INTO THE ABYSS 183 A

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 183 A Morality can only be taught by example! Or something like that. From the beginning of man's awareness, of "self" and his surroundings, we have searched for a reason, why we are here, who we are, not everyone though. Most of humanity, even today, spends the life in the mundane. Then we think, some of us do. Not all, we have had seers and philosophers, prophets, preachers, scholors and teachers of all stripe, telling us who we are, why we are here, the purpose of life. Most of are satisfied, not curious, but those that look for a meaning are still searching, still looking, still learning. If asked, most people today will readily say that they "think", that they "care", that they "know", but what? What do we think, what do we care about, what do we know, I mean beyond ourselves, in all regards. If we think about the economy, it only about how we will be affected personally, even then we know we have desires but really no control, if we care, we care only about ourselves and what is happening to us at a very narrow personal level, and what about "knowledge" beyond what "we" like or dislike. Really what? I write. I post, I read comments, and usually the comments are only about personal preferences, not about how even the simplest of things affect the whole country. The whole world. I am not "hopeless". I am aware that life will go on, whether I like the things or not, I know the future. I don't like what I see, but it will be, as we were warned. Not in religious terms. Let's not talk about that, it is too, personal, and I will argue about personal beliefs. Whether climate change is real, whether population control is a possibility. Will the earth will become inhabitable in short order, are we being controlled by the Lizard people, is there a baby eating cabal, are we living in a simulation, will AI take over? All is possible and impossible at the sametime. We are living in denial, our governments, the world over are lying, and those that say they will stand up against oppression are deluding themselves, I am not being pessimistic, I am realistic enough to see beyond the shadows. What I said in 2003 has not changed, everyday we are closer to the inevitable, like it or not, it cannot, will not be changed. Our economic model is a disaster, we all realize that, we complain about it, but we live with it, we talk about how it needs to be changed but we have no alternative, we are stuck. No wonder the politicians on the left or the right are not offering a fix, they are happy to have us fighting amongst ourselves, about abortion, about critical race theory, about school prayer, about whatever. We know and they know that consumption causes pollution, we are polluting the planet, and more consumers means even more pollution, then what? What is the solution? We all want more money so we can consume even more, more money means bigger deficits, bigger deficits cause inflation, inflation causes poverty, lower standards of living, and government borrows even more. But what do you want anyway? You and I want whatever we want and no one better ask us to change anything. What then? Jude 1:16 These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 06 JULY 2022
