Does reality just exist as information - only coming into being as the need arises? Kind of like when one is driving during one of these games - the information exists for the surrounding environment, but it only appears as one reaches the point of needing to see it.
Is this one of those if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound things? I prefer to think about it that information is always around it's just if we choose to focus on it. It's like when you want a car and then you notice it all the time, but they have always been around you.
UBJ - I don't know what prayer is to tell you the truth. I think there are a lot of things that have always been here floating around and it's up to you to focus on them. Right now you can look at the nail on your thumb but it's always been there and if there was a scratch on it only now did you look at it.
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs; "We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem; "...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression; "Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)

@ FreeMan - So, is THAT how prayer works?
