When most of us hear someone (or something), knocking on our door, our first response is ask who it is, or to simply open it. I sometimes don’t respond well to what’s knocking.

Most times I’ll answer my door, but there is about 10% of the time when I will refuse to answer, or pretend I’m not home.

Or not hear the knocking.

Life situations like this are hard to gauge because it might be some opportunity knocking that we really need.

Example: There are some people who see the world-wide Occupy World Street movement as a nuisance. Or worse, that it’s something not serious, something that bares little attention.

When I look at the OWS movement I see opportunity – and a symptom that something is wrong.

The opportunity is in the chance that if people as individuals and as a group can answer that knocking with solutions of change, allowing more economic empowerment for the average citizen or poor person, then everyone can prosper.

Hey, You People.

Yeah, you guys know who you are,(Wall Street).

You guys that won’t answer the door.

What are you afraid of?

That knocking on the door is like the knocking in a car engine. You might have noticed something like a light go on on your dashboard but thought nothing of it….until a piston shoots through your hood and you’re dead on the road.

Or just dead.

So, what I’m trying say?

Symptoms that go ignored are likely to cause greater problems later.

OWS is about economic inequality, the lack of economic opportunity, veterans being dumped on and economic injustice. It’s about many things.

It is also about a world in which the West are in the middle of a debt and finance crisis, a prolonged recession which may go another 2 to 5 years.

It’s about replacing our industrial/middle class jobs that went overseas with building a 21st century industrial base/internet base.

(Internet base? Clue?)

But mainly, it’s about all of us doing nothing, because we won’t answer that door.
