It’s All His Fault, But He’s Walking from Canada to Mexico to Help Fix It
It’s easy to point fingers at everyone else you think is to blame for the ills of the world, but it takes some guts to be able admit to your own culpability, and to recognize that the way you live your life might, in part, be responsible for those same issues.
Jordan Phoenix is one of those gutsy people, and when he did a bit of soul-searching and found that he could admit to his own role in the current state of affairs in the world, and to say to himself that it’s all his fault, he was able to approach solutions to issues such as poverty from a fresh perspective.
Phoenix just published a book, It’s All My Fault: How I Messed Up the World, and Why I Need Your Help to Fix It, in which he tells the story of his own journey to find answers to some of the many serious issues facing people all over the world.
“In developing countries, people are getting sick and dying because of a lack of food and resources. In developed countries, people are getting sick and dying because of the consumption of excessive amounts of food and resources. Something is very wrong with this picture. It’s time for us to create a new paradigm that incorporates the interests of all global citizens.” – Phoenix
Along with Phoenix’ personal story, the book also includes details about a framework of ideas that could serve as possible roadmaps for taking on and solving major global issues, such as poverty, underemployment, and homelessness, by applying innovative solutions for the good of all.
According to an email from the author, the book details “a blueprint for how we can utilize technology and crowdfunding to rebuild the downtrodden cities of our world,” and to help build grassroots support for his ideas, he’s walking from Canada to Mexico this summer, speaking about the ideas to people in the cities he passes through.
Phoenix is leaving Vancouver in July, and walking down the west coast of North America, passing through cities like Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, ending up at Tijuana, with the intent of sparking grassroots projects which can be used to address poverty and homelessness in a meaningful way along the journey.
“It’s obvious that we can no longer afford to wait around for some savior to come along and fix all of our problems for us. If we want to live up to our highest collective potential, if we want the world to change, we’re going to have to do it ourselves. It’s All My Faultcordially invites you to join Mr. Phoenix on a bold journey that has the potential to become one of the most electrifying social action objectives of this generation.”
