I’ve noticed that some of the things in the world that are truly trying to push against corruption, destruction and laziness are exactly the things that get the worst reputations. This is an added difficulty, and one that seems at this point in our history inherent in the struggle to uphold value and forward movement for all. It’s so sad that some of the closest people to me, out of what I assume roots in a deep seated and perhaps less-than-conscious fear, decide that what I’m pushing for is somehow unethical and undesirable, and that their current standards are sustainable.
I believe the reality is that we are all contributors in the state of our world, and one need not look very far to see that our world is not in a very good way.
This is what I wish I could struggle against. Unfortunately, I struggle against those very people whom I love instead, efforting to help them get what they really want most, and don’t see that they themselves are holding back.

mmm and often it’s those closest to us – their support / opinion that matter the most to us..
it’s the same story for anyone who has done anything worthwhile..
I am curious, if you would share..
what changes / values are you trying to push for exactly? and what are the reasons those around you have in resisting this?
Can you give some examples of these things that are trying to push against corruption, destruction, and laziness that are getting the worst reputations?
i agree with you mark and with joe…often people who are close to us too do have worthwhile and meaningful lives…and i do guess it is about values and upbringing…like for many people their upbringing usually tells people who they are and what they’d expect…
hey mark, i was just on youtube and came across a clip of you. It really inspires me knowing you have the same last name as you. Ive never met another Hildreth before. Anyways i live in Victoria,BC and would love to see you play. e-mail me back and we can chat!
