A lot is happening and at an exponential rate. Fortunately, we are NOT Alone. We ALL are experiencing rapid change and we are all a part of the whole.
We are all contributors in our own way (not limited to): Globally, politically, economically, culturally, societally, and communally. None of us are isolated, or exempt, from being part of the human race and experiencing systemic shifts.
Maybe you are of the many who have built up your gates and locks, dug a moat outside your castle, and developed new armor to defend against the antagonists.
Maybe for you it looks like numbness, monotonous living, checking out of reality OR something similarly opposite, like being debilitated in shock by the extremes you see/saw, or by your empathy for the pain and hurt you notice, or the lack of support you know humanity could find in one another if they just valued unity more and stopped obsessing over individuality.
Whichever side, side middle, middle, center part of the perspective pendulum you sway, you ARE the swing! Each of us makes up the swing. WE make up the problems, solutions, beliefs, and notions that would and could not exist without each of us, humans of a certain proximity.
If you find yourself hiding out, feeling depressed, craving the couch, using defense mechanisms to protect yourself and what you care about, you are Not Alone!
Many of us are finding ourselves burnt out from lack of support and unity. Like-mindedness. Acceptance. We NEED these to connect... What we are not seeing, noticing, or have awareness of are our commonalities, what we can be unified in.
If we dig deeper we not only share the same race, the same planet, the same burdens in different ways, we even share patterns and certain beliefs, including
Do what's right.
Invest in what's valuable, noble, and true.
Things need to make sense.
We need Love and Peace.
Joy and Laughter make everything feel better.
Virtues matter.
Many of us SHARE Beliefs that SEPARATE us, like
If every human reasoned how I reasoned then we wouldn't have this/these problem/s.
Food for Thought:
Imagine children swinging on a large swing at a park that swung like a pendulum. 5 kids of similar weight, size, and stature on the far right say, sway this way and then 5 kids on the far left say, "No, sway this way." One thing they have in come is they both want to be swung toward and no one is being swung. Now Imagine you are the playground teacher and you pick a side. What that winning? How would you critically solve the problem of their stagnancy?
