And you know, in the end, after all is said and done I actually pretty much agree.
The only difficulty I have
is
How does this deal with the demon in the room?
The demon being the system so powerful it shapes minds to continue its eradication of all values except profit and power. A project it is well down the track on, leaving a trail of unnecessary destruction and death behind it. Its only purpose now is to quash any quarrel with its reality.
There will be no other communities or cultures left to support those that remain but will eventually fall victim to the systemic avarice.
There is a reality that exists in the world
Follow the money
And you can see it
Your money is going elsewhere for reasons that are so depraved
and serve only the interests of a fart in a hurricane
How does family, community and culture stop that reality?
I don't know the answer - But the question seems fair, no?
"The immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life." Understanding this is often referred to as centering or grounding often achieved through meditation. But being grounded in everyday life activities enables seeing the family community and culture in front of you. Also understanding and dismissing that today's social media and news cycle are self-aggrandizing false gods will ensure all of us coexist on this "small blue dot". On a lighter note, happy to see the appreciative comments from your followers. I agree. But to be sure the accolade as a good sh**poster is truly generational. 😊 Looking forward to your next post.
I feel like you should have quoted Carl Sagan lol.
Carl Sagan is always in my top 3 people I’d like to have dinner with.
This was very poetic. I will look past the space stuff, lol, and clap under the dome!
You had me at “infinite, unyielding universe”
Eloquent as you like. Lovely.

I’m nearly half the way through Eumeswil.
Junger’s anarch is at least part of the answer.
I need to read this. Read his fiction. Only read Storm of Steel.
Check out The Forest Passage then Eumeswil.
I’ve not read Storm of Steel but old Junger is ballin’.
Truly outstanding. Thank you for sharing this bit of yourself.
Yesterday, I listened to an interview of Brian Klaas. He said something with a similar feel: "We control nothing, but we influence everything."
Poetic and Deep. Sadly many will not see or read this piece. That's why I will restack and ask others to restack

Well done.
Notes is messed up. The Post button works but doesn't refresh.
Thanks for the comment. I've tidied up the repeats. :)
The white pill I needed this week. Thanks Phisto.
Wise words to uplift weary minds. Nice to be moved by poignant advice.
Nice brother.
This turned my crappy morning into an inspired afternoon
I love this. And it's so reflective of exactly how I am feeling in this day, hour, second, NOW. ❤️
