Greetings good citizen, the now ancient admonition goes, "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you!"
With the media fanning the flames of fear at every opportunity we have all become, er, 'wary' that things aren't (because they seldom are) what they appear to be on the surface.
That said we (actually all life) is 'suspicious' [largely due to the kill or be killed dynamic that we have yet to, as a species, conquer.]
Some would 'quibble' that the advent of commerce abolished both poverty and starvation but reality tells a different story.
Strong are the proponents who believe if you starve to death in this world it is your own fault...this is decidedly not true. Profits before people kill thousands every day.
Like I pointed out yesterday, 'charity' only exists if someone is watching.
Which for the most part nobody is...why do you suppose the myriad 'foundations' that checkerboard society have failed to eradicate even one of the diseases they were founded to 'cure'?
[STOP!]
Trust is a commodity that isn't easy to come by because we tend to hide our true motivations behind facades. We say one thing but don't mean 90% of it...how can you 'trust' someone like that?
The opportunist in us is a natural self-promoter and the best of them are also adept at pretending to be self deprecating while they are at it. They make a big production out of 'gee whiz' and 'aw shucks' along with the inability to make/maintain eye contact...(which speaks of something else entirely.)
The 'honesty deficit' is being driven by a predatory system that is tearing society to shreds. Compassion is often rewarded with suicide as the victim often takes their would be savior with them under the waves of exploitation.
Want fellow creatures you can make common cause with? We must first end the race to acquire...every damned thing!
Half of what you are compelled to purchase you only need the temporary 'use' of.
But the battle to survive produces a few winners and the rest become 'collateral damage' in a fight to the death.
We could do so much more with so much less if we ended the 'it's mine' bullshit!
This world and what society produces belongs to us all, EQUALLY!
We fail to learn this lesson at the risk of our own extinction!
United we stand...it CAN'T be 'yours' and OURS too.
Cooperate and live or die defending what you can NEVER 'own'.
If you don't smarten up there soon won't be a 'next time'.
