We live in a time of chaos where nothing can be believed because much of what we are told by politicians, journalists and the 1% is untrue or at best wishful thinking on their part.
Ot has changed the way I look at peopleI know and the general population forever. I've known how dangerous the mob can become in a flash, most of my life, but the last few years and now this, have been Satan's kiss. I made my feelings about the horrid history and Netinyahu very clear to those close to me right from day one. It embarrasses me to remember when that psychopath fooled me for awhile, but it reenforced to me that we're all vulnerable. I know none of them will raise the issue now. As for those not that close, I've avoided looking to see if they've made their feelings known. I'm a descendant of Jews who barely escaped torturous deaths in pogroms in Ukraine and described too much to me when I was very young. They wanted to warn me. We had neighbors with tatoos from Auschwitz and vacant stares. That and living in the South Bronx, as it was being burned down and violent crime was prolific, gave me PTSD. There was a time I thought humanity had a chance. Now I realize the cycle of too many, too-easily manipulated, inherently amygdala controlled brains, the psychopaths among us gain control over, turbo-charged by the tech and technocrats, Carl Sagan warned us most would be overwhelmed by (if they are even aware of) makes that the slimest of possibilites. And we'll take a lot of other DNA iterations along with us. I have to focus on what aid to existential needs I can offer and attempting to inspire more. I see no impediment to the cycle, beyond the fact our abilities to deal destruction at the push of a button, the release of a virus or the ravaging of the environment has now advanced to very likely be the last one for us.
PS Apologies for the deletes to edit. They need an edit function and quite frankly, this has shaken me enough disrupt my concentration.
I've just written that this so-called war has changed me. In ways I don't even know yet, but I do know I will never look upon western Democracy the same again. This was needed to be said John. Fucking politicians wearing poppies while supporting genocide.

Cheers, Comrade, Take care, John
Thanks John, appreciate the way you summarise events, sharp political analysis with a spiritual vibe. It always feels positive no matter how grim!
