What I read above really just makes me sick. I could care less about your epiphany on the war. The statement that pains my snarrglies…
“This world sucks in many ways...not just in the easy to see; perceive physical ways, but in the “unseen” ways that are easily felt; perceivable touch inside...within. The things we’ve done as we’ve tried to play the bigger role than what man was intended for.”
What? You live in Wisconsin, probably went to school in Madison, so I understand your taught to hate the USA. I do not understand how you could possibly fathom knowing what “role man was intended for.” ??? I see that I live in the greatest country in the world, and my country is so great, some of the people are willing to sacrifice part of their lives to share parts of that greatness. It is really hard to see greatness around you if your attitude is that nothing human is great, what a sad life that must be.
I’ll pass on debating you on the ignorant (bold and untrue) slams...Don’t care at all to discuss anything more with you really...I knew you wouldn’t (try to) get it...which is the only reason I interjected (again)...just wanted to share a piece from the other side...feeling life by perceiving what you feel; what you see..."awake"...not that tough to understand...matter of fact, you should be able to get it...it’s what seems to be at the heart of what bugs you about the whole blindly following “sheeple”. But seeing that you won’t give that side of reality a chance, maybe that’s just it...you too are part of the blindly following “sheeple”...and it is really getting to you…
I see profound greatness in the natural world...and again, that’s what humans are and have been a part of...I see the good that humans are doing, and have done, I also see the bad. That’s all! Again, not too hard. But sooo important...to see both sides. Like Jack says, “Who needs please when we have guns?” I understand it’s not always bad intent, but we’ve too often “asleep”; unaccepting personal responsibiltiy for the bad...and like everyone, I too am one of “the people”. I see the good, it’s so easy to see the good...I see it on both (actually, three) sides...what is, was, and what can be. What’s challenging, is to see the bad...on both (all three) sides…
Hoping you know this Jack line by now...So who is it that really, “takes a picture from the pretty side”? Both of us really...again, there’s just two sides...making humanity and the “unseen” the symmetrical world, but it can only be truly beautiful when in harmony; when we all understand...yeah, peace. And we’ve all been on your road for such a long time...time for something new....whatever that means.
I have a “scientist” friend who says to his fellow scientist friends, “At some point logic ends.” And yet that too has another side...and that’s the entry. And that’s the not-so-secret, secret to our future, and our past, to the universe...so what is really true? At some point you have to trust not just what you see, but also what you feel.
Yes, I am often sad when I look around and see; because I believe in so much more that we could be. But I’m also grateful for what I have AND I’m anxious to find what I feel is ahead...whatever fate that brings...taking care of the planet; being aware of the excess waste we make beyond our breath and what comes from eating moderately… it just feels like the right thing to do...logic...from the other side; it’s all about balance; understanding...we’re just tipping the scale to make it all right...again.
