FULL MOON
Look deep within yourself. Contemplate your happiness. Are you content with your Life. Do you feel as a Slave. Or do you merely accept things as they come and consider yourself "lucky" if untouched by any major affliction thusfar. Or do you feel peace and contentment as you do this.
I believe that the entire World is in crisis. Any Happiness and Contentment are now threatened and any "Luck" is dwindling. The "State of the World" is a state compromised by Evil. This Evil is insidious and creeps unrelenting into our lives. It has been doing this from the "beginning". Evil now overshadows our lives and our futures.
There are a great many that I encounter who feel that as long as they can live out their lives in their present comfort zones ... they could give a sh*t. Not only is this atitude not very "Noble", it is utterly irresponsible and totally wrong. In some ways almost anything is debatable but in other ways ... some are not at all debatable ... they are either Right or Wrong.
None of us on our own can change much and certainly not the World ... but by taking responsibility and the Right Action of communicating, informing, learning and discussing with others ... we can influence certain things. Is this not better than just doing nothing ? Our society has been fragmented and as a result of this isolation we and others have been made less socially minded and less "pro-active".
Most of us are "older" and as such we perhaps have learned more and might be considered wiser than our younger contemporaries. Use this when and where you can to do "good" and set examples. Many of you are already doing some of this as a result of your care and observation ... your love of Humanity.
The fabrications and semantics of "politics" are for the most part mere distraction from what is the reality. Cutting to the quick is something that many here have shown their abilities in. There is not supposed to be a general agreement on any political issue because by it's very nature it is purposefully designed to create discontent, conflict and argument. Disagreement can be expressed and discussed without discontent, conflict or argument.
At the Coffee Roaster where my Wife works I have purposefully done this with many who come there and are not of the same "opinion" as myself. It is an interesting challenge and exercise for me but quite rewarding and educational. I have actually influenced many in a positive and informative way in addition to learning some things I was not aware of as well.
Conversely I rarely discuss Politics and Religions with my Wife. And when I do I must be very careful in order to avoid argument. There are many reasons for this and despite all this we do share many of the same opinions and views when we do discuss civily. Like the creation, the practice, the rehearsal and the recording of Music the interchange of ideas often requires a certain "feel" and a working together to achieve a mutual objective.
I feel the Art of Conversation is quickly being lost due to the computer, internet, texting and "Social Media" combined with the further degeneration and retardation of the Human Mind. This is paralleled by what has happened to Music as well and due to the very same factors.
I know that there are a vast amount of benefits to all this as well but my point is that we, as the dinosaurs we are , are only too aware of what was before, during and now. Those younger are not. I can remember when there was no TV, no calculators, no cell phones, computers, internet, social media and no drugs or pot in my school. Can you ?
I am very thankful for growing up in the time and manner I did. None of my nieces or nephews have this luxury and as a result they are even now beginning to suffer from it. But still due to where and how ... they still have more going for them than most in more "urban" areas.
I am interested to hear how others see all this. I have no desire to argue even if there is a difference of opinion ... I would just like to hear what others think. Ta.
