The Europeans initially thought well he probly won’t get elected. Then it was well, you know, how bad can it be, maybe it won’t be that bad, then it was, well it’ll be over someday. Nobody lives forever. Then it was like . . . where are we now? Phase 3? Or is it 4. And what happens next, now that he’s nuked Nato and brought the world to the edge of WWIII?
“Experience is the mother of wisdom.” a famous saying. Euripides or somebody. We’re (humanity) about to have an experience so hopefully we can get some wisdom. This is my prayer and hope.
Wisdom would tell us to live together in peace and love. Like one giant hippie trip, without the trip or the hippie. It would tell us take care of your biosphere, it is precious and fragile. It would tell us that being alive is the most fantastic thing of all. Just being alive. As opposed to not being alive.
Where we are now we can barely see any of that wisdom it seems to me. We are totally distracted from our true agenda and only feel it like a distant star, barely visible. The true purpose of being alive. Do you know what it is? If you do, you must be on a distant star to me. Ha! That’s a Thoreau joke.
Where we are now is hardly a joke. Like the one about Tom Thumb who tumbled off the wall? Wait was that Humpty Dumpty, fell off the wall? I love myth. It is the essence of storytelling. Check it out on your next movie or book. Stop and calibrate all the archetypes that are shining like stars in the story. If you are enjoying the book or movie it’s because you are connecting with the archetypes. It’s so human.
Read Joseph Campbell if you want to know about it. I don’t have time to get into it right now. I just wanted to ask - where are we now? If anyone has ideas, please post them in comments. Maybe we can get some conversation going. Where are we now?
Seems like a good question.
