Only Humans... Why would you believe anything else?

I’ve been on this planet for a while now and it didn’t take long for me to notice that all humans are very similar. Male, female, black, white all cultures and all the little segments we’ve made up want pretty much the same stuff.

Now, inside all the little compartments we created there are aberrations, some feel small some feel big, some feel different, for the most part, these things are affects of our minds things we made up due mostly to the negative way we have built our little societies.

If you find it hard to believe that we are all basically the same I direct you to all of human history. 

All cultures and societies have suffered through the same issues… lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy & pride. 

Yes, that old biscuit! 

Any combination of these seven,  (let us not call them sins, in this present age they are more like states of being ) can lead a person to believe that they are more than common and feeling more than common it’s a short walk from there to believing that the right to dictate is yours! 

Maybe you start to think the right is God-given or some perceived genetic superiority, in either case, you’d be wrong but you would still be part of a very large group of deluded sock puppets. 

I may add some of whom came very close to killing us all.

Now anyone that knows me knows that I have a long-held personal theory that one of the major problems with Earth’s human population is bad definitions we constantly conflate success with money, love with passion, truth with justice and so on and so on.

I think that America’s set of bad definitions comes from the ever-growing level of ignorance in the society, ignorance and a double helping of both hubris and malice mix that up in a big bowl with the American superpower of rationalization and you get halfway to the dystopian nightmare we are currently building.

The simple fact is that as much as we say we love freedom and often chuckle at the hijinks of the countries that have somehow held on to their royals we still have the desire to raise some to a level from which they can easily look down on us, rule us. 

How does that help us?

Why would we do something that is so counter to our stated goals?

A country not held together by our similarities but by our differences is what we are supposed to be building, not concerned that we are not there and may never be but even with that knowledge, we keep working on it anyway.

This is a period of time where America & the world is going to be forced to face and reconcile our long-held set of bad definitions the truth is we have been living a lie for so long that it was inevitable that we’d come to the place where we could no longer see the truth, and that has made easy victims to tribalism & conmen.

We do say we want freedom, truth, justice but the simple things we must do as a people to achieve these things are apparently too hard an ask. Even at the risk of the loss of freedom we refuse to come together to defeat what we all know is evil, instead we revert to our tribes in the hopes that somehow we will be somehow spared the results of our ignorance by clinging to our religion, righteousness, intelligence or the foolish idea that “someone else” will come along and fix it all.

Is freedom just too hard for modern humans?

Are we better off being dictated to and made to stand in line until our time comes to leap into the gaping maw of the salivating machine we have built and now must be fed?

Of course not but the path we are on leads only to 90% of us living on the wrong side of a barbed wire fence.
