Best 14 quotes of Brien Pittman on MyQuotes

Contrary to the ever-fashionable “it is better to blame than receive” mentality, made popular around the same time civilization was born. In general, there really are no convenient scapegoats of devils, demons or metaphorical mental illnesses to fault our individual and collective inability to become more civilized. Humanized. Despite what religion, economics, governments, psychology, advertising, education, Oprah Winfrey and virtually every pop-culture guru edifies - the truth of the matter is - the fault lies firmly in the minds and hearts of human excuses (refusal) to evolve. Evolve mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Take responsibility. Learn, strive to become more human, with access to the higher aspects of human nature. Integrity. Dignity. Pursue a completely opposite reality in direct opposition to the current reality of profit, Self and power. Without getting into a deep discussion of the subject of reality, in really simple terms I understand reality as a form of creation where we can be co-creators. (if we choose to be) Both on a individual level and en masse. For instance, if one universal reality can be created and sustained, say one of unbridled greed, then the laws of nature, science, the universe whatever you choose to call it affirms that: If one dominate reality (one of materialistic greed) can be created, enforced and sustained - so can other realities. Even a diametrically opposed reality. Proof of this is the fact there are currently, and historically have been, human beings living (struggling to live) in that opposite reality! Men and women of all ages and backgrounds existing within a reality which permits, encourages and very importantly supports higher forms of humanity. Higher expressions of our human nature. A civilized form of civilization based on the continual progression of humanization. Not sustained dehumanization in economic/social competition for life. Obviously, this more civilized/humanized type of reality currently exists in minutia within the longstanding ever-devouring reality of materialistic power and greed - which in and of it’s self is a strong testament to the old saying - “Where ever you are. You need to build your own world.” The main take away is: Regardless of how small this more civilized/humanized reality may currently be - it exists! So, the good-news is realities are like cultures. Each uniquely real but not universal. Unless of course your culture is hell-bent on world domination. Establishing only one culture. Theirs!

Corruption, and injustice won’t go away just because you make a lot of noise about it.

Did your parents have any children that weren’t retarded, or were you just repeatedly dropped on your head?

How can anyone say they are a student of life yet, have an aversion to exploring the chronicle of existence; the historical progressions, the development of social constructs that constitute life.

I’m all for real equality for everyone especially, women. In fact, just the other day a female colleague and I came to the conclusion that human history and the current state of the world proves that God is definitely a woman.

It is healthy and wise to believe there exist goodness in humans, it is equally healthy and wise to realize there are monsters in the world pretending to be humans, and these monsters have pretended for so long, they actually believe they are human. Some times it is difficult to distinguish the difference.

Other than devastatingly sad and despicable, what else could be said about life, when life itself has been reduced to two main concerns for existence; how do I make enough money to survive, and how do I make more money?

Our current ever-devouring reality, sustained and perpetuated by our long-standing beliefs of power and profit before all life on earth, is arrogant and unyielding insanity. Here’s why: A reality of unbridled greed and exploitive competition pushes all of humanity to the threshold of insanity by demanding the lowest expression of our human nature in order to simply survive. In short, it dehumanizes us daily. The ones doing the dehumanizing and the ones who are dehumanized - both exist in a less than humane state of consciousness. A dehumanized reality. Which explains why so very often a socially concerned corporate manager, who puts human interests ahead of profit maximization is not praised but quickly joins the ranks of the unemployed. Our being dehumanized daily also explains the blind opportunistic greed of gentrification, our money obsessed life repudiating healthcare system, our continually growing poverty class – ad nauseum. In essence, all of the cruel ways with which we think about and treat one another (and the earth) is encouraged, enforced and repeatedly engendered as the only available dominate reality. Mistakenly, this is believed to be our fundamental human nature or as pseudoscience explains it “survival of the fittest” and as religion teaches “we are all born sinful.” Which in turn engenders, in every generation, the belief that it is virtually impossible for humans to be more humanized, more civilized. The propagated belief that humans are hopelessly hard-wired; created to be nothing more than sinful, wicked little hairless monkeys continues century after century; and so we have remained for the last eleven thousand years a pseudo civilization. “Not until the creation and maintenance of decent conditions of life for all people are recognized and accepted as a common obligation of all people and all countries - not until then shall we, with a certain degree of justification, be able to speak of humankind as civilized.” Albert Einstein Our entire social stratification of wealth, income, race, social competition, education, and power - from birth to death - is constantly reiterated into our conscious and unconscious minds as Normal. Civilized. The Dominant Reality. For instance, our antagonistic competition for life is plainly evident when opposing groups or cultural realities come into contact or collide with the realities of other individuals, other groups, societies, and cultures. All of which are equally real realities to each other - even the illusionary realities – even the oppressive ones - but our existing in a dehumanized state more often than not separates us from one simple humane quality and ultimate realization: The lives of other human beings.

The very worst aspect of poverty in the United States is the realization that - No one gives a shit whether you live or die. The federal government, the state government couldn't care less. They're busy maintaining the status quo, and poverty is a big part of the economic balancing act. Hell, the economy would collapse if poverty was solved. The medical and health insurance industries; if they can't make any money off of you you're already dead to them. They couldn't care one iota if you live a life of physical pain and suffering. And the citizens' hmmph, they're too busy stepping all over one another trying to avoid poverty. What an insult and spit in the face of humanity to call all of this insanity civilized.
