Pride in England

One of the things that makes feel proud of my country is we abolished global slavery. The forced slavery of people is illegal in most of the world because of Britain. 

People like William Wilberforce campaigned in parliament to make it illegal to buy and sell people as slaves and force them to work for free. We opened our mind and decided it is wrong to use people as slaves, all people should have the same rights. When we abolished the slave trade, all nations that were part of the empire inherited the law and automatically declared the trade of slaves as piracy. Then we used our huge navy to intercept slave boats from nations that weren't a part of the British Empire so we blocked slave ships from entering the ports of Brazil. 

In the 17th century, every nation on Earth had a significant slave population, it wasn't just the Portuguese dominated Atlantic slave trade, it was the middle east, Asia and many African nations had their own slave trade. Britain abolished all of that using democracy and our powerful navy. 

The most common payer in Britain is to ask God that his will be done. It looks like the prayer was answered because although there is still a lot of illegal slavery, the world at large condemns it.

Aluminum​ and Slavery

There is a pattern emerging in my awareness. It could be a coincidence but I don't think so, this is what I think...

In the 1820s, the Atlantic Slave trade was abolished, about 200 years ago. In the same decade scientists found a way to free Aluminium from Alum stone. And Aluminium was sampled for the first time in human  history.  It was as if enlightenment was changing people's outlook on life. When communities looked at the world differently they let go of hate and racism more. It was in the same decade that the industrial revolution started.

I am experiencing a similar effect. When news articles report hate I reject it and look at all people on Earth as my brothers and sisters. I have no hate for them. The question is, will Alan be freed from his Alum and shine his  chrome thoughts with pride to the world? Will the slavery of working all day to pay bills be replaced with freedom to work how I want? I reach out my hand and have hope. I can feel positive change heading my way.

The want prosperity and I have no hate in me. When I was younger I had hate because I reacted to negative media. Now I don't. I just reach out for progress and prosperity. I deserve it and I want it.

I am thankful in advance for increased prosperity and I will have it now. That is not wishful thinking. It is a breakthrough that I must have, and I feel it. The vision is there.
