Noble Nobel


The truth for today is about the Nobel prize. It is seemingly awarded to someone who has made a signigicant contribution to the world at large in some positive manner. Admirable I agree but that is not my focus. I mean yes, surely it is at the discretion of the Nobel committee to nominate and so on someone who fits their criteria and then the award is given but…. I wonder about that.

I am reminded of a part in The Matrix  Reloaded about programs- Loosely paraphrased it states something to the effect that the programs truly doing their jobs well, you never hear of. And that gets me to think about contributions to humanity. The people behind the scenes such as teachers, eccentric uncles, bizzare aunts and mothers. No offence to the other behind-the-sceners not mentioned. There are millions of people out there who go into making that Nobel winner great, that didn’t really affect the world at large directly but did so through what they imparted on this world changer.

As I conceded earlier, the Nobel committee is at their own discretion, if we want to award a prize to every do gooder we would need more than one, and more than a day and at the end of it all we would probably give the prize to everybody, because everyone affects someone in some significant way. Hold that thought. Why don’t we do that? We have a day in a year for all sorts of individuals and events, don’t get me started on 420 but why not have a day were everyone is appreciated. We could call it human day or something. Free drinks and food for everyone, invite a homeless man in, no murders and crimes on that day, no broadcasted news that’s negative. How good could that one day be.

Why must we only acknowledge greatness once a year and only of an individual. Why not everyone at least and maybe we could turn it into a week long thing. Just a thought. If you’re interested in forming a new committee to that end, ask me sometime. Truth, Oneness, Peace. Love.
