Greetings good citizen, not terribly long ago there were those in positions of authority who would have claimed the string of natural disasters were in fact a 'sign' that God Almighty was 'displeased with us' and how we needed to placate him by 'giving til it hurt'.
Heck, the less unabashed might even have called for 'a day of national atonement.' [Savvy politicians played the 'superstitious' like a virtuoso!]
While we seem to have partially removed the blinders [put there by the feckless] they still 'fearmonger' with reckless abandon! You know we're 'fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here'. Quiz time, without either a Navy OR an Airforce, how were they supposed to get here, swim?
We already know they think we're stupid but it's become apparent that some of them have been sipping their own kool-aid.
Leading us back to question number one...in a nuclear armed world can we afford leaders who are both Superstitious AND Stupid?
You'd think one would keep the other in check but unfortunately every mad-man in history claims he 'talked to God' and we all know how THAT turned out...
Oddly, the wise among us know using natural events for 'political expediency' is just another form of 'opportunism', which also put 'the nothing free about it' media under a well-deserved cloud of suspicion.
That said, there are still those who operate under the 'assumption' that Spirit in the Sky is real and, without media prompting, take it upon themselves to 'pray' for the rest of us [whether we want them to or not, because they are 'selfless' that way. (Hooboy, I's building me a Mansion in the SKY baby!...or so they believe. Humans really are gullible AND shameless. That most ancient of axioms still holds true, 'nothing for nothing'.]
Not to disparage the genuine 'selfless'. There are those that 'do' for others without expectation of recompense. They don't do it to earn 'brownie points' with God but because they know if they don't, nobody else will.
Some live their lives 'leading by example'. It's how we all SHOULD be but personal greed gets the better of us.
That said life seems to provide us with endless opportunities to beat ourselves up for not helping when we (sort of) could have.
Thus are our lives (over) filled with regret.
Zero irony this 'regret' is the identical substance that 'hardens the hearts' of conservo-whackos. It is why they are adamant others take responsibility for their own lives. Preferring the helpless to suffer in silence than remind them they don't deserve their lives of relative ease.
While I have no truck with Spirit in the Sky I do subscribe to the idea of ka and that the universe strives for a modicum of 'balance'. What comes around, goes around!
Poop on the communal plate and EVERYBODY gets to have poop for dinner!
Heaven isn't a destination but a journey...and we have far to go before we sleep.
Thanks once again for letting me inside YOUR head [I can only speak to you if you let me.]
