What is a soldier of love? When we think of soldiers we think of men and women going off to fight for freedom, democracy and to stand up and liberate those who can’t stand up for themselves. Mostly, we think of soldiers in an almost negative way – death, dying, fighting, conflict and blood. That is not the soldier I want to talk about.
The soldier that I want to talk about is one that is passionate and committed to creating positive change into our world. An advocate for love, for compassion – someone who acts with kindness and without judgment. This type of soldier will do anything for their significant other, they love life, the environment and fight for a cause that does not create conflict but rather diffuse it. A soldier who will resolve to protect the living – whether that is man or animal, without raising a gun.
I believe that most countries engage in conflicts that are in the best interests of corporations who are bought and paid for by our governments. I don’t want to see more soldiers dying for wars that have no positive resolution for the country they are trying to liberate or for our world. Maybe it is time to let countries fight their own battles? Needless to say – I do have the out most respect for those men and women who offer their lives to insure we have the freedoms we do today but I am in no way and advocate for violence and war.
I am a soldier of love – and I want to recruit more soldiers. Soldiers who will not engage in violence and only promote wellness, peace, love and positivity throughout the world. I want a REVOLUTION OF LOVE – a revolution that will not think in the mindset of yesterday and deal with issues that matter for today’s generation and the generations to come. We need a new world community that will not wait for governments to act to create positive change but will evoke that change themselves. We will peacefully demonstrate and advocate for policies and change that will make our world a better place – for the people and not for greedy corporations. This revolution will fight for the protection of our planet – clean water, clean air, natural and nutritional foods that are not genetically modified or coated with pesticides. We will fight to free animals in distress that only know a life of cruelty and violence. We will protect environmentally fragile spaces – the Amazon, the Arctic, the Great Barrier Reef and so many other places around the world that are almost at the point of no return.
The REVOLUTION OF LOVE will not raise a gun but we shall raise our voices for the only thing that matters – THE PLANET because without it, there is nothing else.
How can you become a soldier of love and join this revolution? Here are several suggestions:
- Join or donate to Greenpeace – defenders of our planet against corporate and government greed. www.greenpeace.org
- Join or donate to the protectors of our environment such as the World Wildlife Fund or the David Suzuki Foundation. www.wwf.ca (Canada) or www.wwf.org (international) www.davidsuzuki.org
- Ask companies, churches, financial institutions to divest from ‘dirty oil’ – Get more information at: www.350.org
- Contact your member of parliament and ask them how they have advocated and instilled policies to protect our environment. How are they promoting renewable and sustainable energy? Are they on the side of companies that continue to deplete the earth’s natural resources or are they promoting solar, wind and other cleaner resources? If not – DON’T GIVE THEM YOUR VOTE!
- Educate yourself on climate change – get the facts from reliable sources not corporate media (Greenpeace, WWF, 350.org, PETA and the David Suzuki foundation)
- Get real news and not the corporate sponsored (and censored) news from Fox, NBC, CBC, ABC and CNN – check out www.projectcensored.org or www.jessieventura.com or check out the YouTube channel – Breaking The Set.
