To read the conflicts neatly packaged in small or medium posts, it appears that humanity has lost its way. We, no matter how educated or whose side we are on, are trapped. Palestine or Israel? Jew or Gentile? Woman or Man? White or Black? American or Other?
But this only represents the opinions of a few who have the privilege of media representation. Articles neatly written with clarity. Who is to blame? Who gets paid?
Beware of looking at this universe and its inhabitants as proof of reality. Yes it is real. Yes we are real. Yes there are many problems because, well, there are so many of us. Just because we are educated and we have social interests doesn't mean that's all there is?
Just because we don't hear spiders, or deer or full moons doesn't mean their reality is the same as ours.
We don't know everything! All I know is what I read, hear and see and I know that's not everything, not even most. My opinion is not an authority.
I have lived for 76 years and my world keeps changing in spite of all the experts I read, documentaries, and groups I meet with, radio I listen to, friends who have several degrees, who teach and run needed services.
I treasure Canadian, British, Modern, old, new poetry, by people who think seriously about the survival of this Universe.
Go out and read anything and everything. Question everything you read and read it again.
Together we could get through this.
