Yes, the title of these two blogs appear grim, I know. The purpose of what I'm saying is really to make us aware of what we are doing to the planet and one another. True, there are a lot of good things that come out of humanity and I have faith it will continue. Enough good would need to counteract the destruction we are creating here in order to "breakeven", so to speak, and even more to bring about overall healing to all.
In this country, the USA, we are ever increasingly divided mainly in the area of race and politics. With our unique diversity, we can truly do amazing things if we came together. We've made up our fucking minds that it's ok to be a part of something that blatantly excludes others. Moreover, people are willing to kill or create severe harm to claim and defend their superiority over another. What did your mom put in your Cream of Wheat to make you think like that? Bitches, I tell ya!
[Random thought: The term "reverse racism" is so damn retarded. I mean yes, racism is backward; however, either something is deemed racist or not. Period. End of story. It's just another one of those ethnocentric bullshit terms that I keep hearing; to the point that I don't think the people saying it even know what they are REALLY saying!]
What I think really isn't important. What is, is that we find a way to dissolve this kind of fucking juvenile entitled and narcissistic behavior before we are all done for. Quite honestly, I have this weird feeling that, just like some villains want to destroy the planet, some assholes really just want the whole world to burn even with them in it. Insanely suicidal and yet somewhat accepted as part of a plot in an action movie. "Can't we all just get along?", asked Rodney King even after being beaten to a pulp. I know that's been a butt of some jokes, so saying it gets a tongue-in-cheek response, but seriously...can't we?
If we don't, then the great American Empire will truly fall and there ain't nothing or nobody to stop it at that point. I'm trying my best to stay optimistic; that the future is bright with abundant possibilities. I would be lying to you if I said that it isn't challenging. Even after cutting off watching the news and curbing my time spent on social media, both for years, negative voices still sneak in. I don't think I'm the only one. I mean, you'd have to be pretty fucking bulletproof to stay smiley all the time. Wait, that would be unbelievably creepy, yeah? Anyway, as I've been taught in boxing and combat sports, protect yourself at all times. This doesn't mean be unkind; actually, quite the opposite. Be kind but watch your back. That's what this year calls for. My one word for this year is INTENTION. What will you intend this year?
