In response to "Forgiveness"

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!

In response to "War solves nothing."

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.

In response to "Governance "

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.

In response to "Remembrance"

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.

In response to "Laws upon laws warp reason and intent"

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).

In response to "Homelessness"

Just homeless "heavy" once for two years. It was a daily struggle.

In response to "Slavery versus Freedom"

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.

In response to "Gimmie My Hot Cup of Tea"

You obviously write songs! Wish there were more opportunities at WdC for songwriters. I've won in one contest that's now on hiatus.

I was following, until you mentioned GAGA... then I had to pause to laugh. I didn't see that coming.

In response to "Farewell"

Thank you. I'm not giving up. I'm trying another tact.

I'm just not going to bother attending any of their activities for now.

I've paid my dues in many ways.

In response to "2023 Let's save Humanity along with our planet!"

Johnny O your comments are interesting. People are often difficult to deal with, however, there is hope out there. I blogged with "Journalism Intentions", a competition in WDC. When I chose the prompt to write about, I discovered a whole unified effort being played out to save the oceans, from the mounds of plastic, that have been killing the ocean life for some time. It is a real effort with new technology for sweeping and recycling the plastic waste not only from the Oceans but from major rivers as well. There are other major efforts being instituted all over the planet to reinforce the atmosphere and teach people how to have a better life while saving the planet. I hope this gives you some hope as you encourage others to play nice and fix the playground, mother earth. Sincerely, Apondia

Forgiveness

Life is sacred. In order to preserve life upon this planet, forgiveness needs to be applied starting from the top downwards. Our sacred systems are compromised to the extent that the extremes are being embraced. This hatred is at the very centre of our issues. They all stem from the root cause. Long ago, decisions were made, over time unmade then remade too much negativity over time corrupts any focus. In order to safeguard life, we ought to put forgiveness into practice. Without it, inequity and inequality shall lead us towards our collective ends.

Lest we forget as the sayings of old go.

War solves nothing.

Wealth over worth. This is an old argument. Humanity puts too much value in cash when the true value is life itself.

If there are no people to govern, wealth would be worthless. Our true wealth is in living life. We are taught history from an "US versus Them" perspective. This is corrupted humanities focus, leading us to throw our lives away through war throughout time.

Look at various parts of the world. Look we are all trapped within a reactionary position due to fiscal mismanagement brought forward from the days of slavery. War solves nothing.
