IN OTHER WORLDS 1 b

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 IN OTHER WORLDS 1b Or "curb your enthusiasm". How was your day? I had some good news, will talk about it later. A fee days ago, I had pasted a meme about swimming in a pool with dead body, as opposed to swimming in the ocean with a possibility of many dead bodies, I had said it sounded different if we look at it from a philosophical point of view. We tend to, learn to ignore many things, and sometimes the truth is among those many things. True that we ignore the "known" fact that there may be many, may be even thousands of dead bodies in the ocean, we choose to ignore that reality for our person comfort. If there is murder next door we act differently than if they are reporting say a tornado with tens of deaths in a neighboring town, which is always different than if the tornado happens a few states away. Isn't it the same about wars? I posted a story about an inmate dying of heat in a prison, there was atleast one "so what" response, predictable. We are upset at our government about the high cost of food, but we ignore the fact that due to the same war "that we started" and are supporting there are millions facing starvation in Africa and South Asia, so what? Right. It is just like that body in the pool. We like to stay in our comfort zone. It is called "human nature". I am not trying to make you feel guilty, not trying to make you change your mind, I am saying that I understand. We are simple people, us humans that is, and half of us are "below average", we are easy marks, once we understand that, internalize that fact, we can start to make progress. Yet to think that we are all alike and that the super rich can save us or only want the best ( or atleast what is good) for us, is a falsehood. The only people that think like us are the ones we surround ourselves with or we are surrounded by, I am sure that Biden, or Trump, Obama or Musk do not, can not think like you or I , or even think about you and I. What keeps you up at night is not what keeps Bill Gates up at night, we are not living in the same world. Going back for a minute to what the world will be like in 10 or 20 years, you and I can not imagine, but it will not be like the 1960s, it will not even be like 1990s or 1920s. It is just not possible, no matter what you are told and by whom. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 16 DECEMBER 2022
