Everybody’s got to learn sometime

Quote: Learning never exhausts the mind – Leonardo Da Vinci

Everybody’s got to learn sometime, a powerful and emotional statement, but what is it that we need to learn?

All of us have our own learning journey, however if one is referring to recent world events I would be inclined to think that the lesson to be learned is accepting the reality that not everybody has peaceful plans like we do but after accepting that, what is the next step?

After hearing the devastating news on the invasion of Ukraine I started sharing immediately on social media, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Youtube, you name it. Sharing the sad stories but also the inspirational ones, however disturbingly through my scrolling I came across so many doomsday posts especially on facebook, such as the beginning of WW3, the effects of nuclear war with no real positive solutions just that if it happens just a single clear message “There is nothing you or I can do about it” .

This is also the same with Climate Change, as I live in Brisbane, Qld, Australia, you may have heard that we have more or less have experienced if not worse the 2011 floods again, I’m presuming these will be called the 2022 floods, were not that original with the dramas down here, down under to my international readers.

Me personally I was affected in the sense that my study for which I am typing this blog was inundated through a leaky windowsill and suffered the effects of a smelly carpet and smelly bleach, took a lot of airing out and similar story with my garage and I was cut off from my Full time job in the city, however no where near as damaging as lot of people in SEQ & Northern NSW have experienced and my heart goes out and of course will donate and help where I can.

Having seen the horrific scenes in Lismore NSW of people in tinnies(small Australian tin boat) was nothing that I have seen from Northern NSW before or can recall. However some people have said 1 in a 1000 year flood, well all I can say to that is that these 1 in a whatever’s seem to be happening more often than not…… there how is that for being subtle. Climate change in my firm opinion is definitely what is happening here, denying it, is STUPID…..BUT DOOMSDAY POSTING IS IGNORANT.

One might may say that Nuclear War will never happen, sadly from what I know of humans I no longer share that comfort, you will notice just recently Russia shelled a Nuclear power plant, its contained for now, but you have to ask yourself why?

What is the reasoning behind this, if you want Ukraine as part of Russia where is the intelligence in trying to blow up a Nuclear power plant, just invade the Ukraine like you are doing. Some people just don’t have empathy therefore don’t have reasoning, VP(Vladimir Putin) is in that category.

People have also posted that Climate Change is the end of the world and if we don’t do something now, its all over. I’m inclined to think we have already gone past that point judging from the many recent climate events we have had just here in Australia in the last 10 years.

We need solutions NOW! I don’t believe for one second that the world is going to blow up or that we face extinction, but we do need to ask ourselves in this current time, What are we going to do in the event of a NUCLEAR WAR and how are we going to handle CLIMATE CHANGE?

In the event of a Nuclear war we will have to try and survive the Nuclear winter, doing a lot of googling, the information I have found is that after several bombs have hit, the mushroom clouds will bring up 1M tonnes of debris(dirt matter) that will envelope the earth and block out the sun which of course generates life. Because there is so much dirt matter it will stay in the atmosphere for a certain amount of years, some say 10, some say 20.

Let’s unpack this doomsday scenario, humans have been breaking down dirt matter, such as pollution, even dirt on our clothes in our homes and businesses for years, we deal with dirt matter everyday. Obviously the solution is that we find a biological way to breakdown the huge amount of dirt matter that the nuclear winter is going to generate. I am convinced that with all the great advances we have made in the last 2 centruries we can find a way to achieve this. Its on a huge scale that’s true but we can do it! After this then concentrate on revitalising radioactive areas.

Climate change means more climate and environmental disasters than what we are used to, I can think of 3 things that would be needed, a National Insurance and economic payment system, Weather accurate prediction modelling along with a national communication setup and a National Emergency Response Service. Australia more or less has these things, but there certainly needs to be more emphasis and funding in these key areas and when you buy or rent a property you are given a risk assessment of what dangers you could face, there would be no such property that doesn’t have risks but at least as a resident you have the knowledge.

Did you know that you have a higher power?

Quote: No one has proof that I know of, that a higher power exists, yet a major portion of the world believes in it and relies on it in faith in trust, in what that is. Where is the science in that? And yet you have incredible belief in that.

Sandra Bullock

What is our higher power? Good question, when we think of a higher power we tend to believe in a power higher than ourselves, I’m inclined to believe that our higher power is when we choose to focus on what’s happening and do what’s needed as opposed to what is it that I am feeling.

Feelings are fine and it’s important to acknowledge them, however at the end of the day it’s important to focus on what we want to achieve and what are the long term benefits of that not only for ourselves but others.

When we enter a world of feelings only we then enter a world of tribalism, where it is more important to ask who is your tribe and how does that tribe make me feel as opposed to what they stand for, for example a westerner may find a half naked Amazonian or African tribe confronting but they may offer solutions to agriculture and climate change and this is where we need to look past our feelings.

Politics can be very tribal and judgemental and it’s important to realise that all of the issues we are facing a more than a feeling and we have higher power within ourselves, some examples where people have looked past feeling and moved forward with great solutions would be the great green wall of Africa and hemp and other natural resources replacing plastics, so many solutions but so little discussion on them in mainstream media.

I think now more than ever we need to start looking at ideas that build a community for everyone and match the need not only the want. Remember there is not enough room in the universe for all of our thoughts and ideas.

Remembrance and Empathy

Quote: We do not remember days, we remember moments – Ceasare Pavese

The moment the ANZACS landed on the beaches of Gallipoli or charged the front lines of Beersheba on the Australian Lighthorse through to the peacekeeping missions of Vietnam to Middle East. All of these wars, we don’t remember the days per se its more about the moments, be it traumatic or great learning of human behaviour.

Internal conflicts are the hardest, enemy not so clear. Since last update I have come across some other important things to remember and to exercise empathy. When I did the Empathy Tweets broadcast for Easter, I talked about calling on the NT Chief Commissioner to carry out the recommendations made by the Northern Territory Royal Commission instead of taking measures that make it harder for young people to get bail and give police unprecedented powers. You can see the Empathy tweets & Broadcast here https://twitter.com/i/events/1378610072029327360

Fights come in different forms, such as the global fight we are currently waging against COVID 19. There is no country in the world that hasn’t been affected by the pandemic, on the 18^th April the Empathy tweets had a blog from UNICEF telling the story of UNICEF Health workers delivering vaccines to people in Kathmandu in Nepal on foot. See the photos, its extraordinary click here https://twitter.com/i/events/1383658226588160002

Since last blog I have tweeted about Climate Change and petitions shouting for equality and social justice.

Why is it that everybody wants to rule the world?

Imagination rules the world – Napoleon Bonaparte

It would be fair to say that everybody believes their idea of solving a problem is the best idea or worst the only idea. I find when people seriously insist upon rule, they do so with an agenda in mind, sometimes this works out for the people, sometimes it doesn’t.   

Since last update there have been new issues to discuss such as Myanmar, March 4 Justice and Climate change events. One of the tweets that received a mention in my Empathy tweets broadcast was regarding Myanmar, the dreadful atrocities that are occurring there, the reason I mention this is because it ain’t the first time this country has gone into Military rule, deeply troubling.

I often wonder how do people get locked into such a negative pattern of thinking, that they would act so aggressively and dismiss basic democracy and human rights. If you are on the positive side of the argument and you are willing navigate through to the win win solutions, I would say to you consider the agenda of your opponent, read that person, what are they all about? what are they getting out of this? There must be a pay off of some kind.

When you discover what that is you are half way there, the same logic also applies not just to developing countries but to 1^st world countries such as Australia. Recently in Australia we had the March for Justice, a rally demonstrating the accountability of high office and protection in particular for female public servant workers in the Canberra bubble as it is called. Australia does not have an accountability office e.g Crime Commission or watchdog authority over Federal Politicians and there seriously needs to be one, what prompted this outrage was an Attorney general on rape accusations refusing to clear his name with an enquiry in order to maintain trust in office and another rape allegation in the parliament building along with some other less known offences. By having a federal authority responsible for oversight, there will be no need for protesting.  

Sad as it is the message of Climate Change just doesn’t seem to be getting through, even though we have one dreadful climate event after another, the dreadful fires of 2020 and now the floods of 2021, there are still companies and governments dragging their feet on Climate Change. I guess the best thing we can do is use our imaginations for solutions and our perseverance to make them happen.  

Since last blog I have tweeted about Climate Change and petitions shouting for equality and social justice.

Empathy Winners(Special VLOG Update)

G day everybody, I’m here streaming from the Gold Coast today, having a little getaway treat for myself after recovering from a fractured ankle.

While I have been recovering I have been giving some serious thought to the Basicozbizinfo Empathy Winners, it’s time now to get serious on this campaign

I’m so excited to start choosing empathy winners not just on Twitter but right across the Basicozbizinfo networks.

First let’s talk about empathy, what does empathy mean to you, let me tell you what it means to me. Having an understanding and respect of how another person feels or at the very least try to understand that feeling.

Basicozbizinfo Empathy Winners are the followers who inspire people to be their best. Basicozbizinfo inspires people to find new beginnings through empathy and opportunity, obviously empathy winners excel at this.

Life is hard, not everybody has had a good beginning and knows the abundance of opportunities that are out there and know how to embrace them.

One thing I have learnt is that you can’t do everything in this life by yourself, you will need the help and empathy of others. You can’t do it, I can’t do it, nobody can do it, everything completely on your own, if you think you can, I’m inclined to say your mistaken or your lying.

Nor would the universe expect us to, this is where Basicozbizinfo and the Empathy Winners comes in. Basicozbizinfo provides the catalogues, the blog, newsletter and new beginnings and opportunities however the Empathy winners make it all more special, without them there is no Basicozbizinfo, so they deserve something special and you can see what special benefits they receive by visiting Empathy TV on the Basicozbizinfo website.

Just on closing there is one thing I want to add. If you are to succeed and not to be disheartened by the challenges you face in life, persistence is omnipotent, a great or unlimited power. I have found this ring true for me on more than a few occasions, people can be very passive aggressive or should I say aggressive, the passive aggressive are still aggressive they are just not stupid enough to do it to your face.

What I am saying is, if you feel you haven’t succeeded in life because your home or family doesn’t meet your reasonable expectations or perhaps your in a job or club where you don’t fit into the culture and you try and try to get people to like you.

Don’t ever feel you have failed, you are simply going along your life path, what one needs to do is ask themselves what is it that makes ME happy and MAKE THAT DREAM OR GOAL HAPPEN with everything you have, every bit of energy you can muster and always make sure, is what I am doing improving and am I improving in some way and run that very race as fast as you can and if you are doing that you have already won against your aggressor.

Remember this. The hungry never get fed.

See you next week for Empathy tweets and enjoy the view.😊

Are you a winner of empathy?

Quote: If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride – and never quit, you will be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards. Bear Bryant

Absolutely! I like to think we all are one way or another. An empathy winner inspire others to be their best through opportunity & empathy. Since last update I have comes across some amazing and inspiring people and ideas.

A brilliant idea that creates a greenhouse like environment for plants and is made from recycled plastic waste. The Agrodome is made from PET, sourced from recycled plastic bottles. The bottles are cleaned, pulverized, and remoulded into domes, which help nurture plants by creating perfect conditions for plant growth.

This greenhouse-mimicking dome helps harvest rainwater and foster sapling-growth #conservation #greenhouse https://t.co/HLkBdE9DHp

An inspiring person called Gustavo was blinded after he was shot by the police during a protest in Chile. From the Amnesty international website, On the 8th November, Gustavo Gatica, a 21-year-old student joined the protests. Police fired into the crowds, and Gustavo was shot in both eyes.

He was blinded permanently. Even after enduring these injuries, Gustavo hopes that his blindness will help the world see what is happening in Chile; “I gave my eyes so people would wake up.”

Say Something

“Preach not because you have to say something, but because you have something to say.” By Richard Whately

Question! When does our fear of safety become more important than our rights? Or perhaps a better question is WHY do we need to sacrifice our rights for fear?

Closed secret trials. Raids on journalists. Whistle-blowers and their lawyers facing prison time.

Are these the issues we like to see from our news sources all because of this fear of the unknown? Another question! Who is really afraid, us the people with fears of being attacked OR old power(traditional media, monarch states, states with outdated democratic models etc) being overtaken by new power(social media, instant communication between people & govt, progressive & inclusive groups etc)?

In Australia we have had a fear driven politics filled with drama and high alerts, be it China, Terrorism or the Economy and this kind of rhetoric has lead to proposals that cause an erosion of rights.

It doesn’t matter what crisis you face or choose to use as an example but you will find that fear is only used as a natural alert for yourself after that you move into fight or flight and start thinking of ways to resolve what you are facing. For example, when Australia had the bushfire tragedy at the beginning of the year due to Climate Change, immediately people were talking about solutions to prevent this from happening again, even a call on fire authorities to investigate personal fireproof bunkers. The CSIRO investigated six cases in Victoria where people survived in accredited purpose-built bunkers.

So why aren’t we talking about solutions that protect our rights but protect us as well instead of just proposing more heavy legislation. Click here

Below is a couple of examples of key areas where Australians need to say something and be heard.

Destruction of culturally significant indigenous sites- Click here

Raise the Age – NT 43 times higher the rate of youth indigenous incarceration compared to non-indigenous. Click here

Do we need to create a New Democracy?

The answer to this question, would be YES and URGENTLY. Take into consideration the current political agenda, Climate Change, growing inequality, corrupt lobbying, govt bullying and thieving from its population.

Recently I sent a tweet asking Twitter and Pauline Hanson(Australian Senator) to remove a violent video tweet of a taxpayer funded senator waving a Cattle Prod and suggesting that the Qld Police use this weapon like object on Climate Change Protestors in Brisbane who are rightfully protesting against the unnecessary Adani Coal Mine(click here).

Putting aside the logic of no new coal mines, only renewable projects for domestic or export use is the only acceptable policy in the 21^st Century. What concerns me the most is that a Senator feels its her role to threaten members of the public she disagrees with either for political point scoring or TV time, instead of reviewing legislation sent from the House of Representatives which is what every senator is paid to do under the constitution. For the record Twitter removed the tweet, thank you Twitter.

While on the subject of renewable energy and of course Climate Change, no doubt you have heard of the Amazon Fires, this is a good example of an ignorant lobbying interest in the face of global warming, the interest of land clearing and development taking a higher priority than the welfare of the world’s largest rainforest or more commonly known as the worlds lungs, you can sign the petition here.

Witness K is the whistle-blower who released information regarding a past Australian Government misusing ASIO powers to spy on another nation, Timor Leste, in order to obtain an advantage in negotiations. Witness K is now being charged for misusing govt information for the release which of course isn’t in the spirit of the law’s intention. Sign the petition of support, click here.

The horror and sad stories regarding Robodebt or should be just simply be called corrupt political govt fraud. The purpose behind Robodebt has been proven as a means for the govt to achieve surplus and doing it on the back of society’s most vulnerable, the recovery system works on a comparison of your yearly earnings to pension amount claimed against a certain period, as person’s income can change throughout the year, the yearly calculation is irrelevant and is regularly proven wrong and is not legally workable with many cases that are taken to court fail. As a result of this programme, many young people on Homeless Youth Allowance, Newstart and Disability have committed suicide, living on the streets or sacrificing a daily meal for them and their family. Check out the great work Get up is doing with FraudStop click here.

Taking the last paragraphs into consideration, I would be inclined to say these are very relevant arguments for a new transparent democracy is definitely needed. Social Media and Internet is the most powerful people tool created in history, it is time for a discussion on how we can use this magnificent tool as a fairer population management tool.

Have you found Peace in Violence? Lessons in Life.

Welcome to the first blog and update for 2018. Since last update the amazing posts and tweets as always never fail to inspire, there is a song that I heard over the festive season that I found very uplifting, Silence by Marshmellow feat Khalid, made me question whether poverty, the unfair challenges of living in a capitalist society is indeed an act of violence and the perpetrator requires silence, check out the lyric video on EMPATHY TV.

There is so many issues that demonstrate people finding peace in political violence, check out the Weekend Empathy Tweets in my Twitter Moments, the tweets have links to great stories people overcoming bullying through hobby businesses to creating a dictionary for a dying native language in order to preserve it, click here.

Upgrade Your World

I realized EMPATHY TV had been neglected for a little while and I hadn’t added any interesting videos. Looking for inspiration I decided to have a look at some videos that I had liked with the thumbs up. The first one I noticed I had added some time ago and is still in there and that is superheroes by The Script, such an amazing video and song about a father who collects rubbish for a living and goes to work in a suit and tie so not shame his daughter, another one and I hadn’t added was by Oprah, a show she did a few years ago but still very relevant.

A lady said she had a light bulb moment about something that always stayed in her mind and that was her Dad had told her quite bluntly “Your’e getting fat aren’t you?” Not a very helpful and considerate question. Oprah replied “In situations like this and conflict I always ask myself “What does this mean?” “What is this situation trying to tell us?” By doing this we can make steps to improve our lives instead of dwelling on the negative commentary of another.

Another word for improvement is upgrade, another video I liked and added to the playlist was a cute little video from Windows 10, showing how we can upgrade our world including those in developing countries and shows how the latest windows software helps in their everyday lives like beginning businesses, getting water, making infrastructure, truly fantastic. I think we can all learn how to upgrade our worlds and the worlds of others.

Take care and keep the faith 🙂
