No matter what others choose
we can choose kindness. I have always felt cared for when people say kind things.
Kindness no matter how small brings me back to myself, my world, country and nation. Yes I choose the gentle arts.
Trees are not gentle but they appear harmless to me mostly because I dont interfere with their well-being.
Kindness is what can put us to sleep. But it can also be as familiar as a neighbour or relative.
As a whole humans are hungry, tired and worried, but they also research what is healthy, they make medicine, loving kindness. My family keep me warm and content.
I know this is a boring post, no action, no fear, no blood. It will soon be supper time which is cruel to the animals killed. It would be good to do no harm. Eat only vegetables.
I love the people who care for others. The ones who opened their house for a party. I love my family. I love my care workers who have trained to give me baths, to give me medicines.
I understand how boring this post must be.
I also love my family. And a glass of white wine at supper. Let others be beautiful, interesting, famous and rich. I'll be boring.
How To Be Powerful Without Harming The Innocent
Ah now here's the solution! But is it doable?
Now that I have two more grandsons I am most concerned about this.
How many grandchildren do I have?
G, 1, E. 2. K. 3, 3 from Geoff,
0 from Elaine
2 from Karen
Then there are those from three children's spouses.
Save.

We Are In The Age of Showy Capitalism
Reading through some posts it looks like the purpose of buying gifts is to create jealousy in your friends and neighbours, not to send a gift to someone you love. According to AI.
Saving money, sowing beautiful things, buying flashy diamonds, and all other shopping, is to create jealousy in your loved ones.
No pleasure, no need, no beauty ... just to make someone else rage with anger, jealousy and disapointment.
Buy a car that costs thousands, a dress that makes you look like a beauty queen, a house that is more like a castle than a comfy home.
This is how we destroy the world with jealousy, hatred and poverty.
But then what would anyone expect from AI, the internet and the corporate world?

When We Don't Feel Powerful?
"Yeah, this has been going on for decades and probably his first victim was my dad. And unfortunately, as I’ve also written, a lot of people mistake his cruelty for strength. There’s something just so cool and macho about causing harm to people over whom you have power. And he also enjoys humiliating people, as did my grandfather, but we’ve seen it in the way he talks so dismissively about service members who’ve died in his illegal war of choice, and not just illegal war of choice, but deeply, deeply misguided and criminal, in my view. We see it in the way he dismisse" Mary L Trump
It's only cool and macho if you have no conscience. Sometimes when you join a group or movement you are asked to do something or several things you hadn't considered. Such as how humans survived, how did women become "witches" and were burned when we become supportive to man? How is it so easy to become a threat to the sysem within patriarchal values?
This probably took hundreds of years to develop and began with the supremacy of ownership (land, corporations, beauty, talent).
None of these things dominate in the long run but while they are used by other owners, lies, imagnination and hopes become sparkling gems in the imagination.
It is the work of orginary people who can imagine. Who care about others.

A Solution?
Yes there are many solutions but for this time in North America it looks like going to war, the nazi's, the demagogue, all out war with humans, and praise for mindless power.
So we, humanity need you to cast your mind back to the caves. No it's not the fault of women who love men, women who love women or women who love life or even the voice of women. And it does not matter who is to blame.
We must realize we had so much going for us now although the past was rough. Hitler, Stalin, or the Roman Empire.
We are to blame. We being people with brains and training to survive. People who may be religious or non religious, capitalist or non-capitalist. There are no solutions. We just need to love each other, love life and nurture it with gentle guidance.
The first thing we need to do is love each other, love life more than we love our tricks, our degrees, our wealth and our best suits.
We must see that life is not about us. It is about letting live all who dont want to hurt the world. Loving trees, grass, flowers, clouds, sun and moon.

The Comfort of Family
Scrolling through posts on the internet. I conclude my message needs to be heard again. So where do I go? Nowhere - stay home. Ask your children and grandchildren what they think about AI or media of the most well known kind.
What do you think about immigrants? I think they are humans and deserve human support. They deserve to be seen and heard but in a capitalist society that focuses on entertainment not human rights.
We as a society need to think about social justice. We need to make this known in our groups, church or religious organizations.
It's only humanity who can see this, feel this and work towards this.
Not by shouting or sending insults to those who dont agree but by organizing events that reveal a humanity in its presentation.
What do you think?
Here is space for you to write your thoughts:
