Living in today's world is extremely difficult. It's hard to have and achieve our dreams, in my opinion. It's not that it can't be done, but I think it happens less and less each day.
Hi 😊 I saw your poem Lost (on the hub wall) you are an honest and brave soul to share that... I can relate to the subject and wanted to let you know there are other souls out here in WDC land for support. I belong to a good group of folks who deal with anxiety and depression lol!
The little bit of your blog I read shows that you are smart and have right on perception of life.
Just passing through and will read and review soon.
I just got finished with my last assignment in a course here. It was about showing the characters' emotions rather than just telling. I learned a lot from it!
Good place here and have a blessed day buddy!
I beg to differ, being trapped in this corrupted focus, one has to play by the rules to survive. Thus the bullshit sayings like " To the victor goes the spoils" and " He with the gold makes all the rules." War, though i agree with you is serious human folly, solves who is on top of the pile at the end of the day, even if it is a pile of shit.
I agree love is needed to fix the quandry of the system we have in place to govern, but i would add that that love needs to be tempered by Respect. It's hard to act against a person you respect and you don't have to love them to do so.
We forget. WW1 is forgotten. WW2 is almost forgotten. Numerous wars in the US lead to a numbness with every death. And once numbed we forget.
We barely embrace our fellow humans. We wage war on all other life-forms. In the end... inhumane humanity will be forgotten. Not all creation-stories have happy endings.
Examples come to mind. Observant Jews have hundreds of laws and many spend time obsessing over which ones apply where and when. Switzerland is notorious for rigid laws, as is Singapore.
Simple exhortations like "love thy God, love thyself, love others (especially your enemies)" get drowned out by pedantic nitpickers (example: US Supreme Court).
I agree with ideals and goals in spite of what others pursue or block; but, goals without measurable objectives are abstract and 'squishy'.
One example from my experience... I had a bbq in my garden for 15 years on August 28th for MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech. I invited a wide range of people. Usually 30-80 came. I may never know the impact but it was an act I could measure.
The issue we face is corruption of laws. When you consistently write rules upon rules you warp their intent and over time the effect of the laws are no longer effective.
