Transitioning


I try to see the thing behind the thing....I try to see relationship between different things.. I don't presume to know the answers ...I just think I have a better understanding of the questions.

In the history of human development... the necessity of survival has given way to making A better life..
Humans are the top dogs.. and top dogs tend to think that way.

Never in human history has humanity been confronted by dual threats..That at their base, exposes our humanity..From what it was to what it has become..
This exposes out failure as top dogs.

It may seems like worlds apart.. but this pandemic and climate change are the tell tale signs of a developed human behavior, that will need to destroy our past development, to be able to survive it.

The uncommonality of human behavior as it relates to climate change and this pandemic, will decide our future. I don't have a clue as what this will ultimately do..but I am certain it will do something

I am certain.. there will be a transition..Human ideas of freedom will change....the current generation and past generations will not be able to recognize future generations.. They will certainly wonder how it could have ever happened..How those generations could have "LET" it happen..
History will be kind to our generation, explaining how great it was then...But not me..

We say it.. but don't believe it.... WE create the world for future generations.
Never in our history has that creation held more importance...and never are we failing so miserably. Things we use to see as world changing.. Egyptians, Romans, Nazi's communism and nationalism, Trumpism and Liberalism, and even America ....All was a made up fear, as each was not survivable.
Temporary shit...but not now... this shit is permanent. This shit, has no agenda, but the destruction of humanity

Certainly, I am more negative than positive.. from what I see, the chances of our getting it right...Will be too little .. too late.

As we fight about the pandemic, climate change, healthcare, racism, government, religion, nationalism, patriotism, voting rights, spending, taxation, and the Left and the Right
We are living in the past, and not preparing for a future.
We are NOT teaching our well.. to prepare them for a future that will leave our past behind.

My greatest disappointment is not those that create the problem.. but those trying to solve the problem..
History should tell us...no matter what the right thing is.. you can't push people into it.
You got to pull people into it.
You should never have to tell people what the right thing is..
because telling them is the wrong thing

Somewhere perhaps not so far away in the future----the worlds way of supporting the population will have to change away from jobs & employers.

Native American Indians had a tribal system where everyone shared different duties and then EVERYONE shared the bounty or that Is how I understand it.

Corruption is the downfall of the U.S. It has slowly become the norm by law.
Party On!

My negativism towards this.. weighs heavily on me. It pisses me off..as everybody deals with the inane issues of the day.. As our destruction looms on the horizon..
This pandemic.....was God sent.. It was the wake up call.. yet we are still sleepwalking... trying to succeed by pushing people...when pushing people has always been an anti-solution..
It's a stink.. that's all around me. You can't push people and not expect a negative reaction.. So the question is how do you pull people in? How do you pull people into their commonality, they don't want to see.. How do you pull people into the idea that individual freedom works against the common good. How do you get people to see themselves as part of the whole..as opposed to the whole part?

People are alarmed a 620,000 death in America from Covid....

What people don't see, is compared to what the future holds, it's a drop in the bucket.

Where we are headed..... is that the wrong people are going to have to die ..
so the RIGHT people can live.

Well, as much as I disagree with the Left.. as to how they operate..their specific and unyielding agenda. And their NEED to PUSH it

What I say now is F*ck the Right people.. Let them die for their convictions.

From taking children from their parent.. to deportation and immigration, from voter suppression to changing voting rights.. From their racism to their authoritarianism. From protecting their wealth to not protecting our health, From their corruption and lies to their conspiracy accusations.. From their guns don't kill people to people kill people..

The fricken writing is on the wall....You're going to have to die.. so they can live the way they want..

But Covid and the unvaccinated..has shown the way..
Let the f*ckers die. Let them reap what they sow.

Herd immunity...was an idea of the Right .. to let it happen at a time we all were at risk..and the ones they were against were the Most at risk

Well things have changed.. they don't talk about herd immunity anymore

Because , Now, herd immunity ...Will only cull from the herd...the RIGHT people

It is like a person with an addiction.
The person must completely bottom out before recovery can begin.
Our country is progressing toward the need of a do over.

The financial system is the problem & people are arguing about getting stuck with a needle which keeps the proletariat from thinking about bigger fish. We always go from one distraction to another & the capitalist corporate congress plays it to the hilt.
Party On!

I have the covid thing boiled down to one thing a guy said recently.
If a person refuses to be vaccinated for covid they will surely get it.
Then they go from there. They made their choice.
Seems like there was a song years ago LOL
Don't come crying to me when it's over.
Party On!

I've never been a quitter or afraid of change. Life is an interim arrangement. The first time I stood on the Continental Divide I realized that when you think you've seen it all suddenly it becomes quite evident that you haven't seen as much as you thought you had. It just made me want to roll up my sleeves and get to work. But there's a lot of rocks out there.

Yes,,, knowing what you don't know..It's an epiphany..
Can be scary at first..That you know so little.

but the lesson to learn, to roll up your sleeve... and get at it..

That. if solutions can come from what you already know.. there would be no problem.
Solutions can only be found... by finding out that which you don't know.

Maybe the "Great Divide" was trying to tell you that.
