"FEAR" how it controls us

"Fear" its a loaded word, fear of taking a chance, fear of taking a major risk, fear of the unknown, fear of trusting, fear of changing something that is already comfortable, even if its good or bad, the fear of change, even the fear of success. We can go on and on about a lot of fears that engulf our present society and environment. In First Nations and Non-First Nations circles, a lot would say we have no fear, everything is okay, or everything is just right. Sometimes we even have the fear of talking to one another, who is going to make the move first, who is going to screw up first, or even the main fear of excepting past infractions of history. We talk and advance with each other in a slug like process, we are careful with language and procedure, try to be politically correct. To keep it simple, the safe route is just communicate, believe and understand one another. Take a chance, risk the unknown, change to make it better, and be proud when we can succeed together. Believe in one another, that our actions will be with good intentions, and it will benefit our relationship in the long run. This sounds all good, passionate about an issue or cause, but the true objective is to make the Non-First Nations society somewhat comfortable with the change that is about come. Why, because what First Nations people can do today, a lot of people are going to disagree with it. But, is it illegal or wrong, no, far from it, its defined in legal language, defined in constitutional process, and it governs an aspect of society. The Indian Act, when defined and used in away, it could create an enormous economic environment, create a lot of jobs, boost an economy, and be self sufficient to a society that really needs the boost to change for the better. Its time to start thinking outside the box, and imagine the impossible, we can do it together, we know in most Indian/Aboriginal or First Nations circles, they are looking and wanting change, increase education, increase jobs, and most importantly self reliance. Lets truly stop being afraid of one another, lets move in the right direction. First Nations people can provide a major tax shelter to major corporations of business, in all aspects, not so much alcohol or tobacco. This is funny, these are the products that First Nations are labeled with, relating to addictions. Imagine, creating a business environment that would provide substantial savings, and in turn create substantial profits for all involved, it can be done.
