fear week —some editorials plain and simple...
Last Night the commentator said—I don’t know how to interpret the events of the last 72 hours except for to observe we are at a crossroads. Then as he signed off he said ‘be safe.”
Let’s face it. We have all heard these types of remarks lately. Basically what they mean is... things are uncertain and you need to be afraid to the extent that this fear dictates your actions in general.
We are at a crossroads?
Well Dorothy.... you aren’t in Kansas anymore and you have come to a place where the dualistic notions of.reality are under attach (mostly by the truth). Since you are puzzled and need to make some choices, you ponder and look for assistance when all the sudden you come across a scarecrow. The scarecrow of course suggests the only thing that is not possible (or is it?) —that both directions might be the right. Way to go.
What won’t work? Staying right where you are. Staying right where you are because of fear is the same (and I’ve used this before) as standing on the tracks, hearing a rumble, and instead of moving...just wondering how fast the train may be coming. The bottom line is that many so called leaders in our world today and many followers too—are selling fear because if they. Can create a feeling of anxiety that has specific symptoms then they also can offer the “cure.” And thus either maintain or grab “control.”
If I sell guns I want to create fear that that somewhere someone has better bigger guns and that someone else wants to take the guns you already have (which is your right by the way) away.
If I sell drugs—let’s call them vaccines—you see our leaders don’t care what drugs we use they care whose drugs we buy—and if you want to know the extent of big pharma impact on our society just watch every news show on our media. Count what percentage of our.”news” from the left and from the right is paid for by advertising that features either a drug should tell your doctor about or a health insurance related commmercial.
These health commercials are notorious for describing. conditions and symptoms that to some degree many people could have at some times and seek to become legitimate by applying a set of initials. As an acronum. Restless Leg Syndorme becomes. RLS— Erectile Disfunction is of course ED and Irritable Bowel Syndrome is of course IBS ... well I can buy the BS part anyway......
Right now. Let’s take masks... One set of folks has defined masks as the answer to reducing fear of infection from a virus and another group defines masks as an effort on the behalf of folks to take. Our freedom away.... So masks become a battleground where. One group is saying be afraid of getting sick or dead because you are not wearing a mask and the other group is saying I’m not going to buy these rules which take away my choices because the moment I give in to putting a piece of cloth on my head I’m going to be plunged into a socialist medicine state. Each side stands and screams at each other and yet neither side seems to be screaming for good science to determine what this or that type of mask really does. Personally, I say if you can’t. Find a way to express your individual values with our without a mask or if you can’t consider public health to be bigger than you... then this life is truly a sad state of affairs.
And now... what really needs some attention...
FEAR AND RACISM
You are either one race or another and you are either a racist or not. It is either disrespectful to protest and “riot” to get attention to is necessary to do these things to make change happen...Well that’s the subject for a couple more posts to follow this one—Spoiler Alert—notice that. It’s about dualism extreme points of view and control again...again and again and again It’s not about dealing with guns, drugs, your health, or labels... it’s about who gets to address their fears and how they will be used to do so... and tha’t what will be discussed for the next week or so... because... the train is always coming....
But what if it’s the love train?
