Episode Transcript
So we've started this brand new podcast on arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net,
Music's Lost History. Not only are we unveiling songs that
you already know and the artists that brought them here,
the thing is, I'm questioning you. Do you know the answer?
Before we share the answer. Yeah, it's called Music's Lost History.
(00:20):
Only on Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E dot net. Enjoy your exploration. When
it's extremely difficult to make up your mind. I mean,
having the power of choice can actually weaken a person's heart.
On this episode, we're going to put focus on making
the choice to eat or pay rent. The roof versus
your gut. Plus, if we've created this war in Iran...
(00:45):
Why aren't we stopping the killing on our own streets
here in the U.S.? My name is Arrow. Life is
a series of choices. Who decides when you're not making
the right choice and is it a fear of things
going wrong? The greatest lessons in life are often lost
inside hidden away attempts and concepts. Well, it's time to
reopen your heart. Having that power of choice is actually
(01:06):
your daily gift. On this highway, we're going to learn
how to trust mirages. What is the choice? How about
making that choice to eat or to pay rent? What
happens when you can't do both? Well, you got to
know in your present day heart that we're experiencing something
today with such decision makings that it really is truly
(01:28):
just another page in Americana. When you're facing that question
of having to eat or put a roof over your head,
mental health experts call that a housing insecurity as well
as a food insecurity. It's one of the clearest signs
of financial hardship. The constant pressure can lead to chronic stress, anxiety, depression,
(01:48):
and feelings of hopelessness. This is when most people turn
to food banks, government assistance, and churches. I mean, listen,
this doesn't just happen to the unemployed. Even those with
full-time status have to make impossible choices to eat or
pay rent. Both are hitting average people pretty freaking hard
(02:09):
these days because of our living expenses. It's out of control.
So is the U.S. headed toward darker seasons of forced change?
That answer kind of rests on how we react standing
here in such an unpredictable situation. Freaking out is not
the answer. It's extremely difficult to unveil any type of
(02:32):
information that clearly projects a greater, darker time in the U.S.
The future can only be shaped by our communities and
how each of us responds in this situation. Hey, coming
up next... If a major country, the U.S., is dropping
bombs on another country, then why aren't they doing anything
(02:53):
about the war on their own streets? Hey, thanks for
coming back to The Choice. If a major country has
taken it upon themselves to choose to bomb another nation,
do they have the right to stop the crime on
their own streets? Oh, yeah. We're causing war, the United States.
(03:14):
We're also disliking our own disruptions on these streets of America.
What is the difference? The reality is two completely different issues.
That I didn't know. Millions of Americans see actions as
being authentic contradictions. How can a government wage war overseas
and struggle to stop the violence on our own streets
(03:37):
here in the United States? In principle, yeah, a country
such as the U.S. has both authority and responsibility to
address its own violence, regardless of what kind of mess
they're actually doing outside our borders. Priorities need to be balanced.
It's a matter of public debate rather than scattered legal principles. But, but, but, but...
(03:59):
How can a government brag about being peaceful when both
fronts are costing lives? We've got to listen to how
we're reacting. It's violence. They claim that it's legitimate and
violence that's considered criminal. I mean, look at what's happened
in our past. Thomas Hobbes, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr.
They all arrived at different conclusions. If taking a life
(04:23):
is wrong, why are we bombing Iran? There's no universal
answer here. Everyday people such as ourselves, we challenge the system,
but are any of us drawing a line in the sand?
It is a choice. I'm Errol, and that's what I
was writing while the sun was waking up on a
(04:45):
brilliant new day.
