees the undeniable greed that runs this world and sees acts in the newspaper that make him feel displeased about the outcome of the future. However, he grows tired of his hopeless efforts to wake people as he sees that people are usually too busy or already have their minds made up to pay any mind to him. He comes to a realization that all people are doing their best, and though we have tremendous room for improvement, there is still so much irrefutable love in this world that creates hope and restores faith in humanity. Terry, like Daniel, wants for the Elite to stop shoving their agenda down every bit of media the population consumes, but he accepts people for who they truly are. He understands that the problems must be approached with human tendencies in mind, and not to just magically wish for everyone in the world to just change.

Daniel sees the world as it should be, and asserts his anger and vengeance with his every word and behavior. Terry sees the world as it should be, but understands that people are trying their best and he cannot judge them, as he does not know the path and the thinking that led to other people's decisions. Daniel continues research on the ridiculous, hokey signs that he doesn't understand why nobody else sees. He preaches to people with a simple subconscious thought in mind- "why can't you merely think like me?" Daniel is critical of others and focuses in on all the flaws of the world. He goes into journalism to hopefully one day change the world for the better.

Terry sees that the world has some humongous epidemics, but there are also a lot of reasons why life on earth is amazing. He hones in on the great factors of the world and emits love to those he is in contact with. Terry came to the conclusion that if it doesn't work on himself, he would never be in a spot to make the world a better place. Terry wants to understand more about how people think, and use every tool at his disposal to make people feel happier about themselves. He knows that he himself is not perfect, so doesn't feel like he is in a position to constantly call out the world for not being perfect. Terry goes into the field of psychology to hopefully one day change himself for the better.

Daniel and Terry both wanted to make the world a better place. Daniel approached this by fantasizing a better universe and trying to change people. Terry approached this by understanding the nature of people and doing all he can to be an example in his everyday life. Terry came from love, while Daniel came from hate. Terry started by changing himself, while Daniel started by changing the world.
