The best of us, the worst of us

one can but wonder at the changes that fall upon the world these days. Gone is the age of certainty. Who is the offsetting side in this disfunctional society that we have? It's disfunctional alright because so-called internet influencers are now travelling to Afghanistan and think that the absence of women in daily life is actually not a big thing. I'm not going into the detail of this right now. I'd just state that there's something up and it won't stand. Leave the climate change aside, somehow humanity is on a path of self-destruction yet again. Am I scaremongering? I don't think so because it's obvious that the creative side of humanity is these days put aside in favour of the much more comfortable incline of doing nothing to disturb the boat. Where is the boat sailing? I guess that the present political stories show a way alright. Laying in the sun if you have money, cleaning the toilet floor if you have not. For it is God's design afterall, I hear again. Those are cowardly words nevertheless. Have the best amongst us really lost their way, and for how long indeed now?

It's not God's design, I feel I can say this while agnostic. It's just the hearts and minds of people, compassionately, and in heart becoming deaf and numb to their own feelings. You hear about sadness for so long and suddenly you just crawl into a hole saying I need happiness and those sad tears can be somewhere else. I won't care about those hurting anymore. I can't even face my own tears anymore. We have become numb and insular.

I won't go into politics, but there's rarely a political voice now who displays compassion or empathy. We are electing leaders who capitalize upon anger and apathy. But for one second, remember how you feel towards, how you find all of this so wrong in your heart, there are others and the pendulum always swings.
