“We all Hurt, we all feel Joy, we all get Turned-on, or Scared.
We all experience Loss, and lack of Self-Worth and feel Badly Treated by The World at times.
And I understand why everyone should Talk and Tell Stories from their own position you know but it’s also very useful – and a major human talent – to imagine How Other People Feel and consider how The World might look through their eyes.
And you do that by staying informed, listening to voices even when you disagree with them –—and by employing empathy and imagination to put yourself in their place as best as you’re able.
These are Difficult Times. I’m not a Guru. I don’t know what to say to make it all better. There’s seven in a half billion people and it often seems they all fucking hate each other! Yet they all want everyone else to agree with their tiny, restricted, localized points of view. And they’ve all got a piece of ground to defend against perceived foes. I get it, but ultimately, we’re all one thing, one massive organism that’s going through difficult growing pains at the moment, so maybe we need to start thinking about what makes us alike, rather than different.
I hope so.
G.M.
