Considering all of human history, I recognize how lucky I am to have been born into this society. Not long ago, humans had to defecate into a hole in the ground.
Plumbing, electricity, and abundant food are wonderful examples of my good fortune.

Living in today's world is extremely difficult. It's hard to have and achieve our dreams, in my opinion. It's not that it can't be done, but I think it happens less and less each day.
Hi 😊 I saw your poem Lost (on the hub wall) you are an honest and brave soul to share that... I can relate to the subject and wanted to let you know there are other souls out here in WDC land for support. I belong to a good group of folks who deal with anxiety and depression lol!
The little bit of your blog I read shows that you are smart and have right on perception of life.
Just passing through and will read and review soon.
I just got finished with my last assignment in a course here. It was about showing the characters' emotions rather than just telling. I learned a lot from it!
Good place here and have a blessed day buddy!
I beg to differ, being trapped in this corrupted focus, one has to play by the rules to survive. Thus the bullshit sayings like " To the victor goes the spoils" and " He with the gold makes all the rules." War, though i agree with you is serious human folly, solves who is on top of the pile at the end of the day, even if it is a pile of shit.
I agree love is needed to fix the quandry of the system we have in place to govern, but i would add that that love needs to be tempered by Respect. It's hard to act against a person you respect and you don't have to love them to do so.
We forget. WW1 is forgotten. WW2 is almost forgotten. Numerous wars in the US lead to a numbness with every death. And once numbed we forget.
We barely embrace our fellow humans. We wage war on all other life-forms. In the end... inhumane humanity will be forgotten. Not all creation-stories have happy endings.
Examples come to mind. Observant Jews have hundreds of laws and many spend time obsessing over which ones apply where and when. Switzerland is notorious for rigid laws, as is Singapore.
Simple exhortations like "love thy God, love thyself, love others (especially your enemies)" get drowned out by pedantic nitpickers (example: US Supreme Court).
I agree with ideals and goals in spite of what others pursue or block; but, goals without measurable objectives are abstract and 'squishy'.
One example from my experience... I had a bbq in my garden for 15 years on August 28th for MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech. I invited a wide range of people. Usually 30-80 came. I may never know the impact but it was an act I could measure.
Brethren the very reasons why I stopped participating are directly related to my benevolence. I am an honorable person. I keep my word. However, since I was not allowed within the life of the woman of my dreams, there wasn't a need to continue. Look, I am all for acts of kindness. But when you truly love someone, the pain increases to the point of issue, you either are allowed to love or you walk away. I never did anything that I gave out of selfishness. Selflessness in truth. I never took anything tangible moneywise from any of you. I never mixed up wealth for worth. Look brethren, its simple. I no longer give for God demanded I take back ownership of my art and frame myself. No joke. Love is an extention of forgiveness. It needs to be applied. The trust tries to justify being split down the middle between those whom shall be saved versus those unworthy. But love, compassion, forgiveness and understanding needs to be directly applied to all issues. The reason why war has broken out is directly related to the issues and enslavement must stop. First off, we all have feelings, they matter. Second, we all have life, its priceless. Third, we all die eventually. How you treat others matters deeply to God. I chose to honor God by taking nothing. Many fear me and my clear mind. Many refuse to allow for me to continue remotely serving since they covet money and power. I was asked to serve. I accepted. But never have I fallen short. My tenure as king saw that I grew in understanding. Both sides liberal and conservative try to govern. This us versus them idealogue is utterly false. Let me explain. Who has the right to dictate the value of entire cultures? No one. God does not do this, yet humanity fights to remain on top of everyone. This is wrong. Look at everyone through the lens of love and compassion. Only then can we heal our planet. If we don't the cost shall be the extermination of humanity and along with us, many other forms of life. Slavery still exists. This is the reason why Russia invaded the Ukraine. Currently we try to justify currency differences, differences in law through language augmented by individualistic nationalism. There's nothing wrong with loving one's culture and ethnicity. But when you apply differences rather than the opposite, you enhance slavery. I am all for the cream of society rising above obscurity but never at the expense of another person through inequity and inequality. This breeds hate and leads us to war. Let me ask a question. Do we have the right to dictate the worth of a person? No should be the answer. Society must unite to avoid a mass manipulation of our sacred fraternal instituitions. Although Masonry and the Shrine are individual entities, the are married to each other through the memberships. War can never be justified. But it shall be our collective result born from enslavement being employed. The planet must realize that war is knocking upon your doors. Prior to world war one, the great depression, world war two we enacted laws like Trump has been enacting. This is the truth. Further, it's a form of hate.
