I felt his frustration, it felt like my own frustration. For the past few years I have been on the verge of giving up on humanity. I have always dreamed of humanity evolving into an “utopian” type society. When I was a teenager, I thought for sure by the year 2000 we would be traveling the stars (treky fan). I find “money” disgusting because of the greed and violence we allow it to create. I have allowed the negativity of humanity to overwhelm me; Alex reminded me that in fact I should have been concentrating on humanity at its best. It’s difficult, especially when the greed and violence seems to be increasing, but I will work on that. I am stunned that his video/speech had such an impact on me.

You can sense and feel his humbleness and extreme sensitivity. There is so much pain knowing that things are not they way they should be. We as a species have so much more power and we chose not to use it or take personal responsibility. I too am sad because we have so much to offer. We must break free from this illusion. We must raise our consciousness and be a beacon for others. They're will be a critical mass reached at some point. It will become easier and easier as more people focus on positive change. Don't give up on humanity. There are many people out there just like you who wish to make everything better.
