Just read a post on Facebook - a merry Christmas wish. Below that was a couple of comments from different names. "You are chosen - please visit my page and friend me." Both were from male identities although I doubt they were real people.
My thoughts immediately went to SCAM! You know those phone calls that are recorded on your message system that warns of large charges on your email with instruction to press "1" to stop the charges.
We are living in a time when scammers find opportunity from other scammers, when we are so plagued by headlines of evil greedy con artists, some who are gaining billions.
Although most people I have met have integrity and work for the greater good, I have read articles from mainstream writers that suggest our corporate economy is run by well dressed sociopaths and our planet is sinking into the realm of lizards who have thrown out any feelings of guilt.
It's almost like those who love life and friendship and equality - are still in kindergarten while real men feel entitled to take, rape and murder whatever they can to put coins in the bank.
And the rest of us believe we don't count. We don't have any power.
Please don't drink that Kool-Aid. Please think about all the teachers, relatives and friends you admire, and think about all you have that was established on the notion of equality and justice. The medicare, education and laws to protect were fought over before I was born, after a very dark and violent war.
You are chosen to live your life with as much happiness and deep meaning as you can. It's your life and it doesn't have to be explained by media or politics. You and our future are a work in progress.
