Positive change takes time..Keep The Faith-
Hi Forumfolk :),
How perfectly timely to see this great thread (That happens a lot on this forum, has anybody else noticed that?).
I just left my (Almost 80 yo) Mother's home, where we two had a long talk, initiated by her- about the dangers of artificial ingredients and chemical additives, not only in food, but in bodycare products as well.. We even got into chemical fertilizers and farming. Mom had saved up about 7 products to ask me which would be healthiest to use for one of her pets which has a problem..
It hasn't always been this way. It has taken almost 20 years to get my family to come around. I used to get the rolled eyes, now I get questions instead, and people shut up and listen to the answer and think, instead of making a smart-a$$ed crack or arguing.
These days 4 family members use
Colloidal Silver , and 2 of us make it ourselves. I am really the only one who insists on Organic produce, but we have had family discussions on GMOs. 2 of us use Color Therapy, and 2 others of us have Zappers and/or Beck Blood Electrifier units. 2 of us have extensive collections of Heirloom Vegetable seeds, and have made a concerted effort to develop Pioneering skills as a personal adventure. 1 of us (That would be me) is a compounding Herbalist. I am also the Librarian, so far :).
Last weekend during a family gathering, I was caught totally by surprise by my Mother sitting everyone down to make a long speech about recycling, and about how it has become every person's job to help un-trash this Earth, and to be conscious of the long-range effects upon the Planet of whatever we are doing. It turned into a great discussion. All the kids got involved too.
My point is, persist in your message. Don't let someone else's ignorant attitude shut you down. Keep going on your own, and they'll come around when the time comes for them.. Look at this Earth. They're going to have to.
Like the Wise Teacher said:
Every molecule that moves affects the direction of the future.
Keep them molecules moving, so that when everybody else finally catches up, you can show them how to stride..
