A Critical Call to Action: Protecting Vulnerable Populations in Our Digital Age While Pursuing Sustainable Solutions
There is a lot of hearsay about people who are actually brave enough to be out there and are doing the real work.
There are people who do, and then there are people who mock the one's who do. The harsh reality today is that before there is a buzz about someone with caliber creating something an entire squad of professionals is pre-hired to make sure that person is knocked down as soon as the person tries to be brave and work towards their goals.
We have a world emergency for brain drain. If we do not do something about it today, the world will be left to the mocksters and eventually will be left with no intelligent genes in the gene pool.
There is an underlying urgency to save vulnerable people in our society. Women, children, and the elderly. I have been writing and researching about this since 2012. I was intrigued when I read a few horrid articles in my local newspaper.
There are cases that get published, and some are lost in oblivion. The digital advancements in our society are convenient at a cost.
We just cannot lose to people who are using cruel means for personal gain. Spyware, Identity thefts, and Safety breaches all sound redundant ‘daily news content’, which is scarily the crux of the matter.
Enterprises all over the world are trying their very best to crack the code to foolproof safety. The bitter pill to swallow is, we are not ‘foolproof safe yet’.
My genuine hope in this situation is for the one's who are being victimized and are withering away without any trace. My heart sinks when I think about the elderly who get duped because they still believe in the goodness in this world and will believe a scam call to be true. It is saddening, but the truth. Women and children are being exploited. Rogue businesses are flourishing.
In a world where it is so easy to clone a person’s digital life and sabotage their real life, my only hope is that we pull up our socks and make the weaker ones of our society as safe as possible.
Safety starts from home.
For everyone who has followed my work knows that I am working towards sustainable solutions. I really wanted to address the brain drain occurring all over the world besides the sustainable solutions that we can look forward to.
We must save the planet, yes! We must also save our people who will inhabit this planet, too.
I am working on varied and multiple sustainable projects at this time and will continue to contribute to society and the world as long as I can. There are a lot of hurdles an entrepreneur faces; the only reason for me to go on has always been to leave a safe planet for my offspring.
The work we do today can drastically change our future generations. With drastic, I mean they may live or perish, yes, it is that drastic.
We must not succumb to racism, extreme politics, or any other extreme polarized mindsets.
Linearly, methodically, responsibly, with accountability.
Our people, our planet, our home, our mother earth, which feeds you and nurtures you, is in danger, and it needs you! Now!
