Greetings good citizen, everywhere you look the 'virtues' of respect and common decency have vanished [heads up to those of you who take the reference of 'pushing us into our own cesspool' literally.]
Without respect and common decency/courtesy society is one big, stinking, ugly cesspool where the struggle to remain upright is an exercise in futility.
How sad is it that most youths were raised with zero appreciation for either 'quality'...and without quality, you have nuthin!
Ever wonder why the West was so violent? Because without respect you were no better than an animal, deserving only of being gunned down.
So we return to our social 'disconnect', where we respect 'money' (and the power money can buy) but we hold the 'qualities' of dignity and 'self-respect' in contempt.
Need I direct your attention to the eye that never blinks when you go searching for a culprit? Automation has given humanity the luxury of free time and humanity, simpleminded as it is, is easily bored, therefore it 'craves' entertainment...the baser the better.
Humans are such 'mimics' (and SO socially needy) that nobody can deny 'we live what we see' in an often vain attempt to be 'accepted'...there the spotlight splits in two, with half craving worship and the other half cultivating fear.
How sick is it that those 'comfortable in their own skin' are the 'rare commodity' under this particular 'Big Top'?
But I feed a myth. There is a correlation between violence and justice, meaning 'the lawless West' was a violent place because our principle drive [opportunism] lacks the restraint to do the 'right thing', practically DARING others to kill us.
With that comes our warped concept of 'ownership'. Sharing, so necessary in a place you DON'T have all to yourself, ISN'T taught to us at any point in our life cycle. Sure, we are (often forced) to 'Share' as children (but most of us resented it) and modern parents just throw up their hands and let the juveniles sort it out (We all know how that one ends.)
If we share, we come upon it ourselves. Part of it is the 'emptiness' of selfishness and the other part is the need to be 'accepted' [if we share, others will 'like' us (and maybe not kill us!)
Twisted creatures that we have become, we badly need to get our 'house in order'...(while there is still a house to save.)
Most of us are sick and tired of hearing it's 'our fault' but that is only partially true. The lack of responsibility displayed by the 'feckless' [a.k.a. the 'anything for a buck crowd'] is mostly what's driving this 'race to the bottom' that has been forced on us.
We have fallen down, good citizen and NOBODY is going to pick us back up if we don't stand on our own two and tell the feckless in no uncertain terms, NO MORE!
I already told you what step one was [Firing the meat-puppet government, closing the rip-off banks, the fantasy 'stock market' and the useless 'front office' of EVERY corporation, The 'sole survivor' of the purge will be the 'planning office', where the nuts and bolts of commerce are delivered to the production floor.]
Justice will take on a whole new meaning. Break the law and you will have your membership in society REVOKED! Not for 'spitting on the sidewalk' but for intimidating some older person from using what you consider to be YOUR parking spot.
You will go OUT OF YOUR WAY to have people think well of you because your 'reputation' is ALL you have. People don't guard their reputation anymore as evidenced by all the accusations of 'unwanted sexual advances' coming out of the woodwork lately.
Love itself is a 'crazy game' of chase me until I catch you that also NEEDS ground rules taught to EVERY CHILD regarding what is or isn't 'appropriate'. Seriously, kidults across humanity are still in the dark about how the game (should be) played because some puritanical A-Hole decided for them that 'none' was the proper level of education!
Worse, we fall back on our 'mimic' nature and when it mixes with our 'creative' side it seems we are all attempting to 'raise the bar' (unfortunately 'audacity-wise'! We're not trying for 'better'; we're shooting for 'more outrageous'!) a mark we all too often manage to achieve.
We are all 'eager to learn' but we need 'competent educators' and that appears to be a rare commodity indeed, those who teach the teachers need to be vetted much more thoroughly than they currently are! (as evidenced by the deplorable state of society itself, a state of IGNORANCE. reinforced by our vacant educational system that is devoid of standards!) [Shut up and drink the Kool-Aid!]
Civility is the buffer that prevents us from (righteously) KILLING ONE ANOTHER ON SIGHT! (so 'untrustworthy/treacherous' is mankind) the 'two second truce' allowed us to build great things [for other people...who failed to appreciate the effort and then tried to exterminate us afterwards!]
Truly, it is a marvel that against our better judgement we DON'T kill one another on sight [and a good thing too because we're not all a waste of perfectly good butt-wipe that the mindless conservatives regularly refer to the rest of us as.]
But the lawn is a little weedy and education isn't always the solution. [Which is to point out that 'tolerance' often becomes a self-inflicted wound.]
When will people learn that 'the mark' is always 'in the middle', it's not left or right, up or down, happiness is being 'centered'.
Civility is respect for the others while enjoying yourself and allowing others to enjoy themselves without interference, accepting the inevitable splash over that occurs when space is shared.
We truly are social creatures and NEED others because it helps keep us 'centered'...so this 'right-left' Mumbo-jumbo is exactly that, and attempt to muddy the waters and distract the rest of us from what's important...like the 'qualities' of unity and harmony.
Now THAT'S QUALITY BABY!
Think about it while you are reflecting on your 'blessings' tomorrow...
Thanks for letting ME inside YOUR head,
